Hello;
Recently bought a 2010 ford ranger xlt supercab 2door for mail route, Bought some nerf bars and the rear brackets didn't match up the bolt holes, also due to a small cutout1.5x1.5 inch were the t-hole up top on the bracket has no metal to apply bolt anybody else have this problem with the rear bracket for the nerf bar their 2010 ranger?
Steve

Where did you buy the bars from? Were they listed as step bars for ext cab 4 door?

2door ext cab rear bracket is a two piece bracket. The 4 door ext cab is 1 solid piece.

No, They were listed as supercab 2door xlt 2010 from truck champ

So they are aftermarket ones not OEM ones?

Probably ship them back to truck champ unless they can find or have the right bracket for this set, have to wait till monday to talk to the parts manager, tried to save a buck, should have went with oem but when we made the transaction on ranger they threw in a set of mud guards{rear} But they said they didn't have the front ones? So I'm like what? Why don't they have front mud guards? So that's the reason I didn't go with oem.

Hey STL,

How do you put the red arrows on your pictures?

That sucks
Make sure you get the right OEM bars check ebay they usually have them for 75-124 dollars

5/16" aluminum nutserts are you friend. That's how I got my '07 2dr bars to fit my '01 4dr. You don't even have to drill the holes out...just tap the threadsert/nutsert in the hole, then thread that bad boy in there.

Yeah, It's a pretty popular topic because the dumb a**es at Ford made 2 different sets of brackets when they could have just made the one bracket that's on the 4-door extended cab.
