Do these step bars install with riv-nuts? If so is there an installation tool included?

They use standard bolts, washers and lock washers. Easy installation no problems. I've had mine on for one year.

It has a bolt with a bracket attached. The bracket has a nut fitting opposite the bolt. They give you a plastic washer to put over the bolt to help hold it in place while you thread in the other bolt into the bracket nut. They use lock washers to secure it. (I am not a mechanic so I am not sure of the technical names of some of these parts.) Hope this answers your question. I just checked mine a couple of days ago and they are still tight. I am really happy with these. My wife and kids (and mother-in-law) can now get into the truck without a boost. ;-)

No they install with a bar that goes through the body that has a bolt welded to one end and a nut to the other. The bolt sticks out the big hole and the nut goes in behind one of the riv-nut holes. It is a much better design then the Mopar bars if you ask me. I have installed 7+ sets of these from this seller and 4-5 Mopar sets so I can attest. I have gotten good with these, I can put a set on with a helper in about 30mins.

no tool needed they mount in the holes in the frame that were from the factory I installed with a helper in less than an hour easy installation

George - I'm not sure what a riv-nut is but there were no special tools included in the packaging. I took the bars and the truck to my local mechanic and he installed the bars in less than an hour and a half. I watched and don't recall any special tools being required. The bars appeared to be very easy to install. MY reason for using the mechanic was because the job was made much easier by putting the truck on a lift to get the work at eye-level, and the 1 1/2 hour charge was reasonable for not having to do the work myself.

No they install with brackets that go in existing body holes. The first one is the hardest. The second will take u 20 minutes. These are a better setup then the riv nuts. I have actually seen them pull thru and fall of the truck causing damage to the body. Hope this helps you.

No Riv-nuts, step bars installed very easy. My husband had them both on in about 30 minutes. I love them!

There is a kit specific to your installation that does not require drilling or any heavy mechanical activity. The mount kit for my 2010 Tacoma bolted right on. Obviously the installation requires that you spend some time on your back, other than that it is an easy install. Hope this helps you. By the way I had a compliment the other day from a fellow Tacoma owner who was considering step boards that cost 3 times these. He said these looked much better and would order them. -Dave

No, you need the screws for complete install. I suggest google to find the size you need and get them locally. They must be coming from a different vendor now.

Yes you do. And the wheels are ill fitting to the bar. Everything is reliant on these incredibly flimsy metal clips. Ours fell apart on Day 2 of the vacation. Avoid if possible.

The bar does come with all mounting hardware. Due to the location and the angle it's a bit hard to install by yourself. I don't know enough about the different year/models to inform on the fit for different models. Possibly send a note to the manufacturer?

I order the bars and is the time that I haven't installed, due to I have no information on a seller. I do not have the kit. Seller send me the bars with no instructions or nothing. How ever to answer your question I believe so. Good luck

Yes, they come with the bars as well as all the nuts and bolts. The hardware is very heavy gage

It does indeed come with all hardware needed. Be aware of which side the nut is on when you take off the original track bar.

No hardware included, you use your existing screws. I was hoping they came with black ones myself...

no, they come with nothing, if you can ,reuse the stock hardware. just take your time removing them

No, mounting kit is sold separately. Make sure you find the right one on the Westin website which will match the step board.

Nope. I heard sometimes you have to install shims, but that wasn't my case.

No. The holes are already on the parallell bars. Comes with screws and Allen key. Install was a breeze.

My husband installed them. It was a while ago, but I know he didn't use anything other than your typical household tools. I hope this helps.

yes did come w/ bolts @ nuts also I was thinking it did come w/ the fulcrum too, but I could be wrong it has been awhile. Should email the makers too be sure, might have change since I got mine. Did not come w/ U shaped stand, but mine were fine & did not need anyway.

Yes, they came in the package. That being said, you may be better off using a toggle bolt of some sort for longevity.

Yes, they come complete with the foot pegs and all mounting hardware. Easy to installed, and look great!
