Does anyone have any leads on any nerf bars for a 09 Sierra that are real close to the body? I like the look of the bars they used to put on the Harley Davidson Ford trucks but maybe a little beefier. I would like to have some bars to protect the rocker but I don't really need a step. I guess why I am wishing for stuff I would add that wheel to wheel would be great too.

I had some stainless steel Nerf Bars on my '99 Silverado that were made by a company called MAAP. The mounting bracket was designed so there was some vertical adjustment. I originally had them so the kids could climb in and out of the truck. After they got older I adjusted them up so they almost touched the rocker panel. Muck like you are trying to accomplish, they ended up being protection when going over obstacles.

 

I don't know if they changed the design so check them out if you can.

 

Hope this helps

NFAB is a great choice, but if you want a good price check out Summit. The NFAB bars are sold under "SmittyBuilt" brand name and are quite a bit cheaper.

Luverne is the manufacturer and those are the Mega Steps: http://www.luvernetruck.com/Product_Line/M...p/megastep.html They come with an optional "backsplash" attachment that really eliminates crap on the step surface

You, my friend, are my hero. Thanks A LOT... i've looked everywhere!

 

If you're ever in Pittsburgh, beers are on me my friend.

 

 

 

No problem...One more tip, unless your negotiating skills are above the average Joe, consider buying from here: http://myworld.ebay.com/ebaymotors/jsnahammer/. I searched high and low for my specific part and could not find it for under $550.00. This seller (review history) routinely sells em for $100.00 less (volume discount seller maybe?).

      Gas Prices

      There's a reason, many reasons, actually, some of us won't live in the Midwest. The higher price of fuel out here on the West Coast is absolutely worth it. And I did live in the Midwest once. No thanks!

      OCI, not when but why?

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      The GM oil life monitor 'should' be able to account for these conditions in determining the OCI.   My driving habits and environment allow the oil life monitor to trend to the maximum end of it's programming, I think most are programmed to max out at 7500 miles.

      Lower trims ( WT, Custom, Silverado ( aka LT )

      By actively-shopping · Posted

      We've been fans of the 40-20-40 front seat in the lower trims; specifically the leather option on the "3-across" version of the  40-20-40. I hope this can still be ordered in the "Silverado" or RST trim packages.  AND .... if dual exhausts are a part of the Custom trim,  does that mean a V8 package is available on Customs ?  Has the RST trim been discontinued ?  When ordering a V8 on one of these lower trims .... must it be the 5.7 ?  Or, on 4WD units can the 6.6 be ordered ?

      2027 Chevrolet Silverado: Official Discussion

      By Atlas · Posted

      I like it.   In a world of vehicle front ends that look like they've had a little too much nipping and tucking, I appreciate that GM went with a bold and professional look for the new Silverado and kept the aggression understated. The new 1500 looks a little more like the current 2500.   The interior looks well done as usual, although I'm not a fan of billboard screens on the dash. At least recess the gauge cluster screen. I see passenger screens as "keeping up with the Joneses'" in automotive interiors of late, which is fine. I don't think they belong in most pickups, but choice is good. Maybe some day I'll appreciate having one. Probably not, but, maybe.   Yet another steering wheel and airbag design. I wonder what it costs to have so many different models of airbags and buttons and steering wheel frames. IMO, pick a good one and stick with it. The new one is very...luxurious...looking. Again, not bad, but also not what I'd expect in a pickup.   GM has left us awaiting engine choice announcements and official details.     What will I be ordering on day one?   Nothing. I like my 2025 and it would be silly to get rid of it just to have a 2027.

      I'm also waiting to see if they confirm Apple CarPlay, because I'm not interested in subscription fees just to use the hardware I already purchased.    In closeups it looks like it gets the Colorado/Canyon center screen based headlight controls which I despise. They also appear to lose all the hard switches for functions like seat heating and cooling, parking sensors, lane control, traction control, etc. which means they're all screen/menu based, so verdict is out on how well those will work with gloves or wet/dirty hands.  Admittedly they don't show the left knee area of the dash, but I don't see hard switches for locker control on the ZR2, and the "mode" switch appears to eliminate the rotary dial with a quick way to access tow/haul.  My 2021 has had multiple screen failures and at times the screen just locks up, goes black, or reboots while driving even after replacement, so loosing the ability to access many of these functions, especially lighting control would be pretty frustrating.   There aren't enough photos or detailed trim details other than one mention of "available microfiber trim" to confirm, but the use of microfiber on the seats and or center console is a deal killer for me.  Just because you drive a ZR2 or High Country, doesn't mean you don't work out of it, and that material is difficult at best to keep clean and looking decent.   Lexus and several other brands are using it on seats, dash, and door panels now, I assume as a cost and weight saving measure,  and it looks horrible 1-2 years into ownership.  I see what appears to be piano black on the doors and center console in some photos, which also has no place in ANY vehicle in my opinion because it mars and scratches too easily, especially for a truck.  Will be interesting to see what GMC comes out with when the Sierra is released as far as materials go.
