I hate the nerf bars and wish I could take them off, but my wife is 5'2" tall and uses them all the time. She actually carries around a broom stick to knoock the slush and salt off of the step before she gets out of the truck
But it could be worse, I have to carry a two step folding ladder in my dodge for her to get in

I personally never used them but then I'm 6'3", when I switched to the rocker panel protectors I thoughtfully purchased the removable side steps for the Wife who is about a foot shorter than me. Well she used them for about a week and then perfected a technique of getting in and out reasonably gracefully without the steps, the full nerf bars were usefull for the guys at the carwash when drying off the roof but thats about it, useless in the sand -a real drag.

No steps here either, but I'm 6'2" and only have to consider my own opinion/height.
Mr Pat and Humerabia, where'd yall get your rockers?

Mr Pat, I 've heard mixed reviews about the RRs. A lot of people said they had a hard time installing as the sliders didn't fit flush. How was your experience? Are they that much better than the factory's?
Hummerabia, OUCH! And here I am contemplating 1/2 that amount. Ha!
Thanks guys!

My wife wants nerf bars to help her getting in /out of the H3 and I can't question any purchase that is pre-approved by my wife...but do those with nerf bars really use them to step up into the vehicle? I was looking at other H3's with them and it doesn't seem like they would help that much - you still have to step up pretty high. I'm am getting the stainless one with black step pad, but want to make sure they work for the wife. Any thoughts?

Big plus on getting in, and I agree with Dennis--the H3 just looks better with them. But you have to take them off before off-roading. I think I've seen some rocker protection bars with removable steps. I think that'll be a future upgrade for me.
