Those would be nice for a show truck but with .084 wall tubing they will crunch like a aluminum can if you take them offroad.

Man you beat me to the post. I was going to ask the same thing was looking at them to put on my ride also because I have already banged up my factory bar going over stuff.

yeah and your factory tubes are .1875 wall. And they bend so you can imagine what those things will do.....

So HumminNBoatin' I take it you dont like them.

do you have a good tip on some I saw some smitty built i think they were that close to the Nfab ones.

Really because of the weight of the H2 you want something with a 0.25" wall. That way it won't crush or bend.

Re: anyone using N-Fab sidesteps?
 
so what do you recommend?

i just purchased the N-fabs, so too late on that. might not be the thickest, but it is thicker than the standard nerf steps out there, and looks alot better.

but i am curious what you would recommend out that that someone could buy.

The N-Fabs will be fore Show only. I would recommend extending your factory rock tubes out from the body or getting the Rocky Road sliders. Or just wait till spring with Rubberduck has a new rock slider out for the H2.

the factory rock tubes are allot thicker than the N-Fabs.

Re: anyone using N-Fab sidesteps?
 
well i needed something right away for my H2.

when i purchased this H2, the passenger side sidestep was dinged, and slightly bent up near the front tire. looked like it got caught on something.

so when i put on my 37 inch tires, on a full turn it would make contact with the sidestep.. so they had to go.

before


after


unfortunately i dont have a pic right now of the passenger side with the bent sidestep.

im all for a more durable rockguard and sidestep, and one of things i liked about the Nfab is that it is all 1 piece. i have to replace my rockguard anyways since i am going for the blacked out look.

i thoguht about buying some square pipes, and welding some makeshift sidesteps on it... i just dont have a welder... so made it a little hard.
personally i think the square tube would look better than the round.
i think it is pretty straight forward to make it.. only problem would be getting the steps bent so they all match.

I have a set of black rock rails and a set of LE steps that would do the trick.
The LE steps get the step up out of the way and you can use them on a stock rocker. I put the chromes on mine and the black step.
Here is a picture of the rails I have for sale and I'll go snap a shot of the truck with the steps.

Here's what they look like with the LE step. I have a brand new set of 4 for sale.
