    Thanks. Can't wait to put the 17in Alloys back on! Only 500 miles on them and looking shiny new in my basement, just as soon as the salt is off these shitty VT roads!

    Do the N-fabs have an adjustment on the mounts to bring the bars closer or farther away from the body? Some pictures look like there is a lot of space between the bar and body and others look very close to the body of the truck.

    I have attached the two pics to show what I am talking about.

    do these nfabs help prevent parking lot dings? and where is the 2" vs 3" difference sorry ive been looking at sliders but also might need that lower step like those found on the nfabs for the passengers to get it damn hobbits!

    The N-fabs mount into the existing OEM threaded holes for the Toyota tube steps , the installation couldn't be easier , literally 10 mins and you're done . The bars have 3 mounting feet ( Doublecab , not sure for access ) with two bolts on the rear two feet and a single bolt on the front foot , no real adjustment at all , maybe the camera angle is playing tricks with ya .

    The steps help with dings , the bars not so much , they are tucked pretty close to the body , if you were lifted they would probably help more than if you are stock .

    The 2" or 3" dimension refers to the size of the tubing itself ,

    I have the 2 " Stainless on my truck , love them ,
