Nerf Bars

[zr10054]

Do the bolt on nerf bars from a CJ-7 fit a CJ-8?

 

[Ron84cj]

I believe they do but are a little shorter.

 

[Belizeit]

Agree. Just look a little shorter

I had them on the Scrambler when I first got it. They worked fine. Just rusted out quicker than the frame.

Don't do it. Put down the catalog...

They are a little thinner than the frame. They work great in the parking lot for knuckle heads who don't give a rats a-- about your jeep

Here is mine with clearly CJ7 nerf bars, they appear to use factory frame holes, they are on my list for replacement...

Why not? I was going to put some on in spring as well so my wife and kids can actually get into my jeep without my help.

I need a step of some sort. I'm getting to old to climb in and out and I have a bad knee.
Ok smarty pants give me some other suggestions. LOL

Original stock steps if anything.....

 

[gr8dain]

If it is not getting wheeled, go stock steps. Or if you will go off road, go with sliders with the step buit in. I have custom made square tube sliders that weee made to stick out and be a step. They cost me $120 from a local welder.

Btw, yours looks too nice to just have the nerf on it. You definitely need the stock steps on that beauty.

When I mounted my nerf bars, I set them back a little so that they were more centered under the door. At least the best I could before the change in the frame width.

 

[Belizeit]

There are no factory frame holes for these to mount in. When I mounted mine I drilled into the frame. There might have been one hole but the rest were drilled

 

[zr10054]

I'm really thinking stock steps myself. I was baiting you guys. IF I were to go with nerf bars they would have to have a step built in. Since I pretty much got it to sleeper status I think stock steps would add to the look. My 81 that I sold had Nerf bars. Not sure where they came from.

Does anyone have a pair of these that they could measure the overall length, I'm wondering how they fit front-back on the frame and if there is room to mount them off auxiliary plates as per SCJeeper did. Or even better a picture of where they mount to the frame
