Best steps and bed covers?

Hi
New 25 TRD SPORT LB. Looking for Running Boards and a bed cover.
I like the OEM Cast aluminum running boards but not for $1K.
Also looking for recommendations for a bed cover that is strong and leak proof. Any advice is appreciated.
Thanks
Hoss

 

Personally I got a set of aluminum billet running boards for my 3rd gen and would have gone after them again had my 4th gen not come with predator steps from the factory. In particular I liked them because I too like the cast aluminum ones and hated the price.
For covers I went and got another Diamondback. This time I went with the switchback instead of the SE because I prefer giving up the first 1/3 of the bed instead of the middle with the way the switchback clamps in. A bit pricey but considering how long I plan on keeping this truck it was worth the extra $400 over the Extang Aluminum folding cover I originally had planned on.
