I am thinking about some powder coated nerf bars for my truck, i was wondering what brands you are all using and how is the powder coat holding up? I am looking at a set of go rhino wheel to wheel nerf bars for my reg cab long box anyone currently have a set on there truck?

I have some Grizzly double bends, and like them a lot. The powder coating has a few chips, but my driveway is all mine rock, and i have some tires that love to throw stones.

I have Westin powder coated stainless ones on mine and so far this is the 3rd year with no issues (at least I'm pretty sure they are, I'll have to look when I get back to my truck). The powder coating of the stainless was new at the time I bought mine since they were working on the process to get the SS to take powder coat but no problems to date.

I would stay away from anything NOT stainless steel. It just isn't worth the few bucks you might save going in, down the road your stainless bars will still look and perform like new. The same can not be said for the powder coated Nerf bars, the environment is just to harsh for anything but SS. Powder coating is a great way to cover steel, but exposed daily to rocks, salt and water, they will not last or look good after just a short time on the truck. I would save till I had enough for SS. I have had 5 trucks since 1990, and 3 of them sported Nerf bars, one went through 3 sets in two years. I found out pretty quickly that stainless steel is a one time purchase. I have had very good luck with Weston signature series SS bars, and Putco boss bars.

Go with Westin Platinum series, you won't be disappointed!

I have Westin also mine are black they are doing pretty good



NOTE: make sure the type you get attaches to the bottom of the body blocks and not to the cab. connecting to the cab is a time bomb.
