    Anyone install Ionic 3” Nerf bars on a 2004 Tacoma Double cab. I purchased a set, should be here next week. Manufacturer says they are a direct bolt on for the truck. Just was curious if anyone had any installed out there.

    To me, it's a good basic look--black on white. I've had very similar bars for 15+ years.

    Beeballman - Thanks for the older post and picture. I have a 2002 Tacoma 4door with OME 2/3" lift and need steps for the wife. I originally purchased N-Fabs but much surprised, the workmanship was so poor that I sent them back. Not wanting to spend the $$$ for slider-steps I am back to cheaper nerf bars. Just don't want the grandpa look of them being too low and far out from rockers, would rather have them tucked up and in as much as possible and still be able to get a toe or two for steppage. It's between Ionic, Westin or Aries but it's hard to find pictures of them installed to compare the look. Does anyone have some nerf bar pics of installs that they can share for the 1st gen? So far, based on Beeballman pic I might go with the Ionics. Taco critter if you could share what is installed on the yours that would be great.
    Thanks for any help!!
