My stock nerf bars are half a$$ rock-sliders =]

Not good for much anything else. When I first got the truck I use to get tangled up in those damn things trying to hop in the truck. They'll come off as soon as I have a pair of bonified rock sliders.

And the rock sliders that were once available are no longer on the Jusnes Modified site????

I don't think so.

Trigger01 05-25-2006 11:59 AM

I have never been a fan of that style so... Ditch 'em!

Mr. Special 05-25-2006 12:02 PM

i cant believe i am saying this but they dont look too bad Justin. But with thyat said, Take them off.. **** running boards, so teh ghey

RangerJustin 05-25-2006 12:28 PM

my reason for keeping them is... yes...they are half ass rock sliders...and they keep my black/silver theme goin...but they also affect ground clearance (very lil and i doubt that i would need that much...but one never knows...)

fx4me 05-25-2006 12:30 PM

Keep 'em. The chrome fits in.

jtslmn720 05-25-2006 12:41 PM

for some reason i love the look of step bars like that...

FMD 05-25-2006 01:11 PM

Me personally, I dont like THAT particular desing for step bars. their a squashed tube... I like the full circle bars. now, I havent looked OVERLY closely, but are they a full tube, or did ford go ultra cheap and cut the bottom off so their open on the bottom? Anyways If i had a choice between take em off, black ones or chrome, i pick chrome. but then again, u could take em off, and make a cpl hundred by selling them on ebay- but if you do decide to go that route, be sure to post that they will only either a door or a 4 door cause the brakets are different.

I say take them off and sell them to me. I like step bars.

Red_Ak_Ranger 05-25-2006 04:12 PM

Ugly. Get real rock sliders. You arent lifted enough to even need a stepbar.

they look pretty good.
I keep mine on only to stop the rocks and stuff from hitting the body of my truck...its been used for a rock slider as well, and my passanger one is going to fall off soon...prob one of the next time someone steps on it.

telemaster1952 05-25-2006 05:24 PM

needs to be higher for a step bar

gatorblue92 05-25-2006 05:43 PM

i say keep em... im keeping mine till i get rock sliders

RangerJustin 05-30-2006 09:56 AM

well majority by one vote says to keep them so....I have decided to keep them on...sorry to 01xltranger4x4 who is looking for some chrome running boards...

Red_Ak_Ranger 05-30-2006 11:29 AM

Laaame. Overpriced pieces of junk that should be on a big vehcle.

Unless you're a midget, then maybe they're useful.

Yay! Good man! They make the truck look lower in my opinon!

And ALSO, if you're using em as rocksliders you're offroading wrong. Ironically they cost as much as rocksliders!

pastfinder 05-30-2006 03:02 PM

Mine came out of a JY and I sanded and repainted them. I added them to help my girlfriend get in and out of the truck easier. I don't personally use them, but if it helps my lady, then they are worth keeping :)

meemooer 05-30-2006 09:12 PM

i like them. they look like a nice way to protect the rockers from road debris.
I actually use my bars. well, everyone else uses the passenger side more then i use the drivers side. I find them useful when washing, wearing dress clothes, not really wanting to step in mud/water when not offroading or when i am offroading, i use them as rock sliders, or a way to not go knee deep if i have to get out when stuck.
