Just installed my Raptor (?) nerf bars!

CoachBoone · 01-13-2005, 08:32 AM

Got them from dealsofsteel.....kind of took a chance, not knowing the company, but after reading their specs I couldn't really see a difference between them and say, Westin or anyone else. They're polished, 16 gauge SS, and the brackets are big and beefy and they were easy as hell to install. I need to join the 21st century and get a digital cam so I can start posting pics of my beast, she really is a beaut, 'specially now!

Not bad at all....Do you think they will stick out far enough to prevent door dings?

Funny you should ask. About a month ago a gal scraped my passenger side body mouldings in my daughter's school parking lot, dented both doors too. Me and coach jr. were talking about how nerfs might have taken the brunt and spared the doors. They extend from the bottom of the doors about 3 or 4"....damn they are sweet, man!

Coach, that's the main reason I put the step rails[nerf bars] on my truck, it does help in the door ding department for sure. Also people won't park so darn close to ya either cause they can't open their door.
Hurry up and get a digital camera so we can see the beast, will ya.

My wife would intercept it and put it towards our retirement. She's got Jewish in her blood. If that offends anyone, bite me.

How did you get her to let you buy a new truck?

Did you tie her up that day?
