    Ok, I'd like some advice also. I'm looking to add nerfs or running boards to my Tacoma also. I like the look of the NFabs, but with my rear bumper chrome and black, and my front grille chrome with black insert, I'd kinda like to go with that scheme and get the steps in chrome & black. There are so many brands to choose from, who makes the best alternative to the NFabs? They will be used as steps, not rock rails in my application. Thanks

    get some nice sliders, they protect your truck from stupid crap (ask me how i know) and can be used as steps!
