Anybody ever hear of Bully nurf bars?

[G35]

Question for you guys.

 

Looking for some nurf bars and have looked at the Westin CPS bars but a local store also carries Bully by Pilot brand and they look as nice as the Westin's but are alot cheaper in price.

 

Anybody hear of or know about the quality of the Bully bars?

The one I'm looking at is a stainless steel bar for a 2002 Chevy Silverado extended cab.

 

Any thing about these bars good or bad would be great.

 

Thanks,

 

Brad

Guess not.

I'm not familiar with the Bully bars, but have a bit of advise. The Westins are a great product, from what I can see, but seem to be just a tad steep in price. I personally feel the name is what you are paying for. I also feel that you get what you pay for, for the most part. What kind of price difference are you talking? What type of store are you purchasing from. I know the Luverne brand SS bars are a decent price and do hold up well.

 

I also have seen a post somewhere on here about different types of stainless steel. I think "TxDoc" made the reply about it in another post.

I'm thinking of buying the nerf bars and a tonneau cover from a local store. I know their more expensive but I'm concerned about the step bars rusting and needed replacement under warrenty. Thats why I plan on buying them local.  If I mail order them I may have to pay shipping if I have a claim under warrenty and that will coast more in the long run. I found the local store to be about $100.00 more or less then prices on the internet.

 

The local store has the stainless Bully bars for $380.00 and the Westin CPS bars for $499.00 This is the installed price.  Both have a lifetime warrenty.  I need to check with them if they have a diffrent price if I install them.

 

The tonneau cover I'm thinking of getting is the Access brand and the local store sells them for $429.00. Best price I can find on the Internet is $425.00 so for $4.00 I don't think it's worth it to mail order the cover.  I will be installing the tonneau cover. Plus I'm hoping to get the local store to know off some on the price if I buy both items.

 

I think the bottom line is if you get a stainless nerf bar it will be OK as long as it has a life time warrenty.  That's the way I'm thinking.

 

Just wish I could find more info on these Bully bars before I buy them.

what kinda tonnaeu cover are you going with?  Snaps, power?

 

I have the gm cover and it is wonderful.  Great thing is good quality and less than $300

Are the Bully bars chrome plated stainless like the Westins or are they just stainless?  Regular stainless can start to "yellow" after a few years of exposure and will require polishing.  The Westin bars are going to be shiny forever with just regular washings...

 

You can buy the bars online for a cheaper price and install them yourself if you like...

Thanks for all the help guys.

Here's what I ended up with.

 

Since I couldn't find too much info on the Bully bars I started looking again at the Westin CPS bars and trying to find a better price.  I called a tons of other local stores and found a Rino linings place that also sells accessories.  The had the Westin CPS nerf bars and the Access cover. He said if I got both of the he would sell me the Westin bars for $378.00 installed and the Access cover for $429.00 installed.  I said you have a deal.  Stoped by there shop after work and in less then 30 minutes they had put both items on and I was on my way.  Great place to do  business with.

 

I still can't beleive I got both items on my truck and I didn't have to do any of the work and it didn't cost me any more to have them install them.

 

Now I have to get used to using the bars. After having my truck for a year and just jumping in or out I must retrain myself to use the bars.

 

 

I did find out some info on the Bully bars. They have only been in the market for about 2 years and the do make an OK bar. I have been told they use a top grade of stainless steel. The bars are stainless and have a life time warranty.

One thing the guy at the install shop said about them is they are Ok bars but some of the problems they have seen with bars other then Westin's is the fasteners that hold on the step pads tend to not be as good as the Westin's.  He said they have never had a warranty claim on any Westin CPS bars.

 

I feel better knowing I got the Westins.

 

Thanks again.

Hopefully if we get some nice weather I can wash the truck and take some pictures and post them.
