    Couple months back purchased my first Toyota truck. It is a 08 Tacoma extended cab, 4X4 and the truck is a base model. I have found I need running boards. The truck is desert sand Tan and has black trim. The years have forced me to need running boards.

    So I need your advice on a good brand that fits well and is of good quality?

    Thanks in Advance for your help.

    OEM has served me well over the years.

    The same shit everyone else has.
    I’ll second this, I like my OEM “plastic” running boards as well.

    Just bought a set of OEM like above, about a week ago for my 2015 access cab.
    BAM wholesale parts...$265.67 to my door.
    Lowest price I found.

    OEM seems like the cleanest option. you can sometimes find them very cheap, or free on local FB groups.
