    So far I've added an Advance folding bed cover and since removed it. Gave it to my son in Maine, he has an 05 2wd. GT perfect fit seat covers. Weathertech floor mats and window vent visors. Waag center brush/grill guard. Hose clamp tailgate mod. Turned off the seat belt chime. Added Ultra-Gauge. Trailer hitch. Softopper. Replaced sun visors with slide out style. Toyota bed extender. Had Firestone Destinations and now Michelin LTX AT2 in stock size. More mods to come; Fog lights, locking storage in bed, intermittent wipers. Now looking for Radio/HU upgrade. and maybe a lift way down the road.
    NOT. My wife was bleeding me dry. Now that she's gone I have some savings. And no need for steps.

    They make the truck look lower than it is .

    I may powdercoat them black and re install them , I may get sliders

    Alright my peeps. Sorry I was slacking. I go to work before the sun and I come home right as it comes down. Had a few min today to take a couple of picks:

    I keep forgetting they are on the truck. Every time I park and get out, I almost fall out because I trip on them.

    Overall, they are ok.... I mean, I wouldn't buy them for $300 if I wasn't forced to. They don't make it look as low as some would say, but they definitely can take a beating of a lifetime.

    By the way, I think the tiny stock mudflaps look silly with the bigger tires, what you guys think? I may remove them.

    I'm in the process if changing all my accessories to black, and it seems easier to just do all chrome instead of trying to match blacks from pictures. Did you get the high gloss ones? Cause I'm wondering if they'll match the new Aries stealth high gloss bull bar.

    Front 5100s at 1.75. Rear TSB. LoRider tonneau cover. OEM bed mat. OEM bug deflector. Illuminated 4x4 switch. In cab AC outlets. 400W anytime. EGR in channel window visors. Black badges. Rear weathertech liners.

    Let us know if you get them and how the vendor was. Also, the site says they are the 3" main tube and if that's the case that is a crazy good deal and I will be looking to get these in the future as well. Though I've seen sites list the 3" tube before and it actually is the 2".

    They are supposed to help you get in and out , but I found myself stepping over them and just getting in , but I did smash my shins on the rear one constantly when getting stuff out of the back seat
