Why a 4? Because of a minor dent due to shipping, and I had to modify the parts to mount to the vehicle. Everything was there but mounting instructions did not do the best job of mounting the unit. Using the parts in the kit I was able to modify the procedure making for a better end product. Outside of that nice looking step bar and they have held up well so far.



by:

Installation kit was amazing and everything lined up perfectly.



by:

These were a perfect fit!

My son suggested I order from etrailer because he had dealt w/them before w/very good success. The running boards came yesterday afternoon. VERY well packaged w/banding & bubble wrap. They were in very good condition w/all necessary hardware to install. After unwrapping took him, my son, approx 45 min to install w/hand tools & an air impact on the ground in driveway. Instructions were "adequate" but a simple video I found online helped - We learn better by seeing. These boards are high quality, fast delivery & VERY good experience dealing w/etrailer.



by:

Very fast delivery time. The product arrived in perfect conditions; and works as expected. Excellent customer service



by:

Shipping was fast and nerf bars were in perfect shape. Installation was easy. The bars look great on my truck and are easy to use when getting in or out. I would suggest that anyone installing these on a 2019 Ram 1500 Big Horn Classic like mine remove the factory bolts on both sides while they are easiest to get to. I had to use a breaker bar as they are tight. I would also suggest to only engage 3 or 4 threads on the bolts that you have to fish through openings. I broke the supplied fishing wire on my first hole as I screwed it onto about ten threads and had trouble removing it when the time came to take it off the stud. Luckily, I was able to make another one from a similar sized spring I had on hand.



by:

I installed the 23-4010 nerf bars on my GMC Canyon Crew Cab SLT. Installation instructions from Westin were missing a few details that the etrailer installation video shows.

The nerf bars are polished stainless steel, but the are NOT protected by a clear coat. They will required polishing with a metal polish to keep them looking great. I rated them 4 stars due to no clear coat.

The first set delivered was shipped in just the Westin box & was damaged by UPS. etrailer promptly sent out a replacement set that was doubled boxed & arrived in good shape. Hopefully etrailer will double box in the future.



by:

Everything went smoothly from ordering to installation. I’ve been very happy with everything I’ve ordered from etrailer.



by:

The Nerf bars were easy to install. Each side took me 10 minutes. The instructions were very good and easy to follow



by:

nerf bars are perfect.



by:

Shipped fast and arrived in great condition, was very easy and quick to install, look great on my truck and a very welcomed addition compared to my last truck steps.



by:

Great product. Perfect look - high shine finish. Exactly what I wanted



by:

Still holding up good. Great product with wonderful customer service.



by:

The rear mounting rail bracket for this product unfortunately aligns with a dip in the Bronco frame rail due to the Bronco's shorter wheelbase (front to rear). I was able to drive the bracket on with a big hammer and we'll see if it stays where put over time. For the Bronco's, if you made thee rear swing bracket 2 inches longer, the mounting bracket would then land in level part of the frame as it does with the F-150. I could not mount the rear bracket further back due to the leaf spring mount being in the way.

The Westin 23-3700 Nerf Bars look great on my 2014 Chev
Silverado.Installation was very easy and took about 45 min.
Great quality.Excellent support and delivery from Etrailer.



by:

They look nice, but two of the coupling nuts stripped and the instructions called for 1.75” bolts which the ones included were 1.0”. Luckily Home Depot had replacement couplings and bolts, so in the end got them installed. Beware if you are installing on an OBS Ford. Other than that, looks great.



by:

Had Westin step rails (nerf bars) on an old Ranger and got them for my new F150. This time I needed them to be able to get up into the rig (full-size pickups have gotten a lot bigger and taller in the past few years!). They installed easily, look good, and gave me the step I needed. I am as pleased with the latest step rails I got as I was with the old ones (which are now 21 years old and still functional … but not as pretty).



by:

When I get them installed, in a couple weeks, I’m sure they will accentuate my new paint job. If I ever get my “Hood Shield”,ordered since June, it will complete my overhaul.



by:

Just replaced my old Westin nerf bars with these new ones! My old ones was 30 years old. These new ones should out last my truck!! Bolted right on. Look good! Very sturdy. Good price very fast shipping!!! Only problem I had to rethread nut in tube. Threads was messed up but I got it fixed. All good!!



by:

Fixing up the 2009 F150 regular cab that had Westin Nerf Steps from the factory. We gave it to our granddaughter for her 16th birthday. Somewhere over the years she had hit a pylon at a service station Badly damaging the step. Everywhere I looked showed it to be discontinued. Came across the etrailer site showing it. Called to confirm the fitment, Sara from customer service went out of her way calling Westin confirmed it was discontioned but asked if they might have some stock. They did received it in 2 days.



by:

Well, it seems that the directions included are: 1. Missing a page or two; offer virtually no help in installing because what photos are included are poor B&W, 2.There are no videos on your site nor the Westin site that show how to install these ON MY TRUCK, 3. Using some videos I found online posted by customers who care enough to help I installed them; however, the bars hang too low at the rear (not parallel with the body, front to rear), making the bars look terrible. All the pieces were there and were in very good condition. I will need to modify the installation with spacers, maybe a better-positioned hole or two. Good customer satisfaction depends upon the product and the instructions and tips. The product seems good. The customer satisfaction via the directions/tips is awful.



