    I'm thinking of buying a set of these running boards from Amazon for $159.00. They get five stars on Amazons reviews. Just wondering if anyone purchased them and what their thoughts are.

    Thanks

    I have their bars and tonneau cover. Can't beat either for the price. You won't be disappointed.

    Cool. I didn't even know they made covers. I'm going to want one of those, too. Thanks

    I agree both are really nice for the price. I originally had a besttop trifold tonneau, but it was all plastic and didn't last a year. The Tyger trifold frame is way more solid.

    I have the Tyger tonneau cover, I don't have any complaints at this point.

    I have their steps. Came with a scrape but easy coverup. My only complaint is I have to take them off to lift the truck in the shop. Looking to get their flares soon.

    I have bought many of Tyger parts, never once had an issue. They make some really quality stuff.

    Has anyone had an issue with them rusting? I live in New England where we use a lot of road salt. Nothing cheapens anything like rust.

    I had one of their cover on my old Silverado. No complaints. Held up pretty good over 2 years.

    I live in TN so can't comment on that kind of salt, but mine look brand new a year later. I do wash the truck every week or 2 and always apply some 303 to them to keep that deep black matte/gloss look and protect them

    I bought some for my wife’s 4Runner, liked them so much bought some for my Tacoma. I really like these bars and are so much better than most other nerf bars out there. Have had both sets for about 6 months. I got both sets from Amazon warehouse for a lot cheaper than advertised price.

    I didnt buy these steps with the intent of offroading with them. More for dent protection and stuff. I just happened to take my truck offroading last sunday and accidently ended up in a rock garden. Boy... was I surprised how well they took the beating. Dropped pretty hard on a few boulders and it didn't even shift the steps up or anything. Well worth the money! I will be upgrading to real sliders soon though for peace of mind lol28238927_1714330451957706_1437866266442644614_o.jpg 28336195_1714331168624301_7057318818696282622_o.jpg 28423761_1714331265290958_6571901046431848866_o.jpg

    It's pretty straight forward, take off the end caps from the track, slide in the mounting hardware align the mounts with cover and tighten. Replace the end caps, if there is enough room to (there wasn't on mine). I had specific complications due to the way I have my hi lift jack mounted. I can take pictures if you'd like...
