SteelCraft® 221600 - 3" Black Round Side Bars

I installed these on a 2007 Jeep Commander Limited. I would say I have average mechanical skills for a non-mechanic and I've got a basic set of tools. Let me start with the positive. These look really nice and, once fully installed, are super sturdy. I wasn't sure what to expect, given the low price, but I'm very happy with the quality and appearance. The end of one side bar was dented upon arrival, but this is hidden under the truck, so I didn't really care. Now the caveats: Each side bar has two plastic end caps that pop off when you're removing the bubble wrap and could easily be overlooked and thrown away, so beware. The frame mounts were stamped according to their placement, e.g., "DR" for driver's side, rear. However, the two rear mounts were improperly stamped, so don't trust the markings. The directions are fairly clear and the order of steps should be followed. Here's my biggest gripe: the 10mm bolts they provide are in some cases barely long enough to get threaded and in two cases not long enough, once the washers and lock washers are added. To save yourself a lot of time and frustration, replace the 10mm bolts they provide with some that are at least 60mm long. Trust me! The install took about two hours, most of which was fighting to get the provided bolts started. Finally gave up, made a run to Ace, and then finished up in about 15 minutes.

Great addition to the truck. Easy to install, no drilling required!

First side was a little difficult to install but once I figured it out, the second side went on with ease. Was a nice finishing touch to my Jeep.

I use the bars to reach the roof so I don’t have to step on my car’s trim interior. The bars were easy to install and look great. They’re a little too close to the car body to get a good step with leverage up to the roof. Still sorta do the trick though. 4/5

Turned out to be perfect for my truck. Great weight capacity and durability for the truck. It also made it look great.

Could have gotten another one for $50 less but chose this for center brace. Disappointed that it didn't come with one. Too lazy to return so I just installed it. Instructions were good but I had trouble getting one of the bolt on. Not sure if the threads were not clean. I had to remove it and screw it on outside to clean it up and reinstall. Overall, not too bad.

Could have chosen another one for $50 less but chose this one for the center brace. Was hoping it would come with one but it didn't. Otherwise would have been nice. Didn't need one but got this for my short family memebers.

Ordered this bad boys for my 2022 Nissan Frontier SV King Cab. Got them installed in under 45 minutes. They look great and the price was perfect.

After chatting with sales reps they advised me these would fit. Parcel arrived was slightly concerned as the label on box stated it wasn't compatible with my vehicle. After few emails ( fantastic response time from reps ) I was assured they would fit. Took roughly 2hrs start to finish, anyone can fit them.. Very happy with product & how the look on vehicle. Thanks

Great price and quality construction, but be warned... These are not what the picture shows. Picture shows a double curve on the bar, the Steelcraft logo on the grip pads, and single forged brackets. I received 2 piece brackets, a generic grip pad with no logo and a single curve on the bars. I got tired of driving my X-Terra without side bars, so I installed them anyway. The only difficulties with installation was the passenger front wiring harness pinched, but a clip of the zip tie that held the wiring harness to the frame and it fit like a glove. The bars themselves were labeled wrong. The driver's side was labeled passenger's side and vice versa. The curved end goes to the front. Overall it wasn't a terrible experience and the look fine on the car.
