I’m looking for 5 inch, black, tubular, running, nerf bars for a 2020, crew cab, Warlock.

Any recommendations?

I love the look of my NFABs but they are not cheap and the powder coating that comes on the black version is garbage. It is as durable as the cheapest paint ever made.

Mine are only a few years old and rusted to **** on the bottom.

I will ultimately have to pull them off to get them sand blasted and Line-X'd or throw them away.

I spent hours this spring sanding, priming and coating them with Easy Liner (spray on box liner) but I don't expect that to last either.

Make sure whatever you buy has a quality coating on it before you install it.

I have Lund 5" black stainless steel bars. They don't flex at all. I'm 225lbs. Whatever you get make sure you get either stainless or aluminum. Avoid regular carbon steel.

When I bought these the same seller had them on eBay, Amazon, and Home Depot online. All three had different prices. Shop around.

I have a 2020 Tradesman Quad cab and tried these:

Extremely sturdy and functional...and not a gazillion dollars.

The product page has lots of photos and detail shots.

Are those wheel to wheel or do they stop at the end of the cab? Can’t clearly tell from pics.

They go from the leading edge of the front door to the end of the cab...pics here:

They look very similar to mine. Are they stainless too?

I noticed that as well...I doubt if they are black stainless as they were only about $210 on sale.

EDIT: I went to the Iconic website...they do indeed appear to be power-coated stainless:

Application specific (see summary)
Reccessed step pad area offers extra stability
Injection-molded polymer step pads provide better grip
Bolt-on installation requires no drilling
Includes (2) nerf bars, mounting brackets, & installation hardware
5" wide, oval-shaped tubing
30° mandrel-bent ends
Creates easy cab access & adds style
Stainless steel construction for strength & durability
Black powder-coated finish for protection

Like with many other things our bars likely come from one factory and are “brand labeled” for various companies...in this case with the logo/name in the step pads.

Yep, they probably do.

Stainless is the way to go.

Stainless, black powder coated would be preferred if they were wheel to wheel and fit my 2020, 1500 classic, crew cab, warlock.

I’ll keep searching.
