tube steps

[Bacon]

I've got the running boards on my '03 SR5, and I hate the way they carry the mud/dirt back with you after offroading at all. I'd like to get a set of the tube steps or a proper set of sliders, with steps built in. No, simply removing them and leaving them off isn't an option (my fiance needs them to get into the truck). I need to have something there for her to step on to get into it. I have a few questions:

1) What years/editions can I find the factory tube steps on?
2) Will they bolt on with no modification?
3) Who makes sliders for these things?

Sport editions come with the tube style running boards. I know for a fact 06 and newer do, I am not too sure about older ones....

As for sliders, I just ordered some Schrockwork Sliders. Some of the other companies that make sliders for 4th gens are Demello, Stubbs, RockyRoad Outfitters and Hanna. To the best of my knowledge, none make them with a built in step though (it would take away from their functionality too much), however you might be able to custom order them.
