N-Fab steps?

For the people who have N-Fab steps,do you actually use them as steps or just for looks? I am thinking about getting a set but the step part looks really small so I don't know how useful they will be compared to the regular tube steps.

 

I had them and used them as steps. In my opinion one of the better looking step bars. If you don't need the added functionality of sliders, they are great.

 

I use them as steps. They are a little smaller then some, but a cleaner look in my opinion.

 

I should add I got the 3" main tube version as they cover up the bit of frame you can see between the main tube and rocker panel better.

 

My wife and 3 daughters actually use them. I only use them when I'm cleaning the windshield.

This is the only issue I've had. ---> https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/n-fab-hardware-check.426289/

 

have a set on my T4R. they come in handy for a little extra reach and stability when securing items on the rack. My kids use the steps, but i find myself stepping over them. may be more useful when i lift it a little. also on a side note, the set i have are not symmetric. they mount up just fine and you cannot tell since they are on opposite sides of the vehicle. i ordered one set and returned it because of this.... then the replacement set had the same thing going on. i gave up and put them on anyway. they are nice looking and functional when you need them.

 

I have a pair and they are cheap on Amazon! But I don't use them when I get in my truck my thigh tends to hit the steering wheel, it's a weird way for me to get in if I used them. My girlfriend and all my friends uses them

 

+1 to all of this. I have them, use them, and like the look.

No issues like this here, though I've only had mine for a couple of months. I also Plasti-Dipped all the bolt heads following install.

 

I use mine. I had to get used to them at first, but I like them and they look good. A set of sliders are on the way though, so the nfabs going to be gone soon.

 

I've passed on a few 2" versions. I'm looking for the 3" for this reason.

 

My wife uses mine (5'5"), I don't (6'2") lol

 

I use mine, My Wife uses hers they work really well. My truck is a 2 wheel drive so I really do not need sliders. But the step bars do also protect from door dings. I have one of there front light bars too.

 

Can anybody tell me how long and wide the step area is?

 

Approx 3 in wide and 10 in long.

 

Thanks!

 

I totally love these. I have the 3" tube in stainless steel and
they really dress up the look but are very functional too. I'm 5' 10" and have a 3" lift so I use them every time I climb into the cab.

 

I use mine as a step all the time. No issues

 

I don't use the steps, but some passengers do. The OEM step bars were primarily to prevent door dings.

 

I don't use them (6'), but my wife (5'1") and kids use them.

 

I don't use mine (6') but my granddaughters use them all of the time.
