one has some chrome chipping from the bottom, maybe if it gets worse i'll get it rechromed somtime down the road. you cant really notice it the way it is. i figured for the price its awsome.

nope all lined up perfectly. removed the stock boards. lifted the step bars in place and bolted them on. they use less bolts/mouting points then the stock black ones so you'll have extra unused screws/clips.

I have thought about this also, but my father-in-law has the nerf bar steps on his F-350 and in the winter the snow and slush builds up between the bar and rocker panel making the step virtually useless, especially when the slush freezed into a huge chunk of ice. It sure does look better tho!

Looks good, love the color of your truck
I want to get some serious nerf bars that I can use in case I ever have to punt somebody out of my way w them
Might have some solid tubes made to bolt directly to frame

funny you mention snow...we got about 4" today and ofcourse it built up on them. but luckly the excusion spends its nights in a nice warm garage so any ice/snow that gets on her during the day melts off.
she is slightly lifted, 3" over stock anyhow.
thanks for the compliments! i'll try to get a few better pics once it drys out an stops snowing.
