    +2 LT up front. Kings adjustable, Dobinsons coils in the rear. Backwoods Adventure Mods bumpers and roof rack. Riding on 315/70/17 Toyo's
    Check out Backwoods Adventure Mods. I am running their sliders and they work great as a step in and out of the vehicle as well as a rock slider.
    Easy installation, can be done with one person and a floor jack.

    OP I see you are in Ohio I’ve seen a lot of predator step bars up here in MI rusting quickly (year or two old). Maybe extra washing in winter would help. Just an observation. Congratulations on the new ride

    This right here. End thread. Get what you think looks good. Nothing wrong woth predator steps at all if youre not going crazy off road.

    Question for you: did you act in a TV show from 1989-1992 about high schoolers opposite Mark-Paul Gosselaar and Mario Lopez?

    Agree with this. Great looking rig. One of ours has the predator steps. I don't like them because I rake my shin across the step every other time I get out of the car. Maybe user error.

    Hmm. I thought it was a sideways reference to my florid and dramatic writing style, with a little nerd jab thrown in. While I never acted, I can recite several Shakespeare monologues from memory, plus the first four quatrains of the Canterbury Tales. In Middle English, of course.

    But now I’m just bragging…

    Welcome from E.Pa.:hattip: I have the Predator step & like them way better then the OEM Running boards that were on my 2018 TRD OR. It's your $$$ Do what you like, but it's great to get opinions on all options too!

    You saying a better vehicle exists?

    Christian Bale is a proud Tacoma owner and he's worth over a hundred million. And it was used, first gen.
