Hey everybody, Connor here today at etrailer.com. We're going to be going over and showing you how to install the Car Nerf Bar running board steps here for our 2016 Ford Transit T250. So here's what our steps are going to look like installed. As you can see here, we have a nice durable black powder coated finish. That's going to do a great job, helping it hold up from rust and corrosion over time. After all it is on the bottom of the vehicle here so it is going to see a lot of road debris. We're not going to have to worry about any discoloration or rusting with this durable black powder coated finish.So our bracket is going to be made entirely of steel, the step as well. We're also going to get this nice little cutouts here. They're going to help provide extra grip and traction. So we don't have to worry about ice or snow, getting on the step and causing us to slip and fall. Our shoes are really going to bite into this material here which is why we have these little divots all on the top of the step. Now they're going to be super grippy and go ahead and show you that now. And see, we're not really sliding around moving my foot. It's going to provide a great little step here to help us when we're getting in and out of our vehicle.As you can see here, I have my boots on and I still have plenty of room to get a nice, good grip on that step here. A lot of these steps are pretty narrow and shallow, so it's really hard to get your full foot on there. But as you can see here, I have size 11 for reference there also the wide models. Just go ahead and step in there. I can get my complete boot on the step here without having to worry about slipping or falling. So just to give you some dimensions there of that step surface, it's going to be 20 and a quarter long by four and a quarter wide. So again we have plenty of surface area there to get our shoes off and on.So in regards to the weight capacity, these things are super solid super sturdy when we're on there. So we're really not going to have any issues with those. It does, however, have a 500 pound weight capacity, which shouldn't be an issue for most people. So I don't think you guys will have any issues with these steps, but if you do, they are backed by a lifetime warranty. They're also made right here in the USA. So you know you're getting a quality well-made product.So in regards to installation, these steps are pretty simple to install, definitely something I recommend you guys try at home by yourself. We really don't need any specialized tools nor do you really have to have a lot of mechanical knowledge to be able to do this.So the first step of our installation, we're actually going to be doing this aside off our van here. We're going to take one of our step assemblies and we're going to take to our brackets here. You can see the brackets, we need to face them like so the tabs are going to be on the inside. We're also going to need to gather some tools and some hardware. We're going to be using some of our Allen head cap screw. So they look like this. We're also going to be using our nylock nuts and some flat washers. Then as far as the tools go, we're going to need a 13 millimeter socket and we're going to need a three-sixteenths inch Allen head.So what we're going to do is we're going to take our step here. We're going to take one of our brackets. You can see there's a little slot inside on the backside of the step. We also have our mounting holes here up top. What we're going to do is we're going to place that slot inside there of the bracket. And if we look up top are mounting holes should align. We're going to take one of our Allen head cap screws, set that through there, and now we can come on the backside and secure it with a flat washer and nylock nut. We'll go ahead and repeat that same process for our other hole here. And then we can snug down the hardware.So now that we have both of our brackets assembled, we're ready to set our step assembly up on our vehicle. So we're going to be starting on the driver's side here. We're going to be marking out these holes here once we have it into position. So we're going to need a paint marker. So we can mark through those holes here on the bottom of the pinch weld, where we need to drill. So what we want to do to starters, to make sure that we have the correct spacing or they're going to be even on both sid
