The steps were back ordered. Nick from etrailer notified me and kept me updated on expected shipping date. They arrived ahead of projected date. As far as the steps, they are installed and look great. They are sturdy and very well made.
They've made it easier for the ladies in my life to enter and exit my vehicle easier
I finally installed the side steps that I bought from you guys. Check it out
I own a 1997 F250 crew cab truck. I got tired of wearing the driver seat down getting in and out without some type of step. I've always liked the "stirrup" style steps and was happy to stumble across your website. After seeing the actual product AND HARDWARE in the kit, I ordered immediately. The steps arrived several days later and I installed them that night. Very happy with the steps, shipping, and quality of the boxes they arrived in. Took me several minutes to get to the product as the boxes were secured so well. The hardware provided was perfect. I will order 2 more for my rear doors in the near future. Thank you!
Had to remove the rock slide to install which was no big deal, other then that installation was easy. Steps look great quality is great I really like that they don't stick out to far so I'm not hitting my shins. Will be adding some for rear doors soon.
The steps themselves are solid, and make getting in and out of our truck easier, esp. for older folks. I have a minor issue with the installation instructions, however. In the instructions, they state:
" 8. *REFER TO DIAGRAM “A” WIRE HARNESS. Remove the plastic cover that is holding the carpet down and move the wire harness out of the way before drilling out the hole for the next step as shown on the diagram. Do
this procedure for both sides of your vehicle, because the wire harness may be on either side."
There's insufficient space to move the wiring out of the way as the hole for the sheet metal screw ends up dead in the center of the channel , so I used a piece of angle iron slipped under the wiring to protect the harness while drilling the hole. Once I installed the screw, I realized that the sharp point of the screw would be rubbing against the harness, and would eventually cause a short. To prevent this, I slipped the extra 1/4" Nyloc nuts provided in the kit over the sharp end of the sheet metal screw as shown in the photo.
I realize that there's not much room to use another type of fastener and working around the harness is awkward, but I think the sheet metal screw should really be replaced with another fastener that doesn't present a hazard to the harness. A 1/4" Torx button head bolt inserted from the top would definitely be an improvement, for example.
I purchased "Carr" steps for our "new" 1989 Ford F150. The hardware supplied with the steps was excellent compared to some imported products. There were good instructions and everything fit. This will help by spouse get in and out safely and with a bit more dignity.
Solid and simple installation, the right parts nothing missing. They look good and so much easier on my knees.
I cannot believe how fast it got here. I am so happy with them and they are going to look amazing on my truck.
Easy to install,looks great!
Great company to work with. Fast delivery, quality product. Thank you.
Installed 5 months ago and so far so go od!
Twas an easy install using normal tools, drill, wrenches,etc. The item looks good and does the job very well!!
It looks just as I expected, and it seems to be easy to install. I have not installed it yet, so this is a best guess. In any case, I think it will do what I wanted and the cost makes it a best way to add a step. I didn't realize I would need to drill holes but that should be no problem.
Great fit. Still look good. Hardware could be a bit more durable. Zinc plating only lasts a couple months. I replaced with stainless. Good stuff though!!!
why are they called Nerf bars? none of my other Nerf stuff looks like that.....
Great product for the price. Fit nicely on my '99 Expedition. Pretty painless installation. Great functionality.
Simple ordering precise & quick. Nice Email response from etrailer. Easy instructions right out of the box & on to the truck. Easy in & easy out of the vehicle, nice & sturdy you cannot go wrong with a reputable name to back it up. I am a satisfied consumer.
The title says polished aluminum but the product I received was powder coated.
My order arrived in less than a week and it took about a hour or so to install. Instructions were clear and easy for most any fitment. For my Chevy it could not have been any easier. This truck is for my daughter who has spina bifada so it enables her to climb in easier. The steps look great and I'd highly recommend them and etrailer. I've used etrailer a few times now and will continue as they have quality parts at some of the best prices!

Haha, they definitely do not look like the nerf bullets left all over the house. To be clear, the steps are not considered a "nerf bar" or "running board" however we lump them into the same category since they provide a step on the side of a vehicle.
