Nerf bars that mount to the frame?

[gtrinker]

I've got a 2007 and the rocker panels are rusted out. Looking for Nerf bars that mount to the frame (which is solid). I've searched, but having a hard time locating.

Thanks

Thanks, but that is what I originally bought. Unfortunately they don't mount to the frame.

Nothing does, You would have to have a welding shop fabricate frame mounts for you..

As todd mentioned,, did sliders on my gen 1 and used jack stands to get the angle i wanted and friend made mounts by welding a bracket. i used 4 door jeep as length was close..

So it turns out Westin makes frame mounts for their nerf bars (I confirmed with the company) . Double what I wanted to spend, but I may go for it.

Finally got around to buying (actually it was a gift from my son) and installing the Westin Bars. They look good on my 2007 ST and it no longer looks like the rusty mess it is! The install was pretty simple and I did it in the driveway on a 40 degree day. Would have taken about an hour, but I had two issues. One of the plastic steps was cracked and I decided to glue it with plastic epoxy rather than stop the install. It faces the truck and can't be been, however I called etrailer and they contacted Westin who is sending a new one. The second issue was my fault. One of the bolts that holds the bracket to the frame (each bracket attaches slightly different) shifted once I applied more pressure leaving the bracket loose and I had to remove the bar to correct. FYI, there are fasteners that come with the bracket kit (it ships in two boxes) to attach the bars to the brackets that aren't used...scratched my head on that for a few minutes until I opened the box with the bars. The bars come with mounting plates and nuts. The bars with mounting kit is currently $470.

Very nice. Just very pricey
