Back County Nerf Bar Installation

I installed a pair of Back Country 3" polished stainless steel nerf bars on my 1997 GMC Highrider.  They mount, work and look sweet. You can find them at Custom Truck Products.  The ZR2/Highrider part numbers for the extended cab is 6062 and extended cab w/ 3rd door is 6064.  For regular cabs, call and they will give you the part number.

I transferred the bars to my 2000 Highrider a few months ago and they're still looking great.  I did repaint the mounting brackets before I put them on, but other than that they look like new after 3 Wisconsin winters.
