TAC Side Steps Fit 2005-2023 Toyota Tacoma Double Cab 4" Running Boards Side Bars Nerf Bars Pickup Truck Exterior Accessories Tubular Bend End Texture Black 2PCS

I have a 2020 Toyota Tacoma with the long bed. These bars fit perfectly! Hardware and brackets were in a separate box within the long box that held the boards. Driver side for both boards and brackets were in the green, clear was for passenger side. Bolts for the boards to brackets themselves were in a separate bag and labeled as such.Hex nuts, lock washers and flat washers were easy to install on the undercarriage of the truck once the clear plastic screws were uninstalled. The only tools I needed were a flat head screwdriver to remove the plastic nuts on the undercarriage and a socket wrench with a 13 mm.All holes aligned from undercarriage to brackets to boards.Took all of 30 minutes doing this myself and they look great. Extremely sturdy, I read the note on the directions in which they recommend waxing the boards to help preserve them. Once I wash my truck next I'm going to wax everything including the boards.

I love how it looks on my 23 Toyota Tacoma. It fits perfectly but there was a problem whoever returned this product, I bought it used, messed up one of the sidesteps the female thread was really bad and even some of the pe were bad. I wanted to safe some money I learned the lesson the hard way. But now that is installed not only looks great but it’s easier to get into the truck specially for my wife.

Got these running boards bcuz they were priced just right. They were super easy to install and they look great on my 2023 Tacoma! Love the look. These tac running boards feel like quality. Once installed, the height is just right where I want them( not too high not too low). the install was super easy and quick. No regrets, it’s a great buy.

These are the best bars - end of story. Period. But if you would like to know more, here it goes. In my opinion, this style of step / bar looks great. I looked at a ton of styles and debated different types, but beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and these did it for me. Minimalistic, simple and tough - to the point and not complicated. I also like the textured finish which I tried to capture in the pics. Sort of a sprayed on semi-matte texture finish. It adds a nice unpolished look that is intentionally unsophisticated. I've had these for a week and so, of course, they're holding up great - too soon to know if rust might be a problem down the road as others have said. Also, stupid easy to install. I like to take my time and really enjoy installation work like this and still the first side only took 30 minutes. The second side took 15 minutes. I tried to slow down, drink a beer and make an afternoon of it, but still I was done within 45 minutes. Breaking down the box and throwing that away, plus putting my tools away, took another 10 minutes so there you go - still under an hour. They are strong and hold my massive 180 lb frame with aplomb. Now a few tips... The first bolt or two were difficult to start and hand tighten so I sprayed WD40 on the rest to ease the installation. Not sure it was necessary, but like duct tape, Neosporin and thread lock, I like to use WD40 at least once a week on something. Second, a single 3" extension on your 12mm ratchet isn't going to cut it. I had to snag a second 3" extension from another set to reach a few of the bolts under the truck. Finally, leave everything loose until all of the bolts are in place as others have said and use a torque wrench if you have one. I don't have a small torque wrench so I just snugged everything without going ape. That's actually two tips but I figured I owed you that since everyone else already mentioned these. Now here's something most people don't seem to cover in their review. Can you actually use it as a step to make it easier to get into the truck? Definitely. I'll admit I was buying for the look but you can fit your foot on it too and the climb in becomes easier which is good if you're under 6' like me. In fact, not using it to get in and out is actually a problem now as you need to step OVER it if you don't step ON it so I'm a bit predisposed to use it more often than not. Overall, given the great looks, reasonable price and easy installation, I would recommend these bars in a second - unless you don't like them - in which case I hope you at least enjoyed this review.

Just what I ordered. Fits the Tacoma great, looks great!

I am a phenomenal a picky person and I usually don't trust any aftermarket stuff. Let's just say I'm a skeptical type. But I was more than impressed with these. They look great they were easy to install only takes a half hour. And way stronger than I anticipated. There are a couple of things you need to do to make them even better. A don't use the Supply Hardware. Use stainless bolts with thread Locker for the actual step rails. And get stronger hardened Bolt for the actual mounting to your vehicle with the brackets. I will leave an Amazon link with the proper bolts to get. This will take care of any issues that anybody has complained about in the past with this step rail. I was really pleased with the thickness of the brackets I did not expect them to be so thick and heavy and initially it was a concern of mine. I also like the fact that they are wider than the average tube Style and thus my senior citizen mother and sister can easily get in and out of the vehicle just as well as the stock steps I had. And the solid welded end caps with a nice roll it's a great touch looks-wise as well as functionally. Last but not least because these are nice and smooth and they don't have those horrendous Little Steps coming off of them my legs don't get all tore up sliding in and out of my truck. So so as incredibly rare as it is I do actually give this 5 full Stars.
