Nerf Bars - 4/9/2008 3:04:26 PM    MVPalmer271 Posts: 42 Joined: 5/26/2007 Status: offline Hi,    I was debating puting nerf bars bars on my blazer.  First off I havent noticed a lot of blazers with them on so I was woundering if they didn't look good or maybe they made the blazers look too low?  Also if I did go with the bars I would get the staniless ones with the black steps.  Do people clear coat them first like wheels or anything?  I know they're stainless, but it just bothers me with them being down close to the road, right behind the tires tires.

And I think they look good on blazers...but I wouldn't put em on a truck I was lowering.. _____________________________ 2000 Blazer 4d LS 4x4 - 265/70/15 General Grabber AT2s - Hunter Brush Guard - Surco Roof Rack with IPF 868s - 1.5'' Shackle + Tbar - 2'' BL (in reply to MVPalmer271) Post #: 2

No clear or anything on them. I just clean them whenever I was the truck. Also they don't have dings or scratchs from rocks or anything. Btw I got mine from Suspension Connection. < Message edited by nj4x4blaze -- 4/9/2008 3:36:32 PM > _____________________________ Dave- 01 blazer 4x4, 6" Superlift Kit,15x8 on 32''s and 20"x9" on 33''s,New Jersey Chapter www.subsonickustomz.com NJ,MI,IN,WI,IL,CO,MN,AZ,NC, (in reply to WolfPack) Post #: 3

I'm 6'6" so I certainly don't NEED them but I think they look great. Mine are made be WESTIN. I can't remember whether they are chrome-plated or stainless steel. I have had them for close to a year now and there are no scratches or dings anywhere on them. < Message edited by otnietdehoooo -- 4/9/2008 4:08:25 PM > _____________________________ Matt - 98 4DR 4WD click me!

NJ4x4 Blaze they look sick on yours. And I also I like how they help cover the blazers low, showing frame.  Maybe I'll just give em a quick coat of wax for protection . He He Thanks Michael Otnietdehooo you beat me to the post.  Yours look pimp too!! < Message edited by MVPalmer271 -- 4/9/2008 4:17:21 PM > _____________________________ 2000 Chevrolet Blazer LT 4 Door 4X4 (in reply to nj4x4blaze) Post #: 5

I figured painting the frame would help some but the bars looked SOOO mcuh better and I had some insurance money left over from a MASSIVE hailstorm. _____________________________ Matt - 98 4DR 4WD click me!

Ya, I under coated it and it helped, but only so much.  I feel this will be a better cover up.  I guess I had it all wrong,  I was out, and we got hit by a pretty hefty hailstorm and I, like an idiot fled for a gas station for shelter.  Next time its going into park.  For $1900 a year with a good driving record, those crooks could at least paint it for me...  Just Kidding.
