Default Nerf Bars (3rd Set)

Well I got my 3rd set of Nerf Bars. Same style and type as my original ones, Just Black.

I did noticed this set came with a Center Bracket, The First set didnt and held fine so I think this set will hold and not flex which is great, my current set which is a 6" Oval Stainless Powered Coated Black set flexes at the back when stepped on ALOT and I cant stand it. The first set got messed up tryin to paint them Black, and got beaten up some to.
Pics to come

I'm on my second set of OEMs, these are solid as can be. I'm thinking of taking them off for the summer though.
Let's see them 6"ers.

I wasn't too impressed with any of the bars available for my truck (especially considering how much they cost), so I made my own. They bolt to the frame and don't flex at all.

All 3 Sets ive bought have been under $200, New, Shipped with Hardware.
Locally it was $300-400ish + Hardware for one set.

I currently have the 6" Oval ones on, Im changing them back to another "nerf" style set because the flex like 3-4 inches at the back if I stand on it And im only 140ish. The other ones would maybe a inch, these ones with the center bracket should be great.

Original Nerf Stainless Steel Set



6" Oval Stainless Powered Coated Black Set




Just waiting for some warmer weather to swap them over to the new set. Hope to pickup my 5'x10' Enclosed Aluminum Trailer this week so they might be next week, or the weekend.

Got the new set installed today, Had to partially Retap on end of the running boards because the weld partial stuck out past the threads so it wouldnt thread in.

Good thing I also kept my 1st Sets Mounting Brackets, The new set stuck down father and didnt have Support Brackets. Plan to have new support brackets for hte back ones made, lost the old ones

Front Set

Rear Set
