Hi everyone, Stephen here with etrailer. Let's take a look at our car custom fit Side Steps. Now folks, these are considered a super hoop style and they are in a polished aluminum construction and they're gonna give you a 17 inch wide step area in between the main units. Now these are custom fit, so make sure you're checking out the fit guide over here at etrailer.com. From what I can find, these fit roughly early 80s to late 90s, the older Ford trucks and Broncos, different ones, so make sure you're checking out that fit guide again to be sure you're getting the right ones. Now in this video I do have the set of two on the table just so you can see what they look like in a set of two.
We do offer these just as one single, and I'll put those item numbers up there on the screen for you. So if you're just looking for one, maybe you just need a replacement, maybe you just want one on the one side, you're not worried about the passenger, you can just get one. So totally up to you. Just know that what I have here on the table again is all the hardware for both steps. So obviously if you're getting just one, you're gonna get the brackets and everything I have here and probably half of the nuts and bolts that are provided in this kit.
So again, these are very stylish. They're gonna let you get in outta your vehicle with ease. They do have a very nice, large textured but flat step area and once again that's 17 inches of usable space on the inside. These are about a six inch drop whenever they're installed, depending on what you put your angle at. And overall outside to outside, I got roughly 20 inches wide.
These are also rated an impressive 500 pounds capacity and these are gonna be again made of cast aluminum. They do have a nice kind of polished finish on 'em, so they have a little sheen or shine to 'em, which I kinda like. You don't have to worry about these rusting out, cracking, anything like that. That finish is really, really tough and strong. It's not gonna peel on you, it's not gonna rust or scratch or anything anytime soon.
And these do mount to your rocker panels using the bracket systems and again, that hardware that's included. So again, whether you need one or two, these are the car custom fit Side Steps. I'm Stephen with etrailer. Thanks for watching and have a great day.
Ratings & Reviews
My 4x4 truck sits fairly high and these steps are just the ticket. Installation could not be easier. Drill four holes on the back of each rocker and bolt them on. The mounting brackets are plated and heavy guage. You will be supplied with more than enough hardware for installation. Included instructions are clear and concise, but really, this job doesn't require a degree in engineering!
Easy to follow instructions. Nice looking. Easy to install with basic tools. I think the manufacture could have come up with a more solid mounting option. The brackets are bolted to the vehicle rocker panel at two points. The lower point is on the pinch weld. There is very little material at this location and it gets the most abuse from the environment, especially salt related corrosion. With time, this area will be compromised. The upper attachment point is with a sheet metal screw in the back of the rocker panel. A very weak attachment. I imaging many step bars use similar mounting.
We have ordered 3 items from ETrailer, a Spare tire carrier, a 60" ladder, and a set of running boards all for our camper. We were able to install all products, and very happy with them. Oh, by the way, I am legally blind and with a little help from my wife we were very proud each time we completed an installation. The customer service was excellent, and delivery was quick.
We Thank you very much,

Very well made and easy to install I used 1/4 self drilling screws instead of the ones provided. I just held the step up and ran those screws in and had everything held in place to drill the holes for the bolts. Made in the U.S.A. !!!
Easy to order, shipped quickly.
Classic, elegant, and high-quality product. etrailer's shipping and website top notch! I highly recommend it!
I installed these on my full sized '90 Bronco. They are great. Very sturdy. Long enough for the person in the back to get in and out of
Great company to deal with. Good price. Fast shipping. Well packaged. Great communication each step of the process. Carr steps are first quality. Already have my eye on a few more things w/ etrailer.
Amazing to order from somewhere new that had what we needed ASAP
Thank you for speedy delivery
Unbelievable
I will update when we put our nerf steps on my 2000 Toyota Tacoma
Thank you again
My husband had back and knee surgery so getting in and out of his truck was very challenging even with the running bars. Bought these to see if they would help and I can honestly say they have. And they look GREAT on his truck as well.
