i just took off the bars on my truck, Westin. They are six years old and have rust and actually some rust through holes. I need new ones. Recommendations. I've seen aluminum ones available, must be some bucks.

These heavy-duty step bars are made from powdercoated steel with an aluminum treadplate surface:



They are available under any door, bed-side or rear bumper.

Were those big bucks? Do those retract when door is closed?

The price was right - we get that stuff on the cheap!

They are stationary, riding a couple of inches lower and further away from the door sill to make a really safe, comfortable step in between the ground and the truck... the ladies sure appreciate them.

I prefer "nerf bars", they've saved my doors from careless door flingers numerous times.

My Westin's are showing their age as well, rusty in the corners and the plastic step is coming off the driver side.

I figure 5-6 years is pretty good, and I'll most likely replace them with the same,
which will make mounting that much easier as well.

I thought the Westin Stainless ones had a lifetime warranty against rust? Were yours the mild steel ones and not stainless?

I have Wildcat Flash wheel to wheel on my truck that I bought from Orielly's and only paid $269. I think the price was a mistake on their part but it would be worth checking out.
