Installing N-Fab Predator step rails

I haven't found any used within driving distance of SW MO yet either.

 

Did you have to remove the mud guards to install? Debating between getting these but wondering if I'll have to get rid of my mud guards that came from the dealer.

 

My Tacoma doesn't have mud guards, but I don't think a person would have to. seems to be enough room.

 

Good to know, I'm liking the N-Fab design over the OEM steps. Have any suggestions on where to purchase?

 

I purchased mine directly from N-Fab. $540 shipped. And I agree that they look better than the OEM Predators. The step is flatter, and the rails extend farther down the length of the vehicle.

 

I'm really liking them the more I see them... I just found a great deal on CL for brand new OEM predator steps for $400 (local guy). He took them off his 2019 4Runner Double Cab, I'm just wondering if they will fit on my truck. Seems like a great deal, not sure if I want to pass it up and go with the N-Fab steps instead.

 

I persinally think they are worth the extra $140.

 

Do the N-fab come powder coated?

 

Yep

 

How is the step surface? It looks like it has slats instead of dots. Does it grip as well, or better, than the dots?

 

It does have slats. I woukd say just as well, but I've never had OEM rails.

 

Think I'm going to get the N-Fab steps after all. Not to mention I'm getting a good deal on a new set from a member on here for $490 shipped.

 

Solid deal. Here is a close up of the steps

 

Yea I called a local shop that sells them to see if they could compare since there's no shipping involved but they couldn't compete.

Not the biggest fan of the logo on the steps, but overall I still like them more than the OEM steps.

 

I will sell my new OEM Predator step bars for the first$350
