Hi. Does anyone have a walkthrough posted on how to bolt on my new nerf bars? I bought the $159 deals of steel ebay type. I plan on putting them on when I get off work today. Any tips would be appreciated. Thanks TS. Ben

its not really that tough. You may need a second person to hold them in place while you bolt them in. I did it solo. You just need to bolt it in. Not really complicated. I did lay a carpet down to lay on and to not scratch the tubes.

thx for the reply. do you have to unbolt nuts from the frame first? how long did it take you to do solo?

No unbolting. It took me around an hour. Just make sure to screw them on loose first, get them all on, then torque up. I do remember that you sort of had to figure out where to place th screws, because their are a few screw locations.
good luck.

I just bought Westin step bars, and they are very easy to install. If the ones you purchased didn't come with instructins go to www.westin.com and look up the step bars for the Tundra part number 25-1500. They have a PDF of the instructions.

From your pics it looks like you got the nerfs installed. They look great and sound like a great deal. Im thinking of getting some. Can you describe or take pics of which mounting holes they install on? I have a regcab and want longer access cab nerfs on my truck, but not sure if they will fit. I have pics of my truck in my photos, maybe you can tell me if the holes look the same. Thanks

Check out www.westin.com for part number 25-1500. The PDF also has a picture of the frame.
