    First off Happy Thanksgiving tw.

    So I come with this question; should I get sliders, from the bamf holiday sale, or the nfab 3" tube side steps? I know the first reaction would be to get sliders but I'm really not going to do any serious off-roading to warrant them but they're strong and beefy. The nfabs aren't nearly as strong but they do provide the step that my wife and daughter would like. And I like the look of some of the tacos on here with the nfabs, but I haven't seen any too many dclb's with some sliders to see if I like them with or without the kick out. So any info, opinions, and pics would be greatly appreciated. My truck still looks like the sig below, except the grille is grillcraft and the surround is flat black. Thanks again.

    No off roading, get the nfabs. Any serious off roading, get sliders. I had nfabs when I had my Taco with no complaints. Sure, many will say the sliders could be used as steps, but you still have to stop up higher than you would an actual step bar.

    These were the nfabs on my truck.

    As stated above. Sliders if you off road. Nfabs if you don't.
