Go Rhino positions the 1000 Series as the budget-friendly way to get a sturdy 5 inch step, and the OE-style shape keeps the profile close to factory instead of shouting for attention.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach bar is formed from mild steel tubing in a 5 inch oval profile, then coated in a textured black powder coat. The line is also offered in stainless steel for owners who want a polished look. Bars run cab length, carry a step pad at every door, and use replaceable end caps so a scraped cap does not mean a scrapped bar.

Go Rhino states the kit ships with everything you need and that most owners have both bars on the truck in a couple of hours. Work one side at a time, hang the brackets loose, set the bar, then walk the hardware down evenly so the bar sits level front to back before you torque anything. The one thing worth checking ahead of time is the mounting points on your specific cab, since bracket kits are matched to the truck and not universal. If you are unsure which kit your truck takes, sort that out before you order rather than mid-install.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo nerf bars, driver and passenger side\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eApplication-specific mounting brackets\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMounting hardware\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInstallation instructions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eAbout Go Rhino\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGo Rhino builds side steps for trucks and SUVs and backs its branded products with a limited lifetime structural warranty against manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship, provided the product is installed per the instructions supplied with it.
