N Fab nerf bars

I have a 2010 crew fx4 white. I want to put steps of some sort on my truck. Since I have the FX4 I wanted to stay away from chrome steps. I am leaning towards the NFab cab length or wheel to wheel in black. Does anybody have any experience with these? Pictures? Pros? Cons? Or any other suggestions for a nice looking black step. Thank you

I have them the only con is the tubes are open to the elements. I plan to fill the ends with spray foam, then trim and paint the foam. Let me see if I can find a pic.

Have any visual aids to illustrate this for me? From all the pics I've seen, I haven't noticed any openings. If that's your truck in the pic, she's a beauty!

Thanks, that's mine. The tubes are hollow with open ends. Sorry, no pics.

adamsre, nice looking truck and thanks for the info! Steps look great on there. The open ends do concern me a bit. Probablly wouldn't be to hard to cap them and repaint the ends to seal them up. The road salt and snow getting in there doesn't sound good.

One more question: installation. Any drilling required? Easy to do?

Thanks a lot, and awesome looking truck!

Very easy to do with two people. The directions leave out a step or two so I put them on twice. It doesn't tell you where to put the clips but I figured it out. You do have the option of drilling one hole on each side or not. I chose to just use the 5 bolts instead of 6 so I would not have to drill. It is plenty sturdy (I weigh 220) and holds me fine!
