Nerf Bars what brand do you have.

I have a white TRD like you. I put on Steelcraft 5" oval polished nerf bars. I think the polished looks great on the white truck. Mind you I don't off road and I grew up in the muscle car chrome era. I live where they pour on the salt and chemicals because of snow and ice 8 months of the year. They look brand new after a year. I had polished bars on another truck and they had no rust or pitting after 5 years.

 

I really like the ICI Magnum RT steps but they aren't available for the Tacoma's. I emailed ICI and they replied they are about 45 days from releasing product for the crew cab version. Just FYI. Here's what they look like:

 

Even tho these are powered coated I think you should stay away from this brand.

 

I installed the Toyota chrome tube steps. Easy install and they look great. I got them mainly for looks and door ding protection.

 

i live in northeast pa. had them on for 4 months, rusted and paint coming off,, brotherlaw has factory step tubes on his gmc for 3 years, still look like new. brackets have held up with no rust or any thing,,. why cant aftermarket products do the same,, NFAB SUCKS.. WILL NEVER BUY ANYTHING NFAB RELATED,,, MAYBE IF YOU LIVE IN A STATE WHERE IT NEVER RAINS OF KEEP YOUR TRUCK IN THE GARAGE THEY MIGHT BE OK,, and they dont stand behind there warranty either.

 

Thanks for the input, Not sure which brand I will be buying. I also live in Pa.

 

I was just talking to a salesman at Runningboardwarehouse.com today about nerf bars and he said the NFab bars are there most popular and biggest selling bars. I questioned him about the rusting on theme and he claims they will stand behind them. Depending on any damage if there is rust issue.

 

Look good where did you buy yours?

 

i also have the N-fab 3" textured black. so far no rust and they have been on for roughly 4 months. but here comes old man winter in pennsylvania so ill have to see how they hold up after that.

 

Living in snow country I needed a product that didn't rust from all the salt we use on our roads. I bought the N-Fab stainless nerf bars for $410.71 w/free shipping on Amazon. (P/N NFBT0678CC-SS)

 

I thought the N fab bars came with caps to put in the end. I read on T/W some where.

 

Mine came with black plastic end caps.

 

My 3" black bars did not come with end caps But that didn't make a difference. They rusted from the outside!
Don't worry N Fab won't honor the warranty if you have any problems!

 

I have seen these available on real truck.com. I will most likely be ordering them for my DCLB. They really do have the best look. Here's the link. http://www.realtruck.com/ici-magnum-rt-steps/R184321P2013Y608MA.html

 

@crashngiggles Did you end up getting these, and if so can you post a picture of them?

 

@AuburnTacomaTRD not yet but most likely will be going on the summer after my lift goes on...

 

@crashngiggles Cool man, I havent seen anyone here that has them yet, but I will be getting them after tax season. lol so if I happen to get them before you get your lift, I will post up some pics of how they look. They look the most rugged and add to the off road appeal.

 

I have the Rhino D2's in chrome, and like them. Lifetime warranty on finish, looked great out of the box and still do. $500

 

@3coma would you mind posting a picture of it in chat?

 

I think the main reason that I haven't bought them yet is because I believe that they are coming out with a dclb version and I didn't want to settle for the short bed.
