Hello neighbors, it's Brad here at etrailer and today we're taking a look at installing the Rampage Round Nerf Bars on a 2006 Wrangler. Now these are gonna be available in three different colors, we have the textured black which is a nice wrinkle black finish. We also have glossy black as well as a polished stainless version. Jeeps are fantastic for outdoor excursions, offroading and part of that really comes down to the ground clearance that they have as well as the approach angles. So with that comes a high ground clearance but also a high step into the vehicle. So for me, it's not too big of a problem to hop in without having to step up, but it is kind of awkward.

And for anyone shorter having that step here to get into the Jeep is gonna make it a lot easier. Along with that, it also looks really good. And while it's not rock sliders, per se it's gonna give you a little bit of added protection from making damage with your body if you do take it offroading. The round tube design is three inches in diameter and you're gonna see it has a nice curved edge on both sides. And it is offset with our grip pad here.

And this is gonna help you from not slipping when you step in and out, even if you have wet or muddy feet. Now it is side specific, like I said, it is set back here but it really puts it in a nice position. You still get the aesthetic of the nerf bars themselves. And overall it's a great construction, it's actually steel, but as I picked them up it's relatively lightweight and that's because it is hollow. But overall, the installation of them is extremely easy.

So our neighbor here had some previous nerf bars and being in the Midwest the wintertime salt actually kind of corroded those out. And so it was good time to upgrade. So even if you're upgrading your old one or you just wanna add them to your existing Wrangler these are gonna be available from a wide range all the way back to 87 up to 2018. They're also gonna be available for the Unlimited as the nerf bar is gonna be longer obviously for those four doors. So again, make sure you use our fit guide to make sure that you have the proper fit.

The installation of this is gonna be really easy it bolts into the actual mounts where the body attaches to the frame and you're gonna be using those existing bolts. And then it comes with the extra hardware to mount up the brackets that actually fit up in there. So pretty easy, 10 to 15 minutes as long as you don't run any into any bolts that give you some trouble but it's a quick, easy upgrade. And every time you hop in your Jeep you're gonna have a sure foot on the non-slip surface to get in and out. And every time you hop in your Jeep you're gonna thank yourself for having some Nerf bars on there. Speaking of that easy installation now let's take a look at how we got them on. We're gonna be replacing these with the new nerf bars but this one's actually mounted in a slightly different spot than what we're gonna be putting on. So I'm gonna go ahead and remove ours. But if you are in a similar situation where you're replacing your old ones I highly suggest taking a little bit of penetrating oil and soaking down those bolts 'cause chances are, if this is rusted so is where it mounts up to in that hardware. And sometimes that hardware, if you round it off can make for a much longer installation. So go ahead and if you have your existing nerf bar you can go ahead and soak those nuts down, then we'll get this removed. Now the bracket for this Rampage Nerf Bar is actually going to sit right here in this rubber bushing area. This is gonna be where the body actually mounts to the frame and we're gonna be removing this bolt here and this bracket's gonna sit up in there. So just like before I would suggest putting a little bit of penetrating oil especially if your vehicle is a little bit older or has seen some kind of rough environments just because it is kind of expo
