Hi all. I'm looking to buy aftermarket nerf bars for my '03 pathfinder. If any of you, especially those who live in the snow/salt areas, have any suggestions on what brand will last/look good. I'd appreciate a reply.

In the process, i will be selling a rust free oem nerf bar for the passenger side. The driver side bit the dust in a black ice incident this past winter. Thus the need for a new pair. I'll try and upload a pic tomorrow in anyone is interested.

Well I finally went with Steelcraft (also seen as Ionic on ebay) Running boards. The are 3" polished stainless steel. I picked 'em up for $209 shipped. Here are some pics. They only use 2 of the 3 factory mounting points so they feel slightly less sturdy. The 3rd pic is of the passenger side factory running board that i no longer need and would like to sell. It has no rust or dents.

I'm new to the link thing so apologies if it doesn't work correctly.

Westin in Stainless?? Lots of manufacturers out there, not a whole lot for the R50. I had looked into getting a set after my OEM bars rusted out. Didnt find anything I really liked though. OEM bars were beyond insane pricewise. I still would like to get a set as they keep the rocks down from oversized tires/wheels. Let us know if find a decent set, might be interested in myself.
