    My gf ordered some N-Fabs from a local shop for me for Valentines Day and they tried to charge her $450 for them and gave her a 2 week waiting period.. Needless to say I told her to cancel it.

    Helped her look online for them and found them on truckcustomizers.com they were on sale for $290.00 then did a quick TW search and found a $10 off code. With free shipping not a bad deal! I checked again today and it looks like it may have went up again :(

    Anyway wanted to give a quick review.

    They are Smittybilt technically but it says N Fab right on them.

    Only took 4 days to get here!

    Very well packaged no damage or rust

    Took me about 20 minutes by myself and they were on, perfect fit and I love the look of them.

    You got a link? I searched that site for n-fab steps and came up with nothing for a Tacoma.

    They may be made by N-Fab, but the steel and finish quality are not the same as a real N-fab bar.

    Per the pricing, Smittybilt recently went to what is called MAP pricing. All dealers must show the same advertised price.

    Ostrichsak .. you have a PM

    As far as I know they are. I have an inside contact at N-fab that I could check with.

    They are 2" steps. I like the look of them and they seem sturdy enough for their purpose.

    You built those yourself?
