2014 4Runner

Thanks, I'll take a look. Does anyone know if moving the power running boards avoids the warranty in any way? Thanks again.

I haven't seen the power boards in person but that may be a possibility as well. IIRC, I had to do the very same thing on a few Amp/Bestop power boards too. See if the board itself has a track or rail that the arm assembly bolts into. If it does, you should be able to loosen just the board and position it where you need it.

i think moving the auto RB's will entail drilling new holes for mounts. i think they mount on the existing holes that the regular RB's attach to.

Not correct. They slide back quite easily. No need to drill anything at all, so I'm not sure how it would void any warranty. There are 4 bolts that attach the board to the hangers. Loosen, slide back, tighten.
 
Has anyone seen any information as to 2015 colors this fall? I have previously searched, but only the TRD Pro press release comes up.... My Jeep alternative lifestyle lol, usually leaks color availabilities months in advance. I know this is a 2014 thread, but would some have waited if they knew, say... Mica, or some of the FJ colors became options. I may be a few Gens back, but hope to purchase a 5th soon.
 
Hello fellow members, here's my new ride, Limited Magnetic Gray with Redwood interior. Hoping to start with some addition soon like running boards, mud guards, floor mat liners, bug deflector, window visors, the basic stuff.

My 2014 Trail Edition

Picked this up in November. Traded in my '06 Xterra. No major options - mainly dealer stuff - tinted windows, roof rack cross rails, auto dim rear view mirror, premium floor mats, chrome exhaust tip. Still waiting on some nfab rock sliders.

Inferno red, black, and white. Funny thing is, I stopped by my local Toyota stealership today checking out a 2014 T4R. Many of the sales guys haven't even heard they were coming out with the Pro Series.
 
Hmm not sure .095" tubing is going to take much abuse. Most of the actual protective tubing over .125", shrockworks uses .134".

Depends on the diameter of the tubing. .095" on 1 1/2" tubing is just as strong as .125" on 2 or 2 1/2" tubing. Everything comes down to a compromise between maximum strength and light weight.

In hindsight I am wishing I had gone this route with the detachable steps instead of the standard Nfab step bar. Not that I have anything against the step bar. I just didn't even know what a slider was until I had already ordered it.
 
So you are saying that you believe thin wall narrow tube will take more force than thick wall large diameter tubing? This mechanical engineer is going to beg to differ...

Forget about the tubing strength, I'm more interested in where it actually bolts on to the vehicle. If it's the same place where the NFAB side steps bolt on, then don't worry about the tubing material because I doubt that's the weak point in this equation, lol.
