Chrome Step Rails

I am looking at getting a set of chrome step rails for my Tacoma, and the local truck accessory company(Leonard's Truck Accessories) is going to charge me 370! That includes a lifetime warranty and instillation! Is that a good deal? Or should I look else where??

out of curiosity...what does a lifetime warranty of step rails include? free replacement if they rust?

see how much theyd take off that price without the install...should be easy for you to do in your driveway with basic hand tools

they are like step bars, but way better, and they either bolt up or weld to the frame and act as rocker protection and something stable for offroading. plus its a good place to use a hi-lift jack!!

from what ive seen on other step rails...its usually 2 or 3 brackets with 3 or 4 bolts per...a wrench and a ratchet and you should be good
