Hey all, I dont know why i havent thought of this sooner. I have been looking for a decent set of nerf bars for my 2012 Raptor but the problem is i wasn't willing to spend 200-400 on a set when i could easily put that money towards something that would be more worth my while.

The factory side steps are unique and look good in my opinion but there is something about the clean seamless look of my Raptor with no running boards at all. Running 37's without running boards makes the truck look taller IMO.

Finally the other day I was looking at my running boards laying on the ground in my garage and thought to myself "What if i just use the brackets as side steps instead of using the whole running board.

BOOM.... the hardest part about this install is you have to drill 2 holes (each side) directly in the middle of both front doors for the ideal placement. (this was the "hardest" part and only took about 2 min each side).

Overall it is about a 30 minute project (I didn't have an impact driver)

Also I bought "3M" stair grip tape with yellow reflectors $6 dollars from Home depot. (optional). (cut to size)

Interesting idea, but they look terrible.

Stock fenders, not cutting?

Boy, your attitude is terrible ever since you got engaged. Welcome to being somewhat married, it only gets better!

I had to trim the bottom rear part of the flare Rick, I'm getting glass so I'm not hacking the fender up. I'll hammer pinch welds for now until I get the glass on.

Everyone is entitled to an opinion, I happen not to like them but each to their own. This place went to shit as soon as the Gen2 bitching threads where allowed to take over.

Hahaha you take shit too seriously if you let that get to you, this Jen 2 stuff is way more tame than the old shock threads.
