running boards/step suggestions

Hey
I removed the OEM running boards from my 2015 Trail and I am looking for a replacement that is is a little more "stealthy". The OEM had a chrome strip along the length and that just wasn't going to cut it. I think I want a minimalist look with just a step at the front and rear door. Any suggestions?

If you don’t off-road you want to look at Nfabs, if you do off-road you might consider shrockworks or C4 fab though they are both full length.
 
I am in the process of adding sliders or a nerf bar as well..Sounds like NFab would be good for you..

I was considering just a step as well,but I am leaning towards the Shrockworks version with the steps built in.

My running boards on my Limited had a chrome strip and was very wide. I removed the chrome strip, cut off 1 inch of the overhang and painted it black. I like it now.
 
Domello Rock Sliders

I have the Domello straight, ordinary rock sliders. The straight round rail makes a pretty good step. Most of the sturdy rock sliders being offered will provide a step and protect the rocker panels from off road damage.
Nerf Bars with steps are fine for urban driving but those side steps protruding out will become a hazard if you're sliding over boulders, logs or any high spot.

I would love to find someone from Pennsylvania that is sick or their factory ones......would love to simply have a set of used Toyota ones.

Any recommendations for 2018 TRD Pro? Looking for a nerf style running board. I won't be doing any crazy off-roading so no worries there.
 
I installed Carr II hoop steps on my 2014 even though manufacturers say it’s not compatible. I’ve had them on for a few weeks and are very solid. I don’t foresee any issues with them in the future.
 
What about Predator minus the steps

I am thinking about buying the Pro Predator steps and cutting off the steps and then refinishing the cutoff points and repainting. Wish someone had a picture.... may be even a doctored one just to see what it would look like. This will help hide some of the visible undercarriage.

Amp Research Power Step if you're looking for functional and stealthy. Disappears when doors are closed.
These are the ones I am getting, or the ones that fold into another step. But I need to research the length between a newer T4Rs doors and wheels that way I can figure out how to fab them up to a "2006" sport edition T4R.

I got the Tyger steps off Amazon. Sturdy, reasonably priced and I think they look great. I may eventually get a set of sliders, but for now I’m pretty happy with them.

I love these Tyger steps. Just took them off my 17 Pro and putting them on my 2020 Pro when I pick it up today. Love the finish on them. Mine are still like brand new after 2 years being in my 17. Considering the crappy weather we get in Pa.

That chrome does look terrible. I bought my LE without a step bar and added the one from the Nightshade.
