The good thing about this is there are only a few of these nerf bar setups out there. Bernie is no longer making them.

Hi, Charlie

I'm the one doing the experimenting on this, but I should be OK. I went one step further when I installed the nerf bars, so that I could eventually put on Eric's spoiler. See - I can have faith and be patient.

I cut the horizontal tubes about 2 inches from where they are welded to the vertical tubes, and inserted a sleeve. All I need to do is take off 2 bolts, slide the nerf bars off, line up where I need to cut the spoiler and reinstall the nerf bars after the spoiler is cut, painted and installed.

I'll let you know how it all works out.

You could still do that with yours, but if your bars are welded to the frame, the cutting and drilling of holes would have to be done on the truck instead of in a bandsaw and drill press. Maybe a plasma cutter? Drilling the stainless might be a bit of a challenge.

I also welded a 1/8" bar to the frame, then drilled and tapped the bar and frame so I could bolt the nerf bars on. I can go from nerfy to non-nerfy in a couple minutes.

Only problem - some of my Fanatic friends have their eyes on my nerf bars, and they're easily removed.
