Nerf bars does the brand matter?

[indcolts18288]

Been looking @ these on eBay for my '04 XLT. I know Westin is a really good brand name but does it really matter? If so, I don't mind shelling out another $150. Thanks!

Well for $110.75 shipped to my door I can't complain. Was a little iffy until I came across a guy with a Tacoma who had pics of these nerf bars. They look great for the price.

Got them in, very nice. Talked to a mechanic earlier today and he said that the frame would have to be tapped and drilled and would cost me $200 for instal. Shouldn't these nerf bars fit in the holes already drilled into the frame? Want to know before I try and install them myself.

I got my Westins new on eBay for a great price. I thought about other bars but I wanted my Bull bar to match...

mine bolted up with no problems.....

Awesome. Thanks guys, gonna put them on Monday. Found a place that wants to charge $90 but after taking my running boards off its gonna be a piece of cake so I'll save the $90 and put it towards my rims and tires fund

Let me know if they just bolt on. My ford oem one on the passanger side is all bent up from the previous owner (like the guy turtled the truck over a rock off roading). I think the truck has been in an accedent prior to me purchasing it. Anyway, i would like to replace them both. Without drilling more holes.
