    Just picked up a 2012 Prerunner V6 with SR5 package and towing package. Not crazy about the steps, they will be coming off.

    A little something every chance we get.
    Welcome to TW, and look around for folks in your area that took off their Predator steps for sliders. They will all want to much, so beat them down. BTW. I have some nicer oval 2007 for free, if you are local! :rofl:

    Ooops, mine are Double cab.... :anonymous: man, I literally cannot give them away!

    Those are palm trees. Would trade for not much more than a few days. You get used to this.

    Thanks for the replies everyone! Immediate goals for the truck are the aforementioned removal of chrome side steps. The wife is 5’2”, she likes them. Something like the predator steps is about the only thing I would consider. Much more low-key and the dropped steps look like they would actually be more functional.

    I’d like to find a set of OEM alloys and get more aggressive looking tires, but I can live with the steelies.

    Long term: TRD Pro grill, heritage style tailgate decal and some subtle debadging.
