Slick Nerf Bars

Has anyone slipped on their nerf bar steps when they're wet? I'm talking about the hard plastic steps below each door opening found on some bars. If so, got any ideas to minimize this embarrassing and dangerous situation?

 

You could bed line them or get some grip tape like they use on skateboards and stick that on lol

board tape 9sand paper lined with sticky backing

 

just beat me

 

Hhaha like minds think alike

 

Well since its being brought up where are you guys getting the grip tape at? I've almost busted my ass twice now on my sliders.

 

Go to a skate shop or order it off eBay

 

dunno, sorry.......I never use sliders as steps.

Look for a skate shop?

 

It's a lot cheaper to get grip tape at a dealership that sells/services transport trucks cause they use rolls of that stuff on the steps and other slippery spots behind the cab. I made 4 door sill protectors for $2.10..

 

Marine/Boating shops have non-skid tape you could use. You can find different colors from a marine supply. Search non-slip tape and non-skid tape to see all sources.

 

Not on sidesteps but on my door sills I used a rubber step pad material that came on a roll. Maybe look into rubber pads made for ladders, that was my other option but they were too thick.

For reference.

 

Some good ideas. Thanks!

 

Better idea. Take the nerf bars off

 

I like this idea.

 

Nerf bars are "okay" at protecting your truck from door dings and that is about it. They offer no other type of protection. Sliders offer much better protection and look much better IMO. Nerf bars are just plain ugly in my opinion.
