Description
Rugged Side Steps for Three Popular Club Car Platforms
The SGC NBPR01 Nerf Bar Kit adds a substantial, utility-inspired profile to Club Car Precedent, Tempo and Onward golf carts while providing a stepping surface on both sides of the vehicle.
These are not simply decorative side tubes. Each nerf bar incorporates a wide perforated steel step plate inside its tubular frame. The openings add surface texture and allow water, dirt and loose debris to pass through instead of collecting on a solid platform.
The black powder-coated finish coordinates naturally with black roofs, brush guards, wheels, rear seats, floor coverings and other dark exterior accessories. The design is an especially strong visual match for lifted carts, hunting builds, utility vehicles and customized neighborhood cruisers.
Extra-Thick Steel Construction
Steeleng manufactures NBPR01 from extra-thick steel with a black powder-coated finish.
The complete system combines tubular outer rails, integrated perforated step plates and model-specific mounting structures.
The powder-coated finish creates a consistent appearance while helping protect the steel from ordinary exposure and wear. Routine cleaning and inspection remain important, especially after trail use or exposure to mud, fertilizer, coastal air or winter road residue.

Vehicle Fitment
Steeleng lists NBPR01 for:
- Club Car Precedent
- Club Car Tempo
- Club Car Onward
- Driver and passenger sides
These nerf bars are not universal.
Do not assume compatibility with:
- Club Car DS
- Club Car Carryall or utility vehicles
- Club Car XRT models
- Other golf-cart brands
- Custom chassis without factory-style mounting locations
If the exact cart model is unknown, locate and verify its manufacturer identification before ordering. Replacement bodies and custom trim can make visual identification unreliable.
What Is Included?
- One driver-side nerf bar with integrated step plate
- One passenger-side nerf bar with integrated step plate
- Vehicle-specific mounting-bracket assemblies
- Manufacturer-supplied installation hardware
- Step-by-step installation instructions
The golf cart and any additional accessories are sold separately.
Installation Notes
Read the supplied instructions completely and identify every bar, bracket and fastener before beginning installation.
General installation preparation should include:
- Park the cart on a firm, level surface.
- Turn the key off and engage the parking brake.
- Inspect both nerf bars, mounting structures and supplied hardware.
- Separate the driver- and passenger-side components.
- Identify the correct chassis mounting locations.
- Loosely install all brackets before final tightening.
- Position both running boards evenly along the cart.
- Check clearance around the body, floor, suspension and tires.
- Tighten the mounting hardware evenly according to the supplied instructions.
- Confirm that both step surfaces are stable before use.
- Reinspect the hardware after the first several trips.
Professional installation is recommended if the installer is unfamiliar with Club Car frames, underbody mounting points or accessory alignment.
Accessory-Clearance Considerations
Check the cart for accessories or modifications that could interfere with the running boards or mounting brackets, including:
- Full floor covers
- Replacement floor mats
- Diamond-plate floor inserts
- Kick plates or rocker trim
- Fender flares
- Custom body panels
- Lift-kit components
- Battery cables or electrical wiring
- Brake cables
- Rear-seat mounting structures
- Underbody storage or enclosures
- Custom side panels
Some accessory combinations may require adjustment. Test-fit the nerf bars and all nearby components before drilling, trimming or permanently modifying another accessory.
Important Use and Safety Information
These nerf bars provide stepping surfaces and light-duty side protection, but they are not structural safety equipment.
Do not use them as a:
- Jacking or lifting point
- Tow or recovery point
- Winch attachment point
- Trailer tie-down location
- Vehicle pushing point
- Support point while working beneath the cart
- Mounting location for seats or passenger restraints
Always step on the intended perforated running-board area rather than unsupported tubing or mounting brackets.
Do not use the steps if any bracket, weld or fastener appears loose, bent, cracked or damaged.
Precedent, Tempo and Onward Fitment Note
Although NBPR01 is listed across all three Club Car platforms, other accessories are not always interchangeable.
When adding windshields, light kits, body components or street-legal equipment, select the product specifically listed for the cartโs exact model.
For example:
- Club Car Precedent uses Precedent-specific light kits and harnesses.
- Club Car Tempo uses Tempo-specific Meteor light kits.
- Club Car Onward uses an Onward-specific LED light kit.
- Some windshields cover all three platforms, while others are limited to Precedent and Tempo.
Do not use the broad fitment of these nerf bars to assume that every related Club Car accessory fits all three models.

Street-Legal Build Note
Nerf bars do not make a golf cart street legal.
Depending on local regulations, a street-operated golf cart or low-speed vehicle may require:
- Headlights and taillights
- Brake lights
- Turn signals
- Reflectors
- Mirrors
- Horn
- Seat belts
- A compliant windshield
- Vehicle registration or inspection
Always confirm the rules for the city, county and state where the cart will be operated. Installing individual accessories does not guarantee legal road use.
Cleaning and Maintenance
Wash the nerf bars with mild soap, water and a soft brush or cloth.
Pay particular attention to the perforated step plates, mounting brackets and areas where dirt can collect around the tubular frame.
Avoid abrasive pads, harsh solvents and aggressive compounds that could damage the powder-coated finish.
Periodically:
- Inspect every mounting fastener
- Check the brackets and welded joints
- Look for bent or damaged components
- Remove packed mud and debris
- Address deep scratches or chipped coating
- Confirm that both step surfaces remain stable
Inspect the complete assembly after transporting the cart, operating on rough terrain or striking an obstacle.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many nerf bars are included?
NBPR01 is sold as a set of two. It includes one driver-side bar and one passenger-side bar.
Which Club Car models does NBPR01 fit?
Steeleng lists NBPR01 for Club Car Precedent, Tempo and Onward golf carts.
Will NBPR01 fit a Club Car DS?
No. Club Car DS carts use different chassis and mounting configurations. Select the appropriate DS nerf-bar kit based on the cartโs model year.
Are these nerf bars or running boards?
They serve both purposes. The tubular frames provide nerf-bar styling, while the integrated perforated plates create running-board step surfaces.
Are the mounting brackets and hardware included?
Yes. Steeleng states that the brackets, mounting hardware and step-by-step instructions are included.
Are the steps made from aluminum?
No. Steeleng describes the kit as extra-thick steel with a black powder-coated finish.
Does Steeleng specify separate gas and electric versions?
The current manufacturer listing identifies fitment by model rather than offering separate gas and electric versions. Modified and nonstandard carts should still be verified before ordering.
Can the bars be used as jack points?
No. Do not lift or support the cart using the nerf bars.
Will they work with a full floor cover or floor mat?
Compatibility depends on the floor product and its mounting method. Test-fit the nerf-bar brackets and floor covering before permanently modifying either component.
Will they interfere with a rear seat?
Compatibility depends on the rear-seat frame and mounting structure. Inspect all underbody mounting points and available clearance before installation.
Can these nerf bars be installed on a lifted cart?
A lift kit does not automatically prevent installation, but clearance around the lift components, suspension and tires must be checked before final tightening.
Do the nerf bars make the cart street legal?
No. They are exterior step accessories and are not street-legal equipment.
