Running boards

Looking at OEM tube step running boards (PT76735120PS). Anyone know if these come with the mounting hardware? Not clear on Toyota’s website.

 

Yes, it comes with hardware. Very easy to install; I just installed them. Buy online somewhere. Much cheaper than in-person.

 

Check craigslist. There are always a couple of sets of tacoma running boards listed for sale. All double cab stuff is interchangable.

 

PT76735111 is for access cabs.

PT767-35112 is the black version for your truck, I believe.

 

Looks good! You must’ve found some local inventory to have them purchased so fast.

 

They’re still available online from several dealers, but not for long. $320 is the best price I saw.

 

My son got a set of the black 5 inch ovals for $150 of CL. We see them all the time on CL or FB normally for a few hundred. I like the looks of them and would consider a set but I got the Predators which I like too.

 

I just installed a set of ‎PT767-35112 on a ‘22 DCLB, did come with the bolts, spacers and lock washers to install, easy at 12 bolts in predrilled holes. PT767-35112 Is listed for DCSB but will fit DCLB as well. PT767-35111 is for AC. PT767-35113 is for DCLB only, think the difference is that this one extends back toward the bed space between the cab and rear wheel well, giving you a step to reach into the bed.

 

I had the cast aluminum running boards on my DCSB. Best running boards I have every owned or seen. Durable, great traction, and stuck out far enough to discourage door dings. And aluminum means no rust

 

All the running boards I have seen are below the bottom of the door obviously. So how do they stop door dings ???

 

From cars and help block stones from flying up

 

depends on how high your truck sits in comparison to what you park next to

 

I second the cast aluminum running boards. No rust, dings, etc… good stuff.

 

I love the look but are they functional?
I’m going back and forth on factory options on my new truck. It’s maddening lol….

 

Do not hesitate. They are perfect. Well built. Super strong. Easy to install. Smart design. Just do it!

 

I have the same ones on my Taco, I love them! I consider them very functional, plus I like that the they tuck-up close to the body and don't hang-down like the Predator steps do. I've done a fair amount of fire roads and light-moderate trails and have yet to have a problem with them getting beat-up by rocks.

 

I have PT767-35111. They are 'curved' on both ends. PT767-35112 is curved in the front, straight in the rear.

 

The fact that thre predators have steps that hang down is what makes them usable. The running boards mount almost at the door jamb and are just in the way during entry and even more during exit.

 

I beg to differ, I get a lot more use out of the high-mounted style of running boards on my Taco then I would the Predator type. But it's also the type that I'm used to since I've been running this style of side-step for close to 20 years on my other trucks (F-550 and lifted Silverado)

For the type of off-roading I do with my Taco, the Predator steps would have either been smashed or required me being a lot more careful with the lines I choose. Plus when I'm 'Wheeling in snow I worried that the low-hanging Predator steps would drag.

To each their own though, maybe it's a good thing Toyota offers more then one type

 

Its a complete different situation on a full size truck. They work well on those do to the cab height when u step up on them u can just naturally climb right in. On a midsize, especially a tacoma, do to the low cab and high floor height, when u step on the board your foot is just below the height of the floor but your head is way over the cab height. Getting out is the worst part. U have to pull urself straight out across the seat rather then slide downward like on a fullsize where your left foot just naturally lands on the running board.
