    I had rented trucks for years and when I finally moved out of NYC back to California I got a Taco, and it's been the best purchase of my adult life. Looking forward to this community.

    3" Lift Tires
    Hi Everyone! Thanks for the notes, appreciated. Getting a 3" lift and KO2's was a great decision, but my step bar isn't really functional, meaning no one ever uses it to step into the truck.

    The Toyota Predator and Nerf N Fabs look better and that they can actually be used as steps. Curious if they work as such? I never thought about them getting in the way when entering/exiting taco. I probably wouldn't use them - thinking of the riders. Interesting! I do some off-roading now, will step it up in '19, and do tons of driving in the snow.

    Welcome to TW...The N-Fabs are very functional for steps,that’s what I have to make it easier for my wife to get in and out of my truck. I have a 4 inch lift on my truck. If you’re gonna do much off-roading you may want to consider sliders.
