    Truck looks good. :thumbsup:

    I’ve got the Predators on my 2nd Gen and I can say these are probably the most functional out of all the OEM models.

    Also, they call them Predator Steps because the prey on the blood of your shins. Ask me how I know....

    Not enough bandwidth on the internet to list.
    Predators were on my truck when I bought it and at first, I thought I might lose them and replace with something different, preferably some sliders. Sliders are definitely a bit overkill for my purpose but as the weeks wore on, I have really taken a shine to the Predators. My wife definitely loves them, along with the new grab handle, since she's a crummy lil' midget and I find myself getting use of them when jumping aboard and most of all, when it comes time for cleaning the windshield! I do that very often and they are instrumental in reaching the center of the windshield without risk if leaning on and scratching up the finish on the fenders. I have never dinged myself on them...as of yet. They seem to positioned just fine for me.

    Good choice brother, I really like mine too and so does my smoking hot 5' 2" trophy wife. I have them on both my Taco and my FJ.

    I liked my predator steps but bent the mess out of them and got sliders. They live a different life now:D

    I love the Predators so much I made them a condition of purchase. I don't offroad and think they look edgy. My wife is also vertically challenged and she loves them as they are actually functional. Tube steps are too high, too close to the body so that if you actually step on them the toe of your boot bumps the paint, and they look dumb. I like the welded one piece aluminum construction as I live in the salt belt and mine are on their 2nd Tacoma and after 3 winters still look great.

    Know this well... mine are gone.

    :rofl::rofl::rofl:

    They are the best looking option from the factory. If I wasn't almost 6' tall, probably would have kept them. Love the look with or without.

    Killerooking truck by the way. Wheels really set it off.

    Yeah, but a significant percentage of Taco owners did not buy these trucks to go rock crawling. Those of us that have Predator bars have zero expectations that they are suitable for hard core off roading.
