i was hill climbing today and bent my crome westin driverside nerf and was wondering if i might be able to buy just one or if one of you guys have just one that you would like to sell, or any ideas how to bend it back ( i took the bent one off and lifted one side up and ran over where it was bent with a z71 and it dident even try to go back) so tell me what you got....

thanks

 

Get some sliders. They will look better and not bend.

 

i thought about fabing some up but idk i really like the nerfs

 

Drive to Tuscaloosa...we got sldiers and can weld them on too.

 

i can fab and weld them thats what im going to school to do so yea ...sorry but if you have just one westin nerf layin around ill be there tues : )

 

but does anybody have a clue on how i could bend it back out... im up for anything now

 

I say get some sliders from WabFab...if you really need the bling of the nerfs then get the sliders chrome plated.

 

but why pay for somthing when you might be able to fix somthing else

 

cause if you wheel at all, which it sound like you do some.....then you'll just smash them again right! If you have a good set of sliders that wouldn't have even phased them and you wouldn't be worring about how to fix them. If you really must keep the nerfs maybe take to to a exhaust shop and see if they can bend it a little straighter with there pipe bender. my .02

 

o good idea i never thought about that...i will prob make some sliders next week just to have somthing to do and see how they turn out. but i do wheel alot. i try not to but i always end up in the woods with my buddys and tellin them to come take a pic of somthing stupid ive done haha. so im gonna try and find me a play truck,so if yall know of any one with a 1st gen runner for sale let me know

 

cool...glad I could help out

 

ok this is what it took to bend it back.... 1000 yr old pine tree, the biggest chain i had,a 2x4,and my 98 tacoma in 4 low. can you see where this is going????? ok so i put the nerf bar on the other side of the pine and put a 2x4 in between the tree and the nerf hooked up the the chain up to my truck (which was in 4 low) and went to tuggen it took me about 5 mins. and now it looks brand new (and before i went to the chain i tryed tie down straps so i wouldent scratch the crome and i broke 4 of them)

 

hahaha, awesome idea. I'd like to see picture of that!

 

very nice. i had a buddy who tried that and the nerf bar slipped off the tree and smashed his window. hes lucky it didnt hit his head, though it did hit the top of his seat, and he had whiplash and a big red mark from the steering wheel on his forehead for awhile. its awesome that you got it fixed. congrats

 

so i did it again,but i got pics now..... so all you need is a big tree [IMG][/IMG]

Looks dangerous if you ask me

 

rock sliders>nerf bars

 

When tubing bends. It doesn't bend back the right way(which is why it bent again, and again, etc). Nerfs are for looks. Sliders are for protection. If you are going into places that bend your nerfs, then get some damn sliders.

 

well no one has said it, soo i will. Lets see some pics of the carnage! haha

 

theres no carnage i fixed it for now... im gonna look at steel prices on 1 3/4 x.120 tubing to make some sliders
