    This is what I’ve been looking for. But the ones I find online don’t match this picture. RB20 shows little steps like a predator type. Care to share a link for these?

    Those RB20 are really nice but I was looking for something more in the $200 range if there’s anything similar

    I see you have the Sema rims and stock mud flaps? Stock height, any rubbing issues? Nice rig!

    Jimmmy1111, nice looking running boards. Do you use them, are they fuctional. Mine are similar to WRREGL, they look great but does not aid in entering or exiting the truck. When i exit i have to have a wide stance to clear the board. I could see the unit being lower but then that may become a clearance issue. I love the look, but frankly i could have done without it.

    The thing that gets me with these types of steps is you could theoretically slip your foot all the way in
    if it were wet, iced up, snowed up, etc and I suspect an ankle would snap pretty quick. Now don't get
    me wrong they look bad-azz and I like the look.

    The ones I got are deep, wide, and you ain't slipping through them.
    Quite functional for me.

    I have the OEM 5" oval nerf bars on mine. They're as much for appearance as anything else. The truck looked naked without them.

    Love those "V64WD" I am tempted to remove mine and seek those out. As NoVa said and I agree the truck does look naked without the running boards, nice looking truck.

    Old, debatable. Clumsy, very. Foot size, irrelevant - if your foot doesn't slip off, going through the hole isn't an issue. HOWEVER, if your foot did happen to slip off and go through the hole - yes, broken ankle for sure!

    I had actually got mine on a 4wheelParts deal but I don’t see it on their website anymore. Here is the actual link to the manufacturer.

    I have the Stealth Running Boards from Southeast Toyota. Had them on my previous ACLB and I loved them. Didn't have an issue with them during rain, either.

    My truck came with the cast aluminum ones from Toyota. Damn things are expensive. The most expensive one they sell. I had no idea until I looked them up.

    pros: grippy as hell and will last forever.

    cons: not really useful for getting in. They do help but now I feel like the truck needs a lift. They can be ankle wreckers when getting out.

    I bought a used set of the 2nd gen running boards and ran those for a few weeks, but I just found a great deal on the cast aluminum boards and put those on instead. I will say I prefer the way the 2nd gen boards cover the pinch welds, but I like the coating on the cast aluminum better. Now I just need to sell the 2nd gen boards to get them out of the garage
