Nerf Bars


Recommended Posts

Posted

People that have had nerf bars on in winter can you tell me where the snow gets packed up?

 

on my old truck the snow would freeze right to the rockers...

 

now my new truck has nerf bars, but does the snow stick to that or does it get wedged in between the nerf bar and the rockers?

 

im wondering weather i should get some molded mud flaps from husky for the winter and take them off in summer

It goes in between the rocker and nerf bars and to the nerf bars on mine. Not a big deal really...just kick it out with the boot before you get in.

I'm looking at the Husky mudflaps for rocks. Snow frozen to the rockers isn't a big deal for me...but, your rockers are a bit fancier than mine so I see your concern.

its not that but i am going to have my rocker on the drivers side replaced like mid-winter so i dont want it to rust anymore than it has to

Yeah I got a fair amount of snow in the bars but I park inside a garage at work 4 stories underground so it stays pretty warm. As a result the snow melts off :)

Even with the mubflaps it gets packed in between the bar and rocker, the back corners of the bars get everything. the mudflaps just are not long enough. the only way to stay clean in the winter months is to just not be in the winter. if you are in a area that uses a lot of salt. the mudflaps keep a lot of crap out of the door jams.

I don't worry about it, it melts off when I get home. My nerfs look like hell the way it is I could care less at this point.

depends on the bars. I had the rounded ones and it would cake right at the bend and under the rockers. After driving I would just go kick it off. My new bars dont really hold any of the snow

I had nerf bars on my 04 and snow/ice built up and the bars rusted, i took them off and now can power-wash underneath much better. Nerf bars are a dirt/salt catcher. Good riddance.

    • The oil filter has NOTHING To do with oil leak. GM sources parts from 1,000's of vendors and as with anything mass produced, flaws are unavoidable.    Putting a larger oil filter will do nothing but satisfy emotions. The OEM filter is designed for the engine and perfectly capable of handling the demands on the engine. Oversize oil filter could result in reduced flow and overall lower oil pressure.
    • You're better read than that Atlas. 😏   British science fiction writer Arthur C. Clarke formulated three adages that are known as Clarke's three laws, of which the third law – that "any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic" – is the best known and most widely cited.   Stribeck and the pivotable Hersey Number isn't voodoo nor snake oil. That part is physics. It's what marketing and bean counters do with it that is snake oil and voodoo.    Stribeck is the relationship between Hersey and the Coefficient of Friction. Within the Hersey Equation if viscosity and viscosity is 'Dependent' on.......heat.......and.......viscosity index or the temperature to viscosity slope.    Specifically Hersey is the viscosity AT THE TEMPERATURE IN THAT LOCATION FOR THAT SLOPE.   Hydrodynamic lubrication exist when the film thickness in the location is 3X the Ra roughness of the surface. This is irrespective of the hardness of the substrate. To obtain that thickness X viscosity is required for Y velocity at Z load. That's a lot of moving parts. It is also impossible to maintain in an ICE but nearly possible with a turbine under constant load.    What does that mean? Error heavy and operate light. Wear is inevitable but the rate of wear and the milage obtainable are a function of prevailing conditions and HABITS. The only penalty is viscous drag and at fractions so low as to be well worth the effort. Double the life, half the manufacturing carbon foot print. Greed is the only impediment.    The materials generated by SwRI are the RESULT not an estimation or a hypothesis.    Don't delude yourself sir, EV's have as many pitfalls as ICE's. We just don't know what they are yet and it will take longer to sort as MARKETING and GREEDY CEO's have had more time to polish the turd they are selling. 
    • You can always count on greed to prey on ignorance and stupidity.    Friend bought a 2019 Ford Flex and asked me about using Valvoline R&P 5W30 in it. Told him give the miles on it and the fact it wasn't yet using oil that it was a good plan. He uses a Valvoline quick change shop for his oil service.   First they tell him that isn't the oil the OEM recommends. He told them he didn't care what the OEM thought. Then they floated the, "But it will void your warranty"    His reply was it's a 2019, there is no warranty and informed them their knowledge of the law was lacking.    Then they tell him 'But it will ruin your motor"!.    Mine to ruin he says. Finally they give in and charge him 150% the semi-syn price    Point it the brainwash is so embedded that even the service industry is drunk on their swill. The public is right behind them. Echoing the same lies on every forum and media platform. If the end goal is indeed EV then I'd say that ship is about built. 
    • Diesel hit $6.00 here today at the truck stop.   Payed $2.79 for E85 today too.
