Best Nerf Bars

[Chris N5CWM]

Westin makes a nice product

I just installed a set of Westin nerf bars, part number 25-1245.

They came via UPS, and even though the box was partially open

none of the hardware was missing thanks to Westin putting it

all in plastic bags, and packaging it in a cardboard box inside the

shipping box. The bars themselves are wrapped in plastic and

have cardboard keepers to prevent banging around during

shipment. There was not a single chip on anything.



Installation was straightforward, and I was able to easily do the

install by myself. The only thing about the install was the need to

drill a starter hole for each support bracket, in leu of the directions

claiming the bolts supplied were "self-tapping", maybe into

plastic but not the sheet stell cab mount support!

Each end of the bar bolts to a support bracket, heavy steel that

is black power-coated. The bracket is then bolted to one of the

cab-to-frame mounts, and Westin supplies a longer bolt in the kit

for this as well.



I took some digital pictures and uploaded them to the Readers' Rigs site.

Identical Installation !

Chris,

The install is identical to the Go Rhino bars. They said to drill a starter hole for those Self Tapping Bolts. It was still a bear. The only person who could start them without a starter hole is the same guy who installed my original oil filter.
