I bought mine w/o the bar and now I just bought one locally but when I looked under the car ...the reserved mounting points no where to be seen ? Are they hidden somewhere under the black panel board ? Can someone shed some light on it ? I am talking about the running boards / Nerf Bar .

Thanks !!!

Orev

yes they are under the black panel

I just cut 1" wide slots that exposed both bolt holes and it linesd up PERFECTLY.

Did you get the rear bar as well? Do you mind me asking what you paid for the set.

I'm looking for a rear bar and the market for them seems to be actually getting better lately with more available than there have been for a while.

People on ebay want like $350 minimum for JUST the rear bar! Most of the time you can't even find a bar on ebay. There's currently like 4 side+ rear sets and 3 rear only and a few side only. Pricey as hell though.

Orev

yeah thats a bit high. if one can't wait go for it. could be a snooooooooze you loooooose.

$75 for a set LOL .. no rears .

could you please shoot some pics ? I just want to know exact locations where I'm gonna cut

Orev

easiest way to figure it out is to take out the fasteners that hold the bottom moldings to located the threaded holes. What I did was use a large drill bit where the holes are located. I then screwed on the bars. done

Hell no I'm not paying that LOL. I waited like 8 months for a set of side ones and ended up getting those AND an OEM rear cargo cover for $150. I'll wait to find a rear bar for $150 or less shipped.

NICE. That's about what I figure I paid for mine too. The cargo cover or the bars individually sell for more than I paid for both so I definitely got a screaming local deal.

I'm at work but I ran out to shoot a quick one. I pulled back the edge to find the first set of holes then had a buddy hold the bar up to them to locate the other sets. Then took a dremel and cut out the slot. You can't tell there's a cut unless you're under the car and it allows the bars to be snug against the body without the side skirt in between.
