Aries vs Westin vs Steelcraft Nerf Bars
I know there has been a lot of discussion on nerf bars. I have seen the photos of the Steelcraft anyone have either Westin or Aries installed?

Which brand is the best?
Which one will not interfere with Husky mud guards?

Thanks in advance.

I know another brand called owens products. They made 4 different style of running boards for 2010-11 4runner.


I ordered the ABS molded with chrome trim, you can also make it painted to match your turck.This running board is a little bit shorter than the rocker panel, try a set of husky mud guard will make them fit perfectly.
I have both husky and rallyarmor mud guard, it seems like husky will fit better

Anyone have the Westin or Aries nerf bars?

Also will they fit if I install the Husky Mud Guards?

I have Westin running boards with Husky mud guards. The front mud guards push against the running boards but it's minimal; no modification required.

Those look sweet.
Still having a hard time deciding on either running boards or nerf bars.

OP - Pardon the hijack. I wanted the power deployed ones so my grandmother could get in my wifes truck. They don't make those for the T4R so I'd like something like our 4th generation had. This looks very close.

I assume these are the Westin Sure Grip running boards. When you search the Westin site by vehicle it doesn't show them. Do you know what size they are?

Thanks

Thanks for the pics. Any way you can post some close ups of the front Husky's and the "push" against the running boards?

Thanks in advance.

I'm out of town right now so I won't be able to post the pictures for a few days. However, you can kind of see the "push" in my second photo above. I'd guess that if you can move back the running boards 1/2-3/4 inches, the mud guards would not interfere with the running boards.
