Nerf Bar Install Tomorrow!

These babies are going on tomorrow, anything I should keep an eye out for before I install them? Never done it before. Do you all think I should take "how to" pics and post them? Wish me luck!

 

They bolt under into the body. If you are man enough you can hold it up and bolt it in yourself. There may be plugs in the bolt holes, I forgot since I had mine..

 

sounds like a challenge... I'll let you know if all my teeth are intact in 24 hours

 

Great choice! Very easy install.

 

You'll probably find plastic plugs in the bolt holes. I recently installed N-Fab Rock Rails recently. Took my about 45 minutes to do both sides.

 

I put the exact same set on 6 months ago and it's dirt easy.

 

I put the same set on also. One small tip that really makes it a lot easier to install them. Even though the holes have plugs in them, the bolts in mine were tough to get in. I went and bought a correct thread size tap, and chased all the holes before bolting them on. With some oil on the tap to lubricate the threads, it made the job a bunch easier and no chance of breaking a bolt off.

 

What make are the op's?

 

Put these on my 2010, super easy, a spare set of hands to hold the step bar while you ratchet them in is a plus.

 

They are Rhino Dominator II nerf bars, look good so far and I haven't read much bad on them!

 

thanks for the replies everyone, it's good to know they go on easy!

 

Those look exactly like NFabs. If you are doing it solo then I recommend having one end held up with a jack stand while you are holding and bolting the other end. Makes it a lot easier.
I also rattlecanned mine with rustoleum bedliner for extra traction, protection, and hated the factory gloss look.

 

nice, that's a good look! I will probably have my wife hold up one end just to be safe

 

I have the nfab wheel to wheel bars. Basically the same thing and they are super easy to install. did it myself on the ground held up one end with my knee and started bolts. Just remove the plastic hole caps on the truck and good to go.

 

Like someone else said get a tap and some never sieze to clean up the mounting holes. Ya never know you may want to take em off some day. I did mine this way and it was worth the extra time.

 

They are very easy and quick to install. I would put some "Blue" Locktite on all the threads.

 

They are kinda heavy to install yourself, I laid under the truck and used my legs to hold up the other end. Started the bolts on each end then the middle then adjusted it into position and tightened them down. Be careful not to over tighten, easy to do. I snapped off one of the bolts on the front.

Mine are the stainless steel set of Dominator II. I installed mine at the end of summer and actually have them for sale now to get a OEM raptor style, wife changed her mind on what she wants.

 

This is how I did mine. Not difficult at all for one person if you know how to improvise.

 

Done, I read the locktight ideas after the install so.. next time It went pretty well, had my wife hold the other end so that went smoothly other than the cold complaints lol. Here it is

 

Looks good! I have the stainless N-Fabs and really like them.
