Truck build

Main goal is door protection and a place I can use the farm jack on the side of the truck..... and a step I guess

Next time I make it to where the crawler truck is I'll measure and see how difficult it will be to cut out and reuse the rectangle tube.

The round pipe best for sliding off stuff and deformation/denting but it's not that important as long as it's fairly strong structure and the material thickness withstand some hits. It's gonna bend/dent someday....I just want the doors to function as long as possible

Can you brace the areas in between the 'standard' two attachment points on each end? For instance, have four attachment points to give them more beef.

Do folks still call them nerf bars?

I've always thought of nerf bars as the side steps /fake sliders, where it's sometimes mounted to the body and more for looks or stepping up into the truck than protection, and rock sliders where they are frame mounted/actually supposed to be slid on things to protect the doors.

Dutchtouch explained it well.

The frame on this truck actually has very little hanging below the bottom of the cab. So I don't really have much room to attach straight off the frame. I'll probably only end up with 2 points of attachment. Screenshot_20240501-100302~2.png
 
I looked for well over a year to find a topper for the Nissan that didn't have an outrageous pricetag. Seemed like every used topper that was in my price range was for a full size 8ft bed. I ended up driving 1.5 South to get the 1 i finally found...... Now that I'm looking for an 8ft topper every single used 1 that I'm finding is for small trucks or 6ft full size beds. It's almost comical.
