    I'm looking at replacing my running boards with some n-fab or smittybuilt nerf bars. All the reviews i have read about them have been good. I am not sure which brand to get or a 2" or 3" bar. Also is the powder coat worth the extra money.. i want them to hold up.

    Before owning my taco I had a wrangler that was a weekend toy. Most of the smittybuilt accessories for the Jeeps were inferior quality. I had poor experience with their products and have stayed away ever since. Good luck with whatever you decide!!

    Rock Sliders! They will look awesome and serve a much better purpose.

    I have the N-Fab 3" and I think they look much better than the 2". There is a big gap between the 2" bar and body and just doesnt look right in my opinion.
    The powder coats seems top notch, but everything eventually fades down here in the Texas sun.

    I had the 2 inch. Looked fine to me. Got them through Truck Customizers for $290 w/ free shipping. I have sliders now, but these were nice.

    I did 5100's and a AAL last night... Now I am going to have to go with some type of step bar because wifey can barely get in it now.. Your N-Fabs look good

    Nice LMB C6 as well... I had an 07 LMB Z06, best color offered during the C6 run... Which ends today BTW. RIP!

    Are you on Corvette Forum? I'm OH Three Z over there.

    I just ordered these...2" N-Fab

    If you sign up for their email you get a 10% off code. Total shipped was like 270 ish. When I entered the code it didn't take my 10% off so I sent an email and got a reply back saying that product wasn't eligible for the 10%. Then I called and the lady I talked to said she'd change it when the order went through. Checked my credit card statement and the price had been reduced.
