Why are running boards called nerf bars?

What quad cab bars and boards are available?

For lengths, choose between cab-length or wheel-to-wheel. The dimensions of cab-length models vary between vehicles, with each roughly spanning the length of your cab. Be sure to measure the length of your cab first to find the cab-length model that corresponds to your steps. Wheel-to-wheel models also vary in length, but they run from the back of your front wheel to the front of your back wheel.
