Product Description
Nissan D21 Hardbody Regular Cab 1987-1995 Lower Kit TH87520, 4.75", 10 Pieces
TH87520 is the only D21 rocker kit in this group tagged Regular Cab. It's a ten-piece polished stainless steel Lower Kit for the 1987-1995 Nissan D21 Hardbody pickup, noted "fits 1986 1/2 as well," 4.75" tall, and it "Spans from the bottom of the door UP to the specified width."
One Regular Cab listing
Every other D21 kit here is tagged King Cab, Long Bed or Short Bed. If you have a Regular Cab and want a different height or a Full Kit, the record doesn't say whether any of those other listings fit. Call 877-752-3811 before ordering one of them for a Regular Cab.
The King Cab version
TH87515 has the same 4.75" height and ten-piece count, tagged King Cab. Don't treat the two as interchangeable; the record tags them for different cabs.
Checking the height
Mark 4.75" up from the door bottom with masking tape at the front and rear of each door. Step back and look at where the top edge will sit. If the mark crosses the molding or anything else on the door, send us a photo.
Material
Nissan's D21 Regular Cab takes ten 4.75" door strips of USA-made polished 26 gauge 304 stainless, each held by 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape. That tape, QAA says, will hold for a lifetime and leaves the Hardbody's paint as it was.
Preparing the paint
The tape grips what's on top, so old wax and loose paint need to go:
- Wash and rinse
- Clean wax and polish off the Hardbody with wax-and-grease remover
- Fix rust, chips or flaking paint along the band
- An isopropyl alcohol wipe as each piece goes on
Ten pieces
No layout for the ten D21 pieces appears in the record. Use the photos and label every liner before you start.
Dry fit
Tape each piece up with its lower edge on the door bottom. Sight along the side to check the top edge is level, and open the doors.
Bonding
Peel a few inches of liner at a time and press. Finish each piece with firm pressure. Fit one door first and check it before going on.
Rear pieces of the kit
Measure the gaps between fitted pieces and use the same gaps for the rest.
Conditions
Mild and dry, out of direct sun. Don't wash the truck for a day.
Ordering
Send us your year and confirm it's a Regular Cab.
Why the tag matters
The record gives this listing only for the Regular Cab. If you bought the truck secondhand and aren't sure which cab it is, send us a photo of the whole side, or read us the details from the paperwork. We can confirm it before you order, which is far easier than sorting out a return.
Keep the box and every liner until the last Hardbody piece is fitted.
If you also want a taller look, ask us about the other heights in the D21 group and whether any of them can be confirmed for your cab.

Installation tips: Rocker Panel Trim, Lower Kit
- Unpack all 10 pieces and match each one to its position on the vehicle, using the product photos, before fitting any of them.
- Each piece mounts with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape, so clean and dry the mounting surface first; the tape needs paint or trim free of dirt and wax.
- Align the piece and press it firmly into place directly over the existing surface, working along its full length so the tape bonds evenly.
- Fit one piece at a time and compare each with the product photos and the pieces already in place.
These are general tips. Follow any instructions packed with your kit if they differ.
