How long would it take 1 person to install a set of Westin CPS step bars by themselves?

What kinda prices have you gotten? I was quoted on those for $365 (not installed $415 installed i believe).
Hope this helps

By the way not a bad price on your truck
Mine with tax and accessories added was $29691. Pretty much same as yours but with flares and locking rear.
I've got a good set of jack stands so they will have to be my other set of hands, or I'll go ask my neighbor for help if I get in a bind.
Westin claims "no drilling reqired", I hope they are correct. Did the dealer have to do any drilling to install your set?
$340 isnt bad at all considering black that has a 5 yr warrenty retail for like $275
Good luck on your wait
Ryan
hehhehhe
Keeps ya out of our hair I guess..

By the way - do it in the right order, make absolutely sure it is dry (shouldn't be a problem if you're having any kind of heat like Dallas is getting - as well apply it in the shade or it won't go on thin enough - seriously you don't need much of the stuff) and always make Z6 your last coat. If you didn't get Z6, do. You might be impressed with just the Z1/Z2 or Z5, but after you use Z6, then you'll get total satisfaction !!
Enjoy the Zaino - it really is fun. And you'll start using your truck for a mirror!!

Thought I would post here, I will go with aftermarket flares rather than the factory type. Want them to be wider.
Will order some Zanio products next week. Been using Meguires Gold Class so I will be able to compare the two products.

1. Am I likely to have a problem getting the cab bolts back in after I remove then to attach the angle brackets? I plan on only removing one bolt at a time.
2. The instructions say to torque these bolts to 65 foot pounds. How critical is this? Can I really over torue them and if so, what are the consequences?
3. Where do I put the formed "washer" tht is presently under the cab bolt when I attach the angle braket?
thanks
When I took mine out...one was about 10 lbs and the other was maybe 60?....the bolts go back in fine..and I just tightened them up by feel..and not with a torque wrench.
I wouldn't get too worried about being exact. When you take them out it won't go nuts...trust me.
As to where it goes back together...I believe mine was the rubber washer first..(i'd have to look)..then the angle bracket next...(below it). It makes sense that way...then the rubber washer can sit on the frame as it was meant to be..sound good?
You'd have to ask Ryan here for exact...after all...this is the "ask Ryan" topic!....although he has not installed Nerf bars and might not even know what we are talking about?
Sorry Babs...we like ya..but I feel you only know cosmetics about trucks...and have had little to no experience with mechanics of them...should have stayed off the court all those years!
(this should get that anger management going)
LOL
....am I getting to ya yet?

The parts shop that I'm ordering the Westin CPS bars from wants $75 to install them. Heck, I've rebuilt 2 '57 Chevys and 1 '67 Chevy, I hope I can handle installing step bars. Except that was 13 years ago and I had all the right tools and lifts to do the job. Now all I have is my garage, some jack stands and my tool box. I will need to get a new torque wrench though.
If you have some *.jpg pictures of your Westin CPS step bar (pn: 26-1680) installation, please email them to me at....

Now if GM would just start building 2001 Silverados LS Ext-cab Z71 with two-tone paint, I can get my truck ordered.

BTW..I see the Silverado gang topic got the boot...how much longer before this one does?
- Tim
taken the time to help people and not cut them
down like some of the anal types that you find in
the silverado topic. BTW someone (clown) posted
something about Al Pacino, can you tell me what
it means? i'm still trying to figure it out. sort
of an old man's thing would'nt you say?
Let us know how the Zaino works out.

i'm not tryin' to have fun with ya either). i've
already got a bug guard that i'm happy with, but
is there a screen or something that i can get for
keeping the bugs outa the radiator? you've done
alot of research on aftermarket stuff and was
wondering if you've seen anything like i'm
talking about. in town i would'nt need it but, on
my freeway journeys i really get my share.
Obyone, silverado gang here? if i'm thinking of
the same people you're thinking of, well, they're
not what i'd call gang representation. more like,
and i can't even describe it cause my post will
get Zapped like last time.
