I'd like to purchase these but i want to install them myself without going to the dealer.. IS this possible.. I've been to another website that it can be done yourself but they weren't from Nissan... Thanks

Where there is a will there is a way. If you have done this before or are good with installing things then go for it.

Yeah, it's possible, you'll probably have to drill a few holes.

As long as no part has to be welded any back yard guy can do them. Even if welding is needed you can have just the parts needing welding done, or do yourself if you can weld. I would think welding would be the only thing most would not have the equipment to do. As dano said some drilling may be needed but that is not too hard with a decent drill.

It's a D40, so I wouldn't think it'd have any welding for the nerf bars since so many bolt-on rock sliders are availiable.

Thanks guys,... I found a site that offers side steps with no drilling involved and direct bolt on.. I think the brand was called Ironic or something like that..
