I am not a very handy man... are these easy to install or do I have to take them to the shop and pay another 200 bucks to get them installed?
If possible, can you please take a closer picture? I am also looking to get some tires and rims what do you have?
Thanks in advance
Moe.

I still have stock rims and the dunlap tires. I am looking at getting Duratracs. There are many threads to look through on this forum to see all the different types of tires used.
When I called N-Fab, the said they were easy to install, just three or four bolts on each side. I had a shop put them on because I have nowhere to do it myself, cost $75.

I was able to find the following side step.

It's not my first choice as I like the nerf bars a lot but they are my a bit expensive.
Any ways, what do yo guys think of the side steps in the link?
Has anyone bought them before?
I am looking for something around 300 bucks or so.
Thank u.

I just called back the manufacturer. These Side Steps suck big time. Don't even waste your time nor money. No support in the middle and they look like they could last 2 months max before they bend or rust. Be aware.
Any idea how difficult it is to apply these to a SR5? I think they look great and would love to add them to my classic silver SR5.

As I understood these N-Fab steps are ONLY for the TE. I don't know if they can be adapted to the SR5 or Limited.
I purchased those same N-Fab "Wheel to Wheel" Nerf Steps for $330 (includes Free shipping). Here is the link: N Fab Toyota Wheel To Wheel Nerf Steps 01-04 Tacoma Double Cab (3" main tube) - 5' Bed
These are the easiest steps to install, you just need a socket wrench to take out existing bolts. Then hold the Nerf Steps in place and add the supplied bolts and washers. 5 bolts per step.
Tip: Buy a bottle of Loctite® 243 (threadlocker) and apply on the threads of the bolts, just to make sure they don't come loose over time.

I got them for my TE as well and they really do help, gives the 4r a tougher look. I'm just a little wary about the possible rusting but will have to wait and see. I was also worried before I got them that they may stick out a bit but they are just fine. It does add some protection from door dings in crowded parking lots as well.
