Nerf Bars – Style and Function

]]> Enthusiasts drive the automotive industry and making a truck look good requires a few necessary items.  Customizing a truck can be tricky, when getting started, but one thing that you must have are either running boards or nerf bars.  I personally enjoy the looks and function of nerf bars far more than running boards and typically a nerf bar will be more fitting on a 4x4 truck and hold up better when going off road.

Nerf bars are the round metal bars that you see along the bottom of a truck, generally the same length as the doors.  They provide function, by allowing a step for people to use when entering tall trucks or to be used simply for convenience and comfort.  To some extent a nerf bar will also protect the bottom of the doors or floor board in the case you were to bottom out.

As far as style, there are plenty of different flavors of nerf bars to choose from and just as many manufacturers and quality difference.  In past trucks owned I always went with the painted black nerf bars, because frankly the chrome or aluminum ones were just a little too flashy for me.  Nerf bars also vary in price, from as little as $180 up to $1,100, length can have a great impact on the price of nerf bars.  Therefore having 4 doors on a truck will increase the price of a nerf bar, so dont' get shocked when you start shopping and see all the differences.
