Let’s face it. Not all of us can afford separate vehicles that are for “off-road use only”. Sometimes, your off-roading machine is also your family car that gets you and your folks or kiddos to town, or out of it during road trips.

If you engage in rock-crawling, then chances are, you’ve got a heightened ride in your hands. Whether it’s custom heightened for a single inch or several inches, you can expect vertically-challenged folks (petite people or kids) to have difficulties entering or exiting your truck. Good thing you’ve got durable nerf bars on the market to solve this problem.

What Is It?

A nerf bar is a type of front bumper guard, typically made of steel tubes. You usually use a pair to flank the sides of your ride. Most nerf bars have a chrome-plated finish for an added aesthetic boost. To get the best nerf bars for your truck, we suggest that you get one that comes with a rubber, no-slip section. That way, even if it rains, your passengers won’t have a nasty stumble when entering or exiting your vehicle.

Why Do You Need It?

Well, you might not really need this accessory per se, but it does pay to own a pair. Mainly because it makes exiting or entering your cabin a lot easier, faster, and safer. (Especially when it’s pouring outside)

Where Do You Install It?

You usually mount your nerf bars on a horizontal cross bar at the side of your ride. Following the line of your side fenders and right below your auto doors.

Where Can You Get It?

Local auto shops should carry quality nerf bars. Although the internet gives you more variety and greater discounts if you find a good online auto parts store or dealer.

How Much?

Depends on the type of nerf bar you purchase and the type of car you drive. If you’re driving a mid-sized car, it’s bound to be cheaper than nerf bars for a massive truck. For durable and good quality ones, prepare to spend as little as $65 (base price, not including shipping) to as much as $1,321.00. The more expensive ones usually include all the hardware and warranty you need to protect this investment.
