    Hello all. This is my first post. I'm interested in finding out what brad of step bars you have installed. I bought my husband a set for Christmas last year and we had to return them. They touched his mud flap and he said they didn't fit right. Any suggestions? He has a 2014 Tacoma Double cab. Thank you all!

    If you live where they use road salt in the winter as I do, I would recommend an set from Toyota. (I have their running board style on my 2014 and am very happy with them.) Generally speaking, OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) parts have a much more corrosion resistant finish on them and will last longer. If you don't have to worry about road salt, let's see what everybody else recommends.

    I have Smittybilt Nerf Steps black powder-coated - same as the N Fab pictured in this post - DON'T buy if they salt the road where U R - mine R rusted out - I think the SS was $100 more - should have gone for it - at the time I thought the black would look better, still do looking at the picture but a waste of $$ - rusted out quicker the a Tacoma frame.

    Your top picture looks like you have something on the bottom part of your body to protect it from rock chips, etc... what is that?

    Yes, I travel a fair amount of gravel road during deer season and it gets plastered with a lot of snow, ice and salt in the winter.
