Ya know, its kinda funny but I wanted the factory running boards but they were not available when In purchased the 4Runner. I am happy with these though. Thanks

Those look great! I'm planning on getting the same ones for my Blizzard Pearl SR5 as well. I have a question though, and pardon me if this has been answered somewhere else. I want to get the Husky mud flaps, but it says on their site that they may not fit with aftermarket RBs.
Has anyone had success with these particular nerf bars and Husky flaps? It does seem that it would be easier to do the mud flaps first and then install the bars.
Comments? Thoughts? Much appreciated!

Yes, I just put the Husky mud flaps on also, The nerf bars need to be slid all the way to the rear, but the flaps do fit. I'll post addl pics later.
One point I'll make is this. When you re install the rubber body mounts during the nerf bar install, its a good idea to spray the rubber with silicone. This will prevent any squeeking and allow adjustments back&forth, in and out of the bars

Just installed a set of these on the wife's limited - like the way they look and now my 9-year old has something to assist here when climbing in the car (better substitute than grabbing the leather seats and pulling up, or the pocket behind the front seats).

Installation does make use of factory holes. No drilling required. Installation took about 2 hours--was a little backwards at first as the instructions showed the drivers side parts as being installed on the passenger side and vice versa---once I got that straight it was relatively easy to do.
As for squeaking--I have not had any noises (been installed for two weeks now). I am 310 pounds, so I give it a healthy check each time I get in/out.
Overall I am pleased with the bars and like the added glamour added to the 4runner.
Would add that if it was not a limited I would probably have opted for a different style (but that's another discussion for another time).
The Steelcraft bars bolt to the 4 body mount bolts. When you remove these bolts take the rubber mount and spray it with silicone to re install. On my install, I also added the Husky mud flaps so I slid the step bars all the way to the rear before tightening. This did cause some squeeks due to a slight mis aligment of the body mount bolts. Thats when I took off each bolt, sprayed the rubber mounts with silicone, aligned and re installed. No more squeeks

Thanks Grizz & Big Tim!:guitar3: I'm going to order both the bars & the mudflaps. I've already installed my bug guard, vent visors, rubber cargo liner, and my leather is being installed on Friday. I'm stoked! I'll post pics shortly.
