Westin Outlaw Nerf Bars with Drop Steps - Textured Black Steel

Video Transcript for A Closer Look at the Westin Outlaw Textured Black Steel Nerf Bars with Drop Steps

How are we doing today, neighbors Ian with etrailer here. Excited to get into a deeper dive here on the Westin Outlaw Drop Nerf Bars. These do feature a wonderful four-inch drop. Let's go over a couple reasons you may want nerf bars. One main reason you may be looking at nerf bars regardless of whether you've got a lift like our neighbor here does, or if you've got some oversized tires that just bring that vehicle a little too high for you to be able to step in. These four-inch drops, in my opinion, are gonna be perfect to get you up in that vehicle safely, nice and comfortably without having any contact with the vehicle causing premature wear.

And while we're hopping up, I did wanna look at the raised pattern that's cut into these steps. It's gonna be great when you are dealing with any inclement weather, be that rain, ice, sleet, those type of things that could cause those bars to get a little bit too slick as you're getting out and maybe miss your footing. With that raised pattern, you'll find that is not an issue. Another great reason you might want these nerf bars is with that four-inch drop, it's gonna give me really good height to be able to still access everything up here on the roof, plus a nice, stable platform to stand on where I wouldn't slip. Again, if you had ice or any type of moisture on these, you're not gonna have to worry about your foot coming off while you're loading things onto the roof rack.

These bars are gonna be made out of a strong steel that does include an electrostatic base coat, which is gonna help withstand any type of wear over time. Even if this nice blacked matte powdercoat finish is ever scratched, it's still got that coating underneath to help extend the life. Now when it comes to nerf bars and running boards in general, I've installed quite a few at this point and these probably have to be my favorite as far as drop bars. I think the four-inch is more than enough for this vehicle. And even with the lift that it has, it's got us at a good height.

I will say that the running boards always have a tendency to sit a little too far into the vehicle to make it just that much harder to be able to get your foot into place. But since these come out away from the vehicle, makes it very easy to step onto compared to some of the other running boards or drop bar options. Now the install on this is extremely easy in comparison to some of the other nerf bars. It's all a bolt-on kit and can be done in your driveway and maybe an hour at most. As long as you're okay with getting under the vehicle, you won't have to lift it up.

So that's another plus as well. Not everybody's got the ability to get the vehicle in the air, so these can be done on the ground. And we've got a great video of how to install those if you want to check that out. And while we're talking about our website, we've got this on our fellow installer, Jake's 2013 Ram 2500. But make sure you use our fit guide there on the website to double check that this will fit your specific vehicle. And in conclusion, whether you just need a good, sturdy way to get up into the vehicle or a great platform to access your roof rack, this is going to be what I would put on my personal vehicle and absolutely looks great on Jake's truck here. I would recommend this Westin Outlaw Drop Nerf Bar to anybody that needs something that's going to give him a good four-inch drop and a sturdy platform, also just looks amazing on the vehicle. And that's gonna be our look at for the Westin Outlaw Drop Nerf Bars. My name's Ian with etrailer. Really appreciate you watching.
