miannky Posted April 26, 2011 Report Share Posted April 26, 2011 Anyone install these on their journey? I'm thinking about it. I have a six year old that needs to climb in to the back seat. Not sure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BUGS Posted April 27, 2011 Report Share Posted April 27, 2011 I have a set installed on 2009 SXT. It may or may not help your young Journeyer in and out. These rails are pretty well in line with the black plastic rock guard that runs the length wheel to wheel and stick out no more than 4 or 5 inches. I know they are of no use to an adult for entry/exit but a child maybe. The best use, other than cosmetic is that seem to keep other people's car doors off yours in parking lots.

DJ11 Posted May 22, 2011 Report Share Posted May 22, 2011 I never thought of the parking lot thing. thanks for the info The parking lot comment was great! I would have never thought of that either! BTW, did you ever have the bars installed? I have thought about having some put on mine for looks but I am also having mud flaps installed tomorrow and I didn't know how a bar would fit with them on....also if you had the bars put on picts would be great!!

BAC Posted June 8, 2011 Report Share Posted June 8, 2011 We had side bars put on our R/T a couple of months ago., I think they look great and now not so worried about parking in tight spaces! I can also stand on them to wash the roof without having to open the doors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BUGS Posted June 26, 2011 Report Share Posted June 26, 2011 (edited) I purchased the DeeZee 3" stainless steel side bars. Appear much like the one in the photo above. Bought for $349.00 Canadian (plus taxes). Local performance shop ordered them direct from American supplier (here in one week). Small parts issue was rectified with a call to DeeZee and they shipped replacement which arrived in one week as well. Look good, easy to install (one hour or so) and so far have kept their shine. Been installed for 2 years now through 2 Maritime winters. You can find their website at www.deezee.com. Good luck Edited June 26, 2011 by BUGS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BAC Posted June 26, 2011 Report Share Posted June 26, 2011 My bars are made by Winbo. I got mine from a supplier here in the UK. Here's the US website... http://www.winbousa.com/index.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

19InBlkJrny Posted July 29, 2011 Report Share Posted July 29, 2011 Armendegga Any updates on the side bars? Did you get them? Like'em? Did you have to drill holes to install them? I am considering some for my R/T and would appreciate whatever info you ( and everyone else) can give. Thanks Omar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Armendegga Posted July 30, 2011 Report Share Posted July 30, 2011 I haven't as of yet... I haven't had time to really look at ordering them yet to be honest. I've been doing bits and pieces of adding stuff to the Journey. The last major thing that I added was the hitch receiver. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Windancer Posted July 31, 2011 Report Share Posted July 31, 2011 how did you get your's and where? Here in Regina I was looking at some Trail F/X bars. They look the same as BAC's. Terry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Todd Posted August 1, 2011 Report Share Posted August 1, 2011 I bought some through the dealer. They are from Deezee. Had the dealer install them along with a set of mud flaps. All fit and work great. However,recently I have noticed a sound coming from underneath the Journey. Turns out a bolt for the side steps on the driver's side has fallen out and the passenger side is becoming a little loose. Making an appointment with the dealer this week to see if this problem can be fixed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2011J Posted August 5, 2011 Report Share Posted August 5, 2011 Brand new here and the wife and i were talking about this very same thing a few weeks back. im 6'5" and have no issues but our girls are very young and a little too independent and always want to get into it themselves but always struggle. The wife is only 5'2" herself so getting these makes sense. They also set the look of the Journey off too...totally changes the lines on it. I may have to go into the dealership and see what kind of price i can get for them. When i go in and order/install will take some pics.

BUGS Posted August 6, 2011 Report Share Posted August 6, 2011 The loose bolt may be caused by the plate breaking away from the threaded rod. These are used to mount the bracket to the frame. They are set into pre moulded openings. One of mine broke during the install and DEEZEE sent me up a whole new install kit in 5 days (across the border even) The running boards (tubes) do not interfere with the mud flaps at all. If you want to remove them for the winter it is just 4 small bolts undone and they're off. I found mine collected slush and ice on snowy days. I'm still trying to figure out this 6'5" / 5'2" thing. Sounds like fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2011J Posted August 11, 2011 Report Share Posted August 11, 2011 oh it is fun. Hence the 3 kids and one on the way! lol Im going in monday to see what kind of price i can get with the dealer.

derfnl Posted August 11, 2011 Report Share Posted August 11, 2011 Since all the accents on my Journey are black (and far to expensive to go down the chrome road) i'm going with these black powder coat ones. added benefit of when they start to rust in a few years I can just spray paint them. Should look good with the Mango Tango. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woodsey Posted September 14, 2011 Report Share Posted September 14, 2011 I just ordered some off eBay for $171.00 with free shipping in the US. I'll post picks when I get them installed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
