Here are the details:

Dealer wanted $800 for factory running boards

Searching around this awesome forum found a link for factory boards on amazon, ordered them from a toyota dealer in CA, $353 shipped.

They came in 4 days.

Gathered my stuff, realized my rachet was MIA, quick trip to store and $10 later ready to go.

Laid out everything, boards, bolts, rachet, headlamp, towel, directions and ready set go...

40mins later all done, maybe would have went faster but it was just me.

Thanks to this website saved me $447, thank you.

My next mod is to plastidip the rims, then a cargo roof rack...

UPDATE...

Plastidipped rims and added the TRD skip plate

You saw the before pics above here it is currently after 6 coats of dip ( a little OCD i know, they recommend 4) and with the TRD skip plate
