Speaker 1: Today we're gonna be taking a look at the Westin PRO TRAXX Oval Nerf Bars, in the polished stainless steel.Now this is what our nerf bars are gonna look like installed on the truck. As you can see, really nice, clean appearance. Typically when we get a call from a customer requesting nerf bars it's one of two things; either they want a little bit of help getting in and out of the vehicle, or they wanna improve the appearance of the truck.Now, the nerf bar kit is gonna be a full cab length design, so not only are we getting the step here on on our driver's door, it's gonna give us an area for the rear passengers to step out and on. They've got the polished stainless steel look, and each end has been turned in to kinda follow the contours of the vehicle and give it a nice, clean look. Now unlike the older nerf bars that we're typically round, these are gonna be an oval, 5" wide, nerf bar; that's gonna give us a lot more surface area.Now the steps themselves are also 5" wide, as you can see there's a nice flat surface here. The raised texture is gonna prevent our foot slipping side to side even if they might be wet.
Now the steps are constructed of a UV resistant polymer, so unlike the older style bars we're not gonna have the fading, the cracking, or deterioration that we used to.Another additional improvement that I really appreciate on these nerf bars, as compared to older style, is that we no longer have the plastic cap that just sits in the end. They've completely sealed both ends here, that prevents moisture from getting inside, and we won't have that rusting from the inside out that we used to get.Now, another thing you're really gonna like about these nerf bars is, it's gonna come with all the hardware and brackets that you're gonna need to attach it to the truck. There's gonna be no drilling or modifications of the truck required.And to begin our installation, you wanna grab one of your brackets; you're gonna have six of them, they're all identical, so they're all gonna go the same position. And we if we come from the wheel well, we wanna look for the first little tab that stick out with a hole in it. We're gonna use one of our clip nuts, we'll slide that up and on there.
We've got our M8 bolt, the lock washer and flat washer, that's gonna thread into the weld nut on the back side of the body. Then we wanna take one of our flange nuts, it's got the lock washer on it, and that's gonna thread into the bottom part of the bracket. Now we'll do that same thing for the middle position as well.Now, for the rear mount location, we wanna come back, this would be the back edge of the cab, be the first tab with the hole in it in front of that. You can see a larger hole here, with this small hole. We use the larger hole to get our clip nut in place, same thing here for the bottom, then we'll use the same style fasteners for both of those locations.
Now we're gonna snug each one of these down without fully tightening it, we still want a little bit of play in our bracket. Now, our lower bolts are gonna use a 12 mm, the upper bolts use a 13 mm.Now we'll position our step right up on our brackets. There are two nut inserts on the bottom at each of our bracket locations; we wanna line those up with the two elongated holes in our bracket, then we can thread in one of our cap head M10 bolts, and that should have a serrated lock washer on it, and a flat washer at each location. We're gonna do that for the two holes at each bracket.With all six of those in place, we'll finish snugging down our bracket bolts. Now we'll torque those to the specifications listed in our instructions.
Now you'll just wanna adjust your step; you can see we've got a little bit of movement room in there. So it's level, then we'll tighten down those cap head bolts. For these we're gonna use a 6 mm. Now you also wanna torque those down to the specifications in your instructions. Now once you've got your passenger side taken care of and all torqued down, you just repeat that exact same process for the driver's side.Now, with everything torqued down properly, that completes our installation of the Westin PRO TRAXX Oval Nerf Bars, in the polished stainless steel.

These are a very sturdy, good quality product! I would like to see the placement of the black step portion changed. It needs to be moved back a little for the driver and front passenger. The black portion is too far forward, so when swinging out of the cab to step down, the left foot for the driver, and right foot for the passenger, hits at the back edge of the step. My husband actually hits behind the black step portion when getting out of my truck, scratching the stainless steel bars with his shoes or boots. I can't comment on the placement of the black portion for the back seat passengers, as I have not sat back there since putting the bars on.
Other than having a little problem getting one bolt started the nerf bars went on easy and look good. Shipping was real fast.

