What Side Steps are these?

As the title says.

Note: This is not my truck, just one I found in the internet.

Those look like the stock oval steps offered by Toyota in black. I have the chrome versions from factory. These have the slight bend towards the ends when viewed from the top.

 

You can get them half OEM price from AutoAnything or Amazon. Lots of sizes and types to choose from.

 

Yes, the black tube steps

I am torn between these two (I have a 3rd gen MGM). Which one will stick out farther (door ding prevention)?
Which one does everyone think looks better?

 

I have the black ones on my truck. I would make you a deal on them if you want them. I haven't pulled them from the truck yet but I'm really thinking about selling them and putting that money towards sliders

 

I had the pt-212-35055 on my 2nd gen. Took them off 9 years later and now have them on my 3rd gen. They are still in perfect shape. Very good door ding protection and also rock ding (from tires) protection. They mount up high similar to rock sliders so you don't give up ground clearance.

 

Nice, Glad to hear, as I have these coming on mine. Just googled the sliders and they look like kind of like the running boards I didn't want.

Why sliders over the this step?

 

I ordered 4 set of Lund 5" Oval Nerf Bars - Cab Length Nerf Bars for me and friends for $148 each set, before $50 mail-in rebate. Chat with autoanything and they will give you more discount than what they listed on their website.

 

Will all boarding steps that fit the 2nd gen fit the 3rd gen?

 

I think you'll like these oem running boards! .

Rock sliders are more geared toward hard core off-roaders.. They help protect under the doors from getting banged up when high centered or hitting the ground or rocks when crawling.....running boards would fail miserably if used for protection from high centering.

 

I took mine straight off my 2007 and bolted them to my 2016.... Holes lined up perfectly!

 

I'm not really a big fan of side steps, but these are probably my favorite. They don't seem to stick out as much. Unfortunately, I don't know the name of them. Found the image on the trd pro series page.

They look like the OEM running boards from Toyota. If those are them, they are low profile, but they aren't very durable if you plan on using the vehicle off road.
