mud flaps & nerf/running boards 2013 SR5

[jeffjcalweb]

Hi - long time Toyota owner of many many MANY tacoma's, tundra's, cars... this is my first 4runner

Anyway reading around it appears options are limited for combining mud flaps (splash guards?) and running boards/step-up bars. i saw a few threads with some nice write ups on running boards but nothing that quite answered, or showed, what i'm trying to understand:

- are there any mudflaps that do NOT require me to drill for the front? i have just a SR5 4x4 and i do not want to drill anything (besides i suck at that stuff anyway).

- i don't have to have running boards but they are my preference...do the same 'limitations' exist if i go with just a step-up bar?

even better is, does anyone have a picture they can point to and/or specific product numbers to accomplish the above?

thanks!

The oem splash guards require drilling a tap screw in. As far as steps go you have quite a few options. In my opinion the best looking are the nfabs and you will need the adapters from Ride to accomplish this unless you cut down your skirts (which I assume you don't want to do if you don't like the idea of a tap screw). There are a few who have the nfabs here. Look through the pic gallery and if you see something you like, you can always PM the member for more info on what they have and what would be required to put the same accessory on your truck.

I have the Husky Liner mud flaps, bought them on amazon. They don't require any drilling, they use pre-existing holes. You just pop out a couple of black clips that are already there and replace them with screws that come with the flaps.

These are good and i like them, but keep an eye on them as they tend to come undone from time to time.

thanks! ordered the husky set just now. anyone have these along with the dee zee NXC running boards? looks like they can slide back into the rear wheel well if needed. if someone has both these on and can comment/confirm it would be much appreciated. will hold off on the bars on hopes someone has already put them on and confirms they will fit.

Ditto on the Husky Mud Guards. Here is an example with the DeeZee's:

Check out the Ionic CXV running boards. If I end up buying any in the spring, it will be these http://www.toyota-4runner.org/5th-gen-t4rs/152797-ionic-cxv-running-boards-pics.html
