That's the easiest as it takes the shipping aspect out of it. Price? Pics?

Just got back from UPS and brought them in... 70 bucks to package plus 160 to ship to Boston :Cry: Didn't expect it to be so high.

*SOLD*Sorry to hijack but I am getting rid of the running boards off my 2015 trail edition. They were on the truck for 3 months and are in great condition. I am asking $200 and the buyer pays shipping & packaging (located in lakewood, co 80227). Paypal only as form of payment.

I've been thinking about getting running boards for my 2016 4Runner, because my wife is having trouble getting into the vehicle. But I'm concerned that they would cause clearance problems or get torn up when I'm off-road.

I literally drove from the dealer to home after I bought my 2016 TE last week and removed the factory running boards. Just waiting for my 15th post to be able to post an ad up for them.

They all mount in the same holes.
-However-
Different models have different plastic trim pieces that hang down different amounts below the rocker panels. All Trail, TRD Pro, and late SR5 (2014+) models have narrow plastic trim. All Limited and early SR5 (2010-2013) models have wide plastic trim. The wide plastic trim also has a metal bracket with metal braces bolted to the rocker panel.
Running boards and rocker slides for the wide trim have to hang lower down to miss the plastic, or else you have to cut the plastic for it to fit. The wide board brackets nest inside the existing trim brace pieces. The boards on my SR5 hang down farther than the frame and are almost lowest points under the vehicle.
You can put the low-hanging running boards on a model with narrow trim, but there will be an air gap between the bottom of the plastic and the top of the running board. The boards look like they are floating way below the vehicle which looks wierd. Also the brackets may not connect perfectly because the trim brace pieces won't be there.
Your 2016 SR5 has the narrow trim and needs the high-mount running boards. My personal recommendation (based on experience) is that if you ever have any thought to ever going off-road you should skip the running boards and go straight to structural rocker slides for protection. Your profile says "Bay Area", so BAMF is local: 67" 4Runner Sliders

Awesome! Thanks so much for the advice. I think I'm in the same predicament a lot of people are in with this truck. I want something that makes entry/exit easier for my family, while still providing for protection for offroading.
From my research it looks like there's not really a perfect dual duty solution.
Good steps will hang lower and will be further out from the body so kids can climb up a bit easier.
Good sliders are tight up against the body and are higher up than steps so they don't get snagged on rocks etc.

Based on my research, the best compromises are sliders by Shrockworks (flat plate option), or C4 Fab.
The Shrockworks are better as steps while C4's provide more clearance for off road.
The Shrockworks stick straight out with a flat step plate, so are basically structural running boards. They have the lowest step height of any slider. But because they stick straight out you lose some clearance.
The C4 Fab's have an angled outer tube like typical rock slides, but add a flat step plate on top of the outer tube.
See pictures and more info here: http://www.toyota-4runner.org/5th-gen-t4rs/195991-consolidated-slider-info-thread.html
It depends on which look you prefer, what you spend more time doing, and whether the people needing the steps will stay the same height (i.e., short adult) or will get taller (short kids).
Anyone know the part numbers for the bolts that attach the six brackets to the underside of the truck?
It looks like there are twelve bolts but there are multiple part numbers For running board bolts on the toyota store I assume due to the various styles of boards.
I'm buying some used boards tomorrow to install as I wait for my sliders to be built but having a hard time locatong the part numbers for the bolts.
I think this is it? Is there just 12 of the same bolt? I thought there were different lengths?

Man this is an old thread! Are people actually looking for Trail running boards? My '16 TEP came with them installed for which I paid a bunch but I hate them. If I could sell them, I MAY be able to talk the wife into taking them off "her" truck and going with a slider with a step.
IF anybody wants 2016 Trail running boards in CA Lemme know.
