Now for my questions. I read in the owners manual to remove the steps before offroading. Would this include the nerf bars that I have installed on my H3? Please excuse me if you think this is a stupid question but I ouwld like to here your opinions.

YES!! Those steps are not meant for protection. And if you hit something hard enough they can actually bend up into the rocker panel and cause more damage.

Thanks; I kind of figured that but thought I'd ask the question anyway. Now I have to crawl under and figure out how to remove them.

4 bolts on each side...size 15 I think...i only know becuase i've been crawling under H3s more often than I'd like...drivers side is a knuckle breaker if you're not careful...

What I find interesting is you can't put the rock rail protector on with the tubular assist steps.

Black H3 I apologise for taking over your thread it wasn't my intension when I asked my question.

I was very shocked about this as well since you can with on the H2. I know there was a thread last fall where someone had done it but last time I did a search I could not find it. May have to go back and try again.

They'd look pretty sweet with the rocker/step combo...black or chrome -- they'd just have to re-design the step, because right now if you had it, the step would probably become useless

Both rock rails and tube steps.
