Hey guys, I'm looking in eBay, andI think I’m going to order some nerf bars, butI need some help... I want to get some for my QC, and I see tons of them for less than $230, so I think that is my highest price $230. What brands are good? I saw some that don't have a brand name, does anyone have those, and are they good? What do you guys suggest I get? I want some that are made in USA for sure. I also was wondering ... should I go chrome, Or Black chrome? What looks better? What's more durable?

 

I've had four sets in my life, two Westins and two that were not. I've had issues with both that were not (paint peeling, chrome pitting, step pads coming off on the highway, etc.)
So I would imagine you could guess what I'd recommend...

 

Westins are a good brand and you can usually find them pretty cheap if you look around. But if you can't find a cheap set and continue shopping around, just make sure that you get stainless tubes. Doesn't matter if they are coated or chrome, as long as they will withstand the weather and not rust or bend easily on you.

 

I agree, forget chromed steel. Make sure you get polished stainless, or chromed stainless (Westin CPS).

Personally, I've owned two sets of Back Country Stainless bars, but they are more than $230. Back Country also makes black bars, but I don't recall their pricing.

Also, I just did some searching and, depending on your climate (winters, road salt, etc) if you want black bars, I'd go with black powdercoated stainless barsversus black powdercoated mild steel.

I found a decent site that sells, either, with free shipping - http://www.trick-truck-toys.com/

 

not to thread jack, but what do you guys think of OEM step bars? like the 4" oval straight ones? i hear westins are very goos too.

 

The oval straights help to keep more rocks from kicking up. The wrap in bars let a few more fly by.

On the stainless steel topic. If that is important to you due to climate make sure you not only get SS bars, but make sure the mounting hardware is SS as well. Nasta bars have all SS components.

 

Thanks for your input. What about this brand? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...m=270250517854

 

get stainless or they will be rusted in a year. this is from experience. well,well worth the little extra money.
