    That's actually a nice setup, not a big fan of running board but I'm digging yours bro and price ain't bad! I went to Toyota to ask some predator steps were running me $800, they out their mind.

    Using my eBay app at work. Can't figure out how to copy the link. But here's a snapshot of the running boards and seller. I have no clue why mine were $275 shipped. And even when installing them I ordered the Access Cab model.

    But they're for double cab and the seller shipped them in 2 days. I like them. Sold my N fabs for these because I wanted a little more door ding protection.

    Edit: I used my dads account to order them. And since it was his first ever eBay purchase I think it gave me $25 off maybe? And at the time his shipping was only $25 and not $50. Maybe email them and see if he can hook you up. My Kansas City dealer couldn't match his price so I went with these.

    My dealer did match TRD exhaust price for $350 which was cool. And dad and I installed it.

    Depends on your needs. If you (or kids/spouse) want step up help, get something like the N-fabs predator style steps. If you want real protection from impacts or door dings, get rock sliders. If you just need something to kick the mud off your boots and stand on to wash your roof, the oval tube steps are a nice aesthetic middle ground.

    Nice man!! Those sliders are pretty sick! Definitely want something for my daughter and wife to get some step up help but also protect from dings! Those sliders will definitely do the trick! Where you get yours?

    Not sure who you were asking, but I got mine from SOS Concepts. Lots of vendors though (Mobtown, BAMF, etc. look for someone local) They (sliders) are not very good for steps though as they sit high (good door protection). Great for standing on though. I think people have put drop loops (like predator steps) on them though for short people. Lost of info, just do a search for sliders.

    3dBdown, I see alright thanks again appreciate it, I'll do some research on it, it's kinda hard to find someone locally around over here, only store we have is 4 wheel parts and that's like 45 minutes away from where I stay

    Haha, by local I meant a day trip (< 200 ish miles). Shipping can be a big decision factor.

    Mine are nfabs 3". I'm really happy with them, I like the tube look better than the boards like on a minivan... 20160221_072153.jpg 20160219_152848.jpg
