Nerf Bars

[huntnfish]

Does anyone have a suggestion about which nerf bars to buy? I am going to get stainless but there are so many different brands out there and I don't want to have to replace them in a couple years. I have seen some on the interet that were only around $150 for stainless and came with a limited lifetime warranty but the limited part has me a little concerned. Are there any brands to stay away from? Thanks.

I put Westin Platinum Series on my new truck in 2004. They still look very nice. They are chrome plated stainless steel. I've seen several stainless steel bars that discolor over time. These haven't. Like most things, they aren't cheap but you get what you pay for. They are no drill installation and have a lifetime warranty.

I bought SS bars off of hsolist for around $150 for my last truck. I had them for 5 years and then sold the truck. They were still in good condition then. I think any SS bars are going to be good. I don't think I would worry too much about the warranty. That is my 2 cents.

The Westin SS bars I had were also very high quality. I had them on a truck I 4wheeled with and they took quite a few rock hits and never blinked. I was more concerned about my rocker panels.

I have Luverne SS. They are almost 10 years old and still look new.

Westin is a very good choice!

Another vote for Westin!

I'm sure the Westin SS bars are good. I was stupid and bought the powder coated black bars. Initially it looked really good on my black truck. Now those things are rusting away (6 years)

I bought SS bars from summit 5 years ago for I believe around $200 and they are still holding up great. I also had the black powder coated ones on my last truck and would not recommend those as they rust quickly.

Edit- Just checked to see if they still have them and bonus they are on sale for $140!!! (depending on model)

I have Luverne's on my pickup. I put them on new 5 years ago and they still look great! I don't think you could go wrong with either Luverne's or Westin's in my opinion.

Go with Luverne. They are closer and more local than the others. I have had some of the steps fall off, and they gave me replacements for free. I haven't seen a set of step bars yet that hasn't lost at least one of the plastic step pads. Mine have been on for 5 years and still look good. Make sure you go SS though, The black won't last 2 years unless you wash it every day in the winter.

Luverne also sells some good mud flaps.

Thanks for all the replies. I ordered a set of Westin SS today.
