Predator side steps or similar

[DeltaWhiskey]

So my wife is 5'2 and really wants me to get side steps. I like the looks of the OEM Toyota Predator steps, but they are pricy even at wholesale. I see the N-Fab ones get some good reviews as well.
Any solid recommendations?

I bought these off Amazon for the same reason. Wife didn't like sliders, so still wanted to get a full step. They fit well, except drivers side front does hit the mud flat some, but it doesn't bother me. Didn't think the price was too bad.

you can buy steps that clamp onto sliders:

Man... I tried so long to sell a set for cheap, then for free, and no one wanted them.

Ended up in a dumpster because of a move, I would have gladly given you my OEM steps.

I would make a posting in the classifieds here... people who upgrade to sliders would be in a similar position as me.

I have a set of OEM side steps on my 18 TRDOR and am about to pull the trigger on some sliders. If interested, PM me and maybe we can work out a price.

I personally hate the functionality of the nfab side steps (I have them). You have to swing your door out completely open for the steps to be useful. Otherwise, the steps are easily a solid 8"-9" too far forward. Where my foot naturally wants to step is half way on the rear arm of the front step. Some people don't find an issue with it, but a fair number of people have the same complaint.

So, with the nfab side steps, your wife still might complain lol just something to keep in mind.

Personally, I love the tyger steps but I can't get them since they don't sell them in Canada, but you can buy them at Walmart in the US for a great price.

I had the Toyota version. I thought they sucked too.

I went with these iArmor step rails from Amazon.

Cheap, easy install, and the wife and I both like the looks and the function better than the OEM running boards or the Nfab design.

I had the N-FAB step bars on mine until recently. I really wanted sliders when I bought them but I needed steps for the family and every slider had a 12 week lead time. They worked really well as steps into the back seat for my kid. I finally ordered a set of step sliders. My n-fabs are listed in the forsale section here.

Also, have you looked at the n-fab rkr rails. They look like rock sliders, bolt to the running board location and have a detachable step.

on my wife's '12 Limited i took off rockers and steps and put on BudBuilt step sliders which are straight and beefy.

I also have her rockers and steps available but haven't done anything to move them yet.

Says they don’t fit 2019? Great option though

If they fit a 2018 or 2014 for that matter it will fit a 2019. Some companies don’t update their fit guides

Logically speaking they should fit, but I’ll call them tomorrow

I recently took my stock Trail Edition running boards off my 2012. For me, they didn't do much. My 4Runner is stock height, but the location where the running board was made it awkward for me. It is too high to be a useful step. I usually just stepped right into the vehicle instead. Then getting out, I would rub my legs/pants against it all the time since it stuck further out and was pointless to use as an actual step.
