Hey, Thanks Jeff! :thumb:
The n-Fabs are trail only, you either have to make or purchase some spacers to fit a 2010-2013 SR5 or Limited.
How to make the spacers:

Hey, Bob I noticed that the N-Fab Nerf Bars have 6 holes. Why 5 bolts on each side?

Only one bolt is used in the front. No 6th hole in the T4R
Okay, this is what I've found...
There seems to be quite a few of us looking for the running boards that are seen on the red Trail Edition on Toyota.com. These are the ones in question:
I called Toyota and spoke with their Accessories Department and came up empty handed. After searching the net and talking to a few dealers, it appears there are only (2) types of OEM running boards that are sold as a complete set. Neither of them are the ones shown above.
A search of ebay also showed only 2 types that could be bought as a set. The search did show these however, and they are, in fact, the ones shown above:
Speedy Gomez posted a photo of a dealership selling 4Runners with these particular running boards on them as seen here:
I contacted Wolfchase Toyota and the Parts Manager stated that in order to get these particular running boards, you would have to buy each individual piece shown on the Parts Diagram listed above. As a result, I was quoted a cost of roughly $825 PER RUNNING BOARD!! That's insane!

No kidding. I bought a set from another member here. Sounds like this is the only realistic way of getting a set. No way in hell anyone is going to pay Toyota's asking price for these.
Find someone selling a used set or someone who upgraded their running boards. Otherwise, aftermarket is your best bet if you don't like the 2 types that Toyota sells as a set.
I dont understand whats up with toyota, maybe this craziness with the RBs will be resolved later this year. if I were to hazard a guess, the dealers still have a big inventory of the older RBs that they want to get rid off. the RBs we are all looking for is not only one of the better good-looking RBs, but its pattern/design is identical to the 2014 4runner 'rear door step'.

Or just get it from Canada...I think someone here confirmed that they are the standard running boards that come on the Canadian SR5 and TE models since forever. The grass is always greener on the other side, lol.

Update
Hey guys, I decided to get the aftermarket T1064R-TX N-Fab Wheel to Wheel Textured Black Nerf Bars for $310 at the door from Auto Customs like the ones pictured on the top. They are a direct fit to my 2014 SR5 4X4 4Runner. The guy from the shop said that it would fit my truck if it's a 4X4. It only uses 5 bolts. I'm glad I bought these. They look sweet!

:rockon: :naughty: :banana: :thumb3:Almost all the TE and SR5's have these ** IF ** the running boards are put on the truck at the factory. The problem is, Toyota does not sell these as a set. You have to buy them piecemeal or part by part to the tune of $825 per running board. Why did they do this, I have no idea as these are not some high end part but rather, they simply match the truck the best.
Odd, I got a quote from a Gulf States Toyota dealer of about $350 for a set. Could be a different distribution set up in your area. OR could have been misquoted with the incorrect part. Go figure.
Although have not ordered them yet, kinda liking those N-Fabs!!
