    Looking for Nerf Bars for my truck, anyone know if they are sold locally?
    I've checked all the chain stores like Pep Boys, Salvo, etc. and I can order them online, but I don't want to go that route if I can help it.
    Thanks!

    If it happens to be an old ford ranger, I have *two* sets in my garage you can have. Used, but more than serviceable. Maybe they'll fit more than one model?

    I ordered mine for the new truck from Amazon. Prime membership, free overnight shipping. It took a little searching and filtering to find the right ones.

    Installation was easy, bolt on the brackets then the bars to the brackets. All hardware was included.

    Look into getting rock sliders instead of a nerf bar.

    A nerf bar attaches to brackets hanging off of the body of the truck. Rock sliders bolt on to the frame. If you hit a curb or something the nerf bar can cause the body to buckle. Rock sliders are much stronger and won't damage the body if hit.

    Whichever you choose, get some that stick out farther than your door panels. That way they act as guards in parking lots and will protect you against door dings. Whenever I see a vehicle parked close to my FJ I like to look at their door and more often then not I see a ding in their door where they opened it up hard into my rock sliders. (It's the little things in life)

    I want to build a set like this for mine.
    I crushed the step on my truck one when it was almost new and was lucky it didn't damage anything.

    My nerf bars came from Amazon also. I got them when CINCHOUSE announced she needed a step to get into the Blazer. Bolt the brackets to the frame; then bolt the bars to the brackets. Easy to do, and not overly expensive.

    Don't know if the OP found any, since he hasn't replied back, but my son just removed his the other day, from his 2012 crew cab, short bed Ram 1500.

    They are DODGE items, made by someone else, I'm sure, and say "RAM" on them...black, aluminum with all hardware, brackets, etc...

    He said new they sell for $450, but he'll take $200 or best offer...

    He works night shift, and I told him to send me a couple fresh pics when he gets home this morning.
    I attached a couple pics of existing pics of the actual truck with the actual bars on it...