by:

A quality set of nerf bars at a reasonable price. Installation was simple as well. Customer service during the ordering, delivery and follow up is second to none. The nerf bars helped bring an old truck back to life with some shine!



by:

Nerf bars came quickly. They were packaged well and secured in the box. All the items were marked for side and location. They did look good and welds looked good.



by:

These replaced a powdered coated pair of Nerf Bars that we had gotten new with the truck. After 7 years and that many winters where mag chloride is used on the roads, the originals were pretty much a hunk of rust. These stainless steel ones look sharp on our RAM 2500. And I’m sure they will do the job as the first pair did.



by:

Package arrived in a timely manner. It was packaged well and there was no damage to the nerf bars. They look good.

  • Instructions for Installing Westin Nerf Bars on a 2003 Ford F-150
    No, I am sorry we do not Janice. We haven't had a chance to install the Westin E-Series Round Nerf Bars item # 23-1880 on a 2003 Ford F-150 so we do not have a video to show you. Here's a link to the instructions on the manufacturer's website: https://www.westinautomotive.com/images/ePIM/original/75-0048.pdf

  • Compatibility of Nerf Bars and Mounting Kits Between Ford and Chevrolet Trucks
    Nerf bars are produced as vehicle-specific products. The mounting brackets that are used to install them are also vehicle year/make/model/version specific. Nerf bars for a Chevrolet truck will not fit a Ford truck, nor will the installation kit be adaptable. It sounds like you have a Super Cab F-150 - please refer to the linked article for info on cab styles. We do offer a range of steps for the 2002 F-150 Super Cab and the link at right will let you see all.

  • Vehicle Fits for Westin E Series Nerf Bars 23-0530 and 23-1880
    With a specific part number for the nerf bars I can look up the vehicle fits. The part # 23-0530 that you referenced is a set of 3-inch E-Series bars in stainless steel. These bars fit the following vehicles: 1980 - 1996 Ford Bronco Full Size 1980 - 1983 Ford F-100, F-150, F-250, F-350 Regular Cab 1992 - 1996 Ford F-150 Regular Cab 1984 - 1991 Ford F-150, F-250, F-350 Regular Cab 1992 - 1996 Ford F-250 and F-350 Regular Cab 1997 - 1997 Ford F-250 and F-350 Heavy Duty Regular Cab The...

  • How do the Westin E-Series Tube Steps Install on a 2002 Ford F-150
    The Westin E-Series Tube Steps, # 23-1880, install on the inside of the rocker panel on your 2002 Ford F-150. Keep in mind, these tube steps were designed to fit the SuperCrew Cab models only. If you have the Regular Cab, then you will want part # 23-1100, or for the SuperCab, part # 23-1430. The tube steps will install in the same location for each cab size. The only difference is the location of the rear bracket on the rocker panel.

  • Westin Tube Steps for 2006 Ford F-150
    The Westin E-Series 3-Inch Round Nerf Bars # 23-1880 that you referenced fit the 2001 to 2003 F-150 SuperCrew cab but they do NOT fit on either the 1999 or 2006 F-150. These two model years are from different generations of the truck so it is likely that many aftermarket products will not share fits on the two vehicles. We do have Westin 3-inch polished steel steps like # 23-1880 that fit the 1999 model year. Those Westin steps are # 23-1430 which are polished stainless steel and these...

  • Replacement Westin Nerf Bar Pad Recommendation for a 2001 Ford F150
    If you do have the Westin E-Series Nerf Bars # 23-1880 that you referenced then the correct replacement pad would be the Replacement Step Pad part # 23-0001. These pads are 21 inches in length though. You can also email me back a picture of the pads you still have and I can see if we have the correct replacement part.

  • Will Nerf Bars from a 2001 Ford SuperCrew Fit a 2010 Ford SuperCrew
    The 2001 Ford F-150 SuperCrew and the 2010 SuperCrew take different step bars and brackets so you would not be able to install steps from a 2001 on a 2010. I assume you have the newer 2010. I have included a link to the options that will fit a 2010 Ford F-150 SuperCrew.

  • Nerf Bar Compatibility with 2018 Ford F150 and 2003 Ford F-150 Models
    Nerf Bars from a 2018 F-150 will not fit a 2003 F-150 due to a few model changes in that span of years. Alternatively Nerf bars like # 23-1880 for a 2003 Ford F-150 will not be compatible with a 2018 Ford F-150. They are only compatible for 2001 thru 2003 models with SuperCrew cab. The 2018 Ford F-150 fit I've linked the page so you can see all the compatible options. I've also linked the page to your 2003 options. The cab length will be a determining factor for correct fit so you...

  • Tip for Hard to Thread Bolt when Installing Step Bars
    When installing nerf bars like the Westin E-Series Round Nerf Bars # 23-1880 that you referenced we've found that the easiest way to get the bolts threaded initially is to start all of the bolts before tightening any of them down. This allows you to move the step around as needed so that you can get them all started. Once you get them all started you can then tighten the hardware.
