I ran some awhile back, yes they're 16's but only sr5's can use them. You can also see no running boards, so not really thread jacking.

off topic, but what kind of rims do you have there?
To each their own. Depends on how tall you are, if your rig is lifted, tire size, etc.. I'm 6'2" and tr4 is still at the stock height. For me, those running boards are completely useless. Actually they are worst than useless because like the other guy, I tend to get crap on the back of my pants from them when stepping out, especially this time of year and I do think most 4runner look better with them off. The only reason mine are still on is my wife is only 5'3" and finds the step and grab handles very useful

What kind of rack do you have on here? Sorry to be so late and off topic but it looks like a great half rack and I couldn't resist asking. Thanks

Took mine off. I never used em and I always got crap on my leg from em
iirc, it was 6 12mm bolts per side plus one electronic connector (limiteds have lighted boards. )

Looks sweet without them. This is my next after-dark (after work) task. Thanks

Hell, it could be a quick before work job, took me all of 20 minutes and only that long because I kept having to spit out dirt, the rain had turned my road into a mud hole.
Sorry to post up on an older thread but I couldn't find any newer ones about the running boards. I just purchased a 2006 Limited and I'm really interested in removing the running boards but I see they have lights on the front and back of them...guessing this is a Limited feature. So if I choose to remove them what kind of electrical problems will I be running into? Thanks all, really excited to be a part of the 4 Runner community!

Remove them, cut, and cap the wire. Should have no issues if you seal up the end and tuck it away in the frame hole it comes from.
I decided to use the wire and install Rock Lights on either side.
Lights up the whole ground when you walk up and unlock the truck. Even retains the Dimming ON/OFF feature.

I love that idea, I appreciate that!
A little before and after when the wife and I bought our 4runner a few years ago. I'm 6'0" and she's 5'4". We both hated the steps. We always hit our shins or ankles getting in and out. We kept the steps for whatever reason and may put them back on when our 6 month old grows up a little bigger, to help him get in and out.
