      Jake: Jake here for ExtremeTerrain, and today I'm taking a look at these Octagon Tube Drop Style Nerf Side Step Bars in black fitting 1987 to 2006 Jeep Wrangler, YJ, and TJ models excluding the Unlimited. The Nerf bars bring a cool rugged look to your Jeep, and these only up the style game with their unique style of tubing. Combine those good looks with some additional practicality and further protection, and make them available at an affordable price, and you get a setup that's going to work for a large variety of uses. So, if all that sounds good to you, stay tuned, you're going to want to check these out.Adding a set of side steps, or in this case, nerf bars is an easy way to change up your Jeep's looks while making it a bit more functional too. Whether you just like the aesthetics, or if you're looking for a solid step for access to the cab or off-roading, these Nerf bars are going to get the job done while looking cool. They feature a typical Nerf bar style of setup with the drop steps that are going to sit below your doors. These have a pretty wide open step area with some additional grips baked into the steps to make sure that you have the traction you need should you find yourself out there in the wet or in the mud.They also feature a unique design with the octagon main bars here. These are going to tuck up pretty close against your rocker panels too, so even if you do manage to damage the step, these beams here are going to keep your Jeep's body and the rockers from being destroyed. These also bolt right on, so there's no need for drilling or modification either. The bars are constructed from high-strength aluminum alloy with the unique octagon bars tying everything together. Everything is topped off with a two-phase black powder coat, so they're going to hold up very well to anything you or mother nature can throw at them, including water, rocks, and even UV rays. The aluminum also means that they're nice and light, so they're not going to be adding a ton of weight either, and these steps don't drop down too far, so they're not going to mess up your breakover angle too. All that to say, these should look good on your Jeep for a long time to come, and they're also rated for up to 500 pounds of capacity, so they're going to be able to withstand impacts out on the trail, or basically whatever you can throw at them.Pricing comes in at around $350, making them a relatively affordable option in the category. Now these aren't going to be as inexpensive as regular flat running boards, nor do they have any of the fold-out functions, and they're not really rock rails either, but they are a good solid platform for you to use, or even just to look at, and they're not going to cost you a whole lot of coin. Installation gets a 1 out of 3 on our difficulty meter and should take you about an hour to complete. Like I mentioned earlier, these are totally bolt-on, they come out of the box exactly as you see them right here, and they don't require you to make any additional modifications. So, this is easily a job you can accomplish at home in your garage or driveway. And to show you exactly what's involved, let's hand it over now to one of our XT customers.Man: So, here's what is needed for the install. Obviously, the parts, so we have the bracket for the rear. I'm gonna do the driver's side first. So, this is the rear driver's side. Two nuts and bolts and washers. The Nerf Step itself, another bracket, two bolts, and nuts, and washers. The only tools needed are a 17 mil, a 16 mil, that's for the nuts and the bolts respectively, and then there's a 3.25 mil for the body mounts. So, let's take the body mounts off. So, the body mounts we're going to be removing are the rear body mount right there. There's a middle one. We don't need to touch that one, and we're going to, and that's the front one. So obviously, we're not taking the body mount off, we're taking just the bolt. This is the driver's side. So, we have a bushing and a bolt. So, we'll just take the bolt off.Now for the rear. Now to mount the brackets, we got two holes. The back hole is for the '87 and '95 YJ, which is what I have. So, that's what I'm going to be using. Brackets go down like that. There we go. Thread it a little. I'll come back afterwards and tighten these guys up. Now for the front. As you can see this bracket is bigger, again two holes, use the back one. That's not gonna stay. Use the back one for the YJ...So, now that I have the brackets on, now I need to attach the bar. So, what I'm going to do is I'm going to attach the bottom hole, and I'll give a closer look at this. I'm also going to take the bolts and install it from the inside. I think that's going to be a cleaner look. With the brackets the way they are going that way, it'll really hide the nut, and I think the bolts look better. So, we got one that's just sitting there hanging. Not going to put a nut on yet. Put the other one in. It's good to go. Swing it up. The other bolt in, move it over, put it in... There we go. Put the nuts on.Jake: That's going to wrap it up here for our review and install of the Octagon Tube Drop Style Nerf Side Step Bars in Black, fitting '87 to '06 Jeep Wrangler, YJ, and TJs, excluding the Unlimited. Thanks for watching, and remember for all things Jeep, be sure to keep it right here at extremeterrain.com.
