    I am fairly new to Tacoma board. I spent about a year waiting for my TRD Pro to be made then ordered. In that time I lurked the board trying to gather info on upgrades and man is this the place to go. So after reading up I completed LED upgrade !, decided on upgrade 265/75/16 Duratrac (close call over BF/KO2s)

    It was time to make a step purchase. I am not a big off-roader. The majority of my 4x4 use comes with beach driving for surf fishing. I was initially drawn to the fairly good looks of the predator step and some of the others but I wanted something sturdy that would hold up to beach and give me a jack point.

    So on this forum I discovered MOBtown off-road and the difference between sliders and steps. From all reviews it seemed Mobtown stood out as best made and decided to pull the trigger. Then I had it was meant to be moment when I realized they are manufactured in nearby Maryland. So made the purchase and had them installed at their "plant" in an old reclaimed rural industrial park. Unbelievable to see the pride they take in making their stuff. No corners cut in constant engineering improvements and pride in construction. These things are 100% American made by craftsman that take pride in their cuts and welds. Same local pride in finish. I choose 0 degree slider with a bump out and an awesome high grit powder coat finish. (Almost looks like spray liner finish) It makes a perfect step and 100% confidence on the protection and strength seeing the thing wrapped around the frame.

    I understand there are a lot of mass produced, made in China good looking less expensive options. No offense to anyone that has em ... i just know seeing the build quality and detail of American engeneering and construction I am going to be super proud of these things for the life of my truck. Worth every penny to me.

    Thanks Joe at Mobtown Off-road!

    Nice sliders, no doubt about that, but calling any product "By far best [...] made" is almost always a stretch. Especially when not providing any comparisons.
