    Since the stock side steps are bolted into the body of the truck itself. What should I use to fill the holes where the side steps were originally?

    I just used some RTV. Toyota sells the actual plugs to fill the holes if you wanted to go that route.

    You should be able to get them there. Most likely they will be a little pricey. Another thing you could look into are the little push plug Christmas tree thingy's. I know they sell them at the auto parts store for cheap.
