    I have stainless steel Raptor steps on my 2016 black SR5. They work vary well.

    Didn't realize the Havoc HS2 are built to order and take over 3 weeks, Ended up ordering the N-Fab podium steps. Didn't see much difference between the 2 except the Podiums cost a little more.

    I went with the APS Aluminum Drop Steps Running Boards. Though I liked the look of the carbon steel steps better, I just couldn't risk having all that salt air rusting them up within a matter of months. Thanks for all the comments.

    Havoc's are powdered coated SS. NOT carbon steel. Either way, looks great best of luck!

    I have the nfab bars and they're maybe 4 years old and they aren't holding up that great. The paint is getting a little bubbly and chipped more that I think it should

    Those look like the N-FAB NERF STEP SYSTEM bars which are steel, I had steel bars on my 05 and didn't get more than 2 years before they rusted (not N-Fab ) they were from steelcraft. Then I bought Ionic 3" bars for my current truck, they rusted out also. Earlier today I saw a 2018 taco with the aftermarket steel front and rear bumpers and the rear bumper was rusted pretty good, I really want the Body Armor HiLine front bumper but don't want to be painting it every year.... anybody out there has had this bumper for a few years and live in the wonderful northeast where they use salt on the roads? How's it holding up?
