Predator Side Steps

Getting ready to pickup a new TRD OR, and wanting to order some Predator style side steps for it. I like the look of these, but not sure how they'll actually look on the vehicle. Does anyone have a pic of your 4Runner with these actual steps, or something similar that you can share? Thanks!

Check out flo_runna_ on ig if you want to see them on lifted setup. He has them and the reason I bought them last week. I’m not setup with lift yet so it’s kinda basic looking on mine right now.

 

Make the dealer add them. Wait till you get your best deal, then right before you sign, say...wait, I want the steps. They will try and change 500 some and say nope, toss them in or I walk. Worked for me

 

Here they are, the Predator steps from Toyota.

 

Were they just bolt on? Easy to install?

 

I've had those on a past 4Runner, and really liked them. The height of the step was perfect for me. As much as I like them, I have a feeling that's what I'll end up with, but wanted to explore all options. Is yours stock height or lifted? That's exactly what I'm picking up next week.....

 

I didn't know if I'd like them, but they are fine for me...plus they have the 3 yr. warranty like the truck. I had a different set on my Tacoma and they showed signs of corrosion, Toyota stood behind them. If anything happens to my Predators like rust spots, I'll take them to a friend who does powder coating. Lots quicker than waiting for Toyota.

 

That was my thought as well......

 

Oh sorry. I read predator steps and posted.

 

Simple! 6 bolts per side. No jack needed. Just removed the back baby mud flap with a philips screwdriver. And took out a few stock bolts.

 

Exactly this

 

Same here until the wet weather hit. When you don't use the step, one can get out of the rig and not get the pants wet like tube steps do. Works for me

 

No worries!! I still really like those side steps, especially since I've had great luck with them in the past!! I still might go that route.....

 

Sorry I didn't get back to you earlier, got busy cleaning garage. It is lifted with a RevTek 3" front- 2" rear spacers, kit#432. It's hard to tell sitting at the weird angle I was on in the pic.

 

Cool deal. Height looks just right to me!

 

Here's mine with the steps.

 

Do most of you not off road? these would be the worst thing you could have on in a rocky section....buy a true slider, so if and when you hit it, it actually protects the vehicle and doesnt get hung up on every object that touches it.

 

I almost got them on mine but opted for the standard black side steps. My reasoning was that I didn't want my children scraping up their legs on a cheese grate. Well, I now regret that decision. Really jonesing for some preds.

 

I had those standard black side steps on a previous 4Runner, and hated them. The step-in seemed awkward. The predator steps seem to have a reasonable step-in height for me and the wife, so I'm happy with them. I don't offroad, so I didn't need to worry about having true rock sliders.
