Today on our 2011 Chevy Silverado, we'll be installing the Bully Bar Tube Steps part # NB-105. Before we begin installation, we'll go ahead and lay our parts out. We'll need to identify the front and rear or short and long brackets and then our center bracket. Because we're working with the 2006 and newer application, we'll be reusing the manufacturer's hardware. First we'll go ahead and remove the front cab corner body mount bolt and bushing. Now we're ready to install the front bracket.
Once again, this is our short bracket and the bolt will go through the bracket then through the bushing then reinstalled into the truck. Each fastener will be installed hand tight at this point. Next we'll remove the rear mounting bracket or rear cab mounting point. Again we'll remove the bolt. This will come with a large round spacer and bushing.
We'll take the bolts off, go through the rear bracket then go through the round spacer and bushing and reinstall it back into the truck. Next we'll move to the center attachment point or center mounting bracket. We'll remove the bolt and bushing. Our bolt will go through the bracket then we're going to add two ring spacers with the bushing on top and reinstall the bolt. Next, I need to identify which tube step is for the driver or passenger side.
The easiest way to do this is to go ahead and lining your tube step up with the front and rear brackets and then make sure that the center attachment point for the tube step lines up with the center bracket. If it does not, this is most likely for the passenger side as the holes are offset for driver to passenger side. Now we're ready to go ahead and attach our tube step. Using the 1/2 inch hardware provided, we'll take the two-inch bolt, 1/2 inch lock washer and 1/2 inch flat washer and go through the bracket into the threaded end of our tube step. Once again, our hardware will be hand tight at this time.
Next, we will move to the rear bracket and repeat the same process. To attach our center bracket we'll be using a 3/8 bolt, lock washer and flat washer, going through the bracket into the weld nut in the tube step. Now with all the hardware installed, we're ready to go ahead and tighten and thwart specifications as indicated in the instructions. Next we'll go ahead and repeat the same process on the passenger side. And with both sides done, that will now complete our installation of the Bully Bar tube steps part # NB-105 on our 2011 Chevy Silverado.
Pilot Tube Step Installation - 2010 Chevrolet Silverado
Today on this 2010 Chevy Silverado, were gonna install part number NB-109 from Pilot.Our attachment points are on the body bolts on this vehicle and there are three of them as theyre shown here.Next step is well go ahead and layout our parts. We have a short bracket that goes on the front and then the long bracket that stays in the center and then a tall bracket that goes in the back.So well go ahead and loosen up the body bolts. You want to do this by hand first because some of the models have a thread locker on there and an air ratchet could break the nut inside the body. When we take the bolts out, you wanna prepare the stock bolts to the bolts that come with the kit. Some models have a thicker bolt. If thats the case, go ahead and use the factory bolts.
Westin Tube Step Installation - 2010 Chevrolet Silverado 2500
Today on this 2010 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 Series HD regular cab we are going to be installing Westin nerf bar part number 23-1400. We are looking at the driver side of the vehicle and the first thing we want to do is locate the body mount, the front and rear. The front body mount is located just rear of the front tire. If you follow rearward just about even with the edge of the door just below it is our rear body mount and that is what we are going to be attaching our nerf bar set up to. With those located we are going to start with the front body mount and what we want to do is remove the existing bolt. You can see that it is likely that the rubber bushing is going to come down as well and that is fine. We want to take that and set it off to the side for the time being and remove the rear body mount bolt. 00:55

The first thing we are going to do is we are going to want to remove the forward, center, and rear most body mount bolts. That is where our tube steps are actually going to mount. The first thing we are going to do is remove the bolts. Now that we have got our bolts removed I am going to show you on the brackets themselves that they are actually marked per side and which location they go in. This one says PF so it is going to be Passenger Front. Then the center bracket is going to be the longer one. In the center of it, it is going to say PC for Passenger Center. Then on the rear bracket which is the medium size one is going to be marked with the letters PR for Passenger Rear.

Pilot Automotive Nerf Bar Installation - 2001 Chevy Silverado 1500
Today, on this 2001 Chevy Silverado 1500 series regular cab, we will be installing the Bully Nerf Bars part number NB-103. Just rearward of the front tire here, we have the forward body mounting bracket here. As you can see we have a bolt in there. We are going to be taking that bolt out, putting in new hardware. And that is going to provide our forward attaching point for our Nerf Bar. And you will notice that the bushing is coming out as well, with the bolt. And that is okay, but we are going to be putting this bushing back up into place when we get our brackets set up. If we go a little bit further back, just about even with the edge of the door, we have a second body mounting bracket, again with the same bolt. Again, we are going to remove this one as well and get the new bracket and hardware in place as well. 0:52

Go ahead and locate three body mounting bolts that are located underneath the cab of the vehicle. You can see we have got one here to the front, one in the middle, and one towards the rear. We need to go ahead and remove the body mounting bolts out of these body mounts. And you will notice that maybe the rubber spacer might be coming out here with the bolt and that is okay. We will reinstall that once we put the brackets up. :40
