Looking at buying a set of step bars and was wondering if one brand was better than the other or what i should look for as far as quality or the way they are mounted? Thanks Edited by: Dmaxin

My friends ICP's look like sh*t......... sprintmod1 02-20-2004, 12:27 PM Love the chrome plated stainless Westins and they hold up well to the bad weather and since I am about 250 lbs, they don't move when I step on them to get in!! http://dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Clap.gifhttp://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Big Smile.gif CMC-GMC 02-20-2004, 01:54 PM I love my black Westins. Moved them over from my 02 to my 04. Held up very well. I paid around $170 out the door. cmc Dmaxin 02-20-2004, 03:15 PM Do they all typically mount the same way?

LARSONEM 02-20-2004, 10:15 PM I've got the GM bars - chromed stainless steel. They are expensive aftermarket across the GM parts counter unless you can get an inside deal on them. They are a better buy if they come on the truck from the factory. What I like about them is they have a single step pad that runs the length of the bar as opposed to two individual steps like on the Westin bars.

I need to get something soon! http://www.n-fab.com/ http://www.kodiaksidewinder.com maynard9089 02-21-2004, 09:21 AM My truck now has the Westin's and they have been great. My new truck will be getting the GM installed bars though. I got the GMS price on them and they are covered by the 3yr/36K warranty. If I were buying aftermarket again though I would probably go with the Westin's because they have been good to me. Smittybuilts are nice too but a little more cash. dieselman 02-21-2004, 10:11 AM I love the Westin Oval steps. No damage to black powdercoat from road salt, sand, gravel, etc. Yeah, I know the sig says TN, but I go lots of other places. tanner 02-21-2004, 05:02 PM I have regular oval nerf bars. My uncle has the n-fab... I like them both n-fabs are pretty pricy, but they are cool. Also I have the nerf bars that extend wheel to wheel with a step pad to access my tool box in the bed of my truck.. Thats a very nice thing also.
