off road light bar nerf steps
1999 Ford F250 Super Duty Lights & Steps- Infrastructure Improvements
7. Two outboard bolts feed from the inside of the bumper and require drilling through the stock bumper. We installed the Rear-Runner and leveled it before tightening the two inboard bolts. We then marked the bumper with electrical tape and made careful measurements before marking the location to be drilled.
8. We then drilled out the holes for the two outboard mounting bolts. These bolts are also 9/16-inch like the inboard bolts.
9. The Daystar 5.7-inch 55-watt halogen lights fit perfectly in the Rear-Runner bar.
10. The Rear-Runner bar doesn't get in the way of hitching up trailers and it offers sturdy, secure mounting for the Daystar lights, which should come in very handy for nighttime work. One of these days we'll move our license plate onto the Rear-Runner's built-in license-plate mounting tabs.
11. For our application, the Nerf-Steps require no drilling so installation is quick and easy. The first step is to install the included clips in the factory holes on the bottom pinch roll of the truck. These will hold the upper mounting bolts.
12. Installing the Nerf-Steps is a two-person job. One person holds the step while the other installs and tightens the bolts.
13. Bolts thread into the aforementioned clips at the top of the mounting brackets, while 3/8- x 1.50-inch carriage bolts and nuts secure the bottom.
14. Installed, the Nerf-Steps offer improved access at each cab entry point. We're liking the bed step that allows easy access to the cargo bed too. It's also worth noting that the bars tuck close to the truck and actually help keep crud from hammering the bottom door seals.
15. We mounted a simple pair of switches for the front and rear lighting near the steering column where they'd be easy to toggle on and off.