Great nerfs! Easy install and they look fine on my 19 Colorado. The price was right and etrailer under-promised and over delivers with fantastic shipping! I am 73 years old and had them install with no hoist in an hour and a half. Simple tools and follow the directions for a great install.

Installed one year ago on my 2015 Jeep Rubicon Wrangler Unlimited. Installation was simple, with the exception of one thing. To install the step you must permanently remove the "rock sliders" with leaves the bottom seam of the body exposed. The steps still look in newish condition, except for the color (now dark gray) which has caught up with all the black plastic on my Jeep, thanks to the AZ sun. The rubber tread can be slick when wet.

Looks good hopefully last long time. I like the fact that they fit closer to the cab over my old boards
John G - 02/06/2021Review from a similar PRO TRAXX in Nerf Bars - Running Boards
Great product. Only complaint is I own a 2020 Ram 3500 LoneStar. The rear brackets fit perfectly but the trucks mounting location was different from diagram. There is no opening to fish the brackets which came with bed connecting piece. Modification took about 30 minutes but done. The directions could be clearer for sure but as for etrailer and product itself great.

These bars are definitely functional, but they also look great! Installed on a 2019 Ford F150 XL/STX SuperCrew Cab. Instructions were fairly easy to follow.

Great running boards. They look great and well built. The directions provided by manufacture were horrible, but the etrailer videos were awesome at deciphering the directions. With the etrailer videos install was a breeze.

These fit my truck perfectly . Fairly easy installation. Just put them on today but seem to be of very good quality.
Chuck - 04/14/2020Review from a similar PRO TRAXX in Nerf Bars - Running Boards
The brackets on my 4runner are short causing the step to be as high as my 350 Super Duty. However the seat on the SD is 8 inches higher so it is comfortable to slide right in. On the 4runner it is necessary to duck under the door frame to contort into the seat. The quality and appearance are great - the design, not so much. I contacted Westin to inquire about longer brackets, but didn't get a reply. I'm stuck with a $xx.xx +/- bill from a custom fabrication shop.

The bars look great on the 2020 Chevrolet 2500HD. The install was very easy, just tightening bolts under the truck. Took a little over an hour to complete.
Review from a similar PRO TRAXX in Nerf Bars - Running Boards
Step tubes were easy to install , and have held up well to the north east winters so far! I’ve had 3” tubes in the past on previous trucks. These 5” are the way to go! The full length, from wheel to wheel, are the only ones I’ll buy. Great product!
Review from a similar PRO TRAXX in Nerf Bars - Running Boards
I am very happy with the nerf bars. The package was missing 2 lock washers but I had some that fit so it was not a huge issue. Installation was easy. I installed them in a couple of hours. They look great on my truck and make it much easier for my family to climb in and out. I have purchased other products from etrailer (a bike rack and a hitch basket) and they were fantastic also. In my opinion this is a good company with good products and service.
Review from a similar PRO TRAXX in Nerf Bars - Running Boards
When I received the running boards, the box looked like it was attacked by a grizzly. Luckily nothing was damaged inside. The instructions say that you need a 3/8" wrench, but a 3/8" does not fit, the smaller nut/bolt heads are actually 10mm. The polish around the foot pads looks like it was done by Ray Charles. That said, from a distance these running boards look great, especially if you have chrome bumpers and grille. The install was pretty easy. Now short people can get in and out of my truck with no problem.

Received shipment yesterday morning in excellent condition. Installed. The packing cardboard served as a excellent work surface on this rough gravel. All parts were available and went together easily. I found that drilling the recommended 1/2" hole in the frame is unnecessary for me. Looks good, very stable, very happy. Thanks etrailer.com.

It’s almost been a year since I installed these running boards on my 2008 GMC 2500HD. These boards are still working perfectly, still love them and would highly recommend these bars.
