Frequently Asked Questions

Nerf bars are metal bars that mount to a vehicle’s frame for ease of entry. They often include a texturized plastic or rubber step section for added traction alongside the vehicle. Typically, nerf bars are constructed from durable tubular steel, roughly three to five inches in diameter. From chrome to stainless to black powder finish, there are a variety of coatings to choose from. You can let the finish pop against that of your vehicle or get it paint-matched to the body for a seamless look. Nerf bars can be some of the best side steps for trucks and Jeeps, depending on what you value.

Nerf bars usually hang lower to the ground and have a vertical drop. This makes them the easy, low-effort choice for vehicle exit and entry. If you want easier access to your cab and superior vehicle protection, Westin Nerf Bars are known for their balance of durability and functionality. These are great for people who don’t want to feel like they’re scaling a mountain every time they enter their vehicle.

Yes. Rubber treads can break or fall off, but rather than having to replace the entire Nerf bar, you can simply replace the treads. Many models offer bolt-on, no-drill installation, and easy replacements, such as Go Rhino Nerf Bars. Replacing parts rather than the whole can save you time and money in the long run while minimizing worry about perfectly preserving steps.

Nerf bars leave a space between the step and the vehicle body, allowing debris, rocks, and mud to filter out. The looser particles can stay, the less likely they are to get lodged and build up as a result. Less debris means less maintenance and replacements to install on your truck side steps. Consider something like Dee Zee 3” Nerf Bars for optimal debris filtration. Complete with a choice of stainless steel or mild powder-coated steel and molded plastic step pads, Dee Zee 3” Nerf Bars provide a comfortable and safe non-skid step area.

The next perk provided by Nerf bars is a barrier to your vehicle’s rockers- this helps protect them and prevent damage. N-Fab Nerf Bars are known for their durability and longevity. Users have reported steady use of them for several years with minimal wear and tear. Off-road freely, and don’t worry about fragile accessories- these side steps can handle it!