Mounts to the rocker panels. Like the extra width to step in. Would have rated better if it was mounted to the frame.
very good quality looks good on 1995 f350 will be ordering 2 more for sure
Mine still look brand new after a year because they are still sitting in the box. Although the application included my vehicle, apparently you have to remove the body from the frame in order to drill the necessary holes in the narrow clearance areas. I might have liked the product if I could have installed it but that never happened.
Very pleased with the quality and ease of install on these steps,
The crew really enjoys them and they appear to be holding up fine installed on the new ford's aluminum rockers.
just right, not to large like full runners, and larger than usual steps, nice size good fit.
The best price out of all other sites. I was so impatient for my product to arrive I even emailed etrailer asking about my order. They were kind enough to email me back with the information on the whereabouts of my super hoop steps. Following day it was here and I quickly went and installed them. Very easy and the i instructions were easy to follow. I love my super hoop steps and I got love for etrailer. I would totally recommend shopping with them or at least compare prices.
Extremely well made with a great hardware kit and detailed instructions for installation. Installation was quick and easy.
Ordered these as a replacement for old ones.
One broke and the other lost most of the coating. Since those came with the truck I could not warranty.
New ones fit like a glove since I had the old brackets, 8 bolts and nuts and we're good to go!
Hopefully these will last another 8 years, if not I see the manufacturer has a lifetime warranty on them anyways.
Exceeded expectations! Easy install and solid mount. Looks great on my old truck. etrailer continues to lead in service, communication and product selection. There was a small shipping delay, but the staff at etrailer kept me in the loop, notified me of everything that was going on and delivered an awesome product at a competitive price. Thank you all.
The online photos appeared to show the steps closer to the cab. I am not satisfied with the amount of drop of the steps. Attached, they hang lower than my current factory installed mud guards.
Nice product, installation wasn’t too difficult. A parts list would have been nice. Took a fair amount of experience to put all the bolts into the right spaces. There were extra nuts and bolts to facilitate different truck set ups. Better to have a second pair of hands to hold the step in place while marking the holes to drill. Mine was mounted a little unsquare but it still went together. Shipper was a little rough on the package but little to no damage.
Product is very nice, installation instructions could be more complete regarding underside vehicle equipment obstructing mounting points.
Well made step. Great shipping. Easy in stall.
I wanted the Carr Super Hoops for my 2003 Chevy Express Van, but there was not a model listed for that application. I purchased the Model 124031 Carr Super Hoops since that model is the most versatile and includes the most varied hardware for the varied mounting applications.
Delivery was very timely as expected. Once received, the hardware seems of good quality and the black finish was just as I had hoped for.
I started by mounting 2 each 1” square tube spacers to the bottom of the existing Chevy foot well. The Chevy foot well turns out to be 2 thicknesses of body sheet metal with a stiffening ridge formed on the topside of the foot well (under the removable plastic foot well liner). I then thru bolted a 6”x24”x ¼” aluminum plate (6061,T6) thru those spacers to the bottom of the foot well with ¼” bolts. I was then able to mount each of the supplied Carr brackets to the bottom of the aluminum plate with 1, ¼” bolt and 1, #10-24 machine screw. The smaller (weaker) machine screws are expected to break if the hoop is hit from below by road debris or rocks.
Note that this installation leaves either the hoop frame to close to the ground, or the step surface angled significantly off of the desired horizontal. Therefore, I had to make some “treads” to mount on the step surface of the hoop frame. I chose to make these “treads” out of wood first to make sure I could make them work and look nice.
The new “treads” were successfully made on a table saw from a pine 2x6 and ended up being acceptably “level”. This installation left a shade over 10” of ground clearance below the bottom of the hoop frames (standard curbs seem to be between 8” and 9”). Now that I know how to make the “treads”, I plan to make a pair from some UV stabilized black plastic to replace the wooden prototypes.
If I were doing this over again, I could have just bought the cheapest model with the needed brackets. I was not able to use any of the extra hardware beyond the hoops and brackets themselves.
This installation makes entry and exit from the van much easier for my wife and I as well as our aging friends. I just didn’t care for the appearance of the full length running board systems.
Very nice and big steps - installed very easy and look good.
