My NFAB step bars are doing awesome...They are powder coated and not one drop of rust in 2 years.

I installed the NFAB's because I like that they have a slim profile showing off all that ground clearance

Those look really good man! Do they come with all the mounting hardware? I currently have no running boards and can't find info if they come with the mounting hardware or not.
Thanks!

Yep, ordered mine off of Amazon (I think) and everything that was needed came in the box. Admittedly when I was installing them I didn't think that everything was going to line up, but they did great.

My recommendation would be to get the top bolts started, leave them loose, and then get the bottom bolts installed. That's what I had to do on mine anyway.

The Linex coating kept them looking new and super easy to clean. No worries about rust or chipping. It did cost me $100 per side to have them sprayed, but I'd do exactly the same thing if I ever get them again. I ended up going with stainless bolts and got them a little longer due to the additional thickness of the coating.

Great looking truck!! I seriously considered this style as well, and it does look great. Will talk to some of the local fabricators here and see if I cant get some quotes.... Once I get some info I'll share...

I appreciate all the feedback from everyone... Some of the points brought up are food for thought.

I actually like the mesh, I'm not too worried about collecting rocks, snow, etc... I live in the UAE and 95% of my off-roading is in the desert dunes. I do love how much difference the 6.2L makes over the 5.0L, that and lift and tires help as well.
