What side steps are recommended on Amazon?

New 4 Runner owner (20 year Tacoma owner). I have stubby little legs at age 71, I'm looking for side steps front only OR full set to include back seating. Amazon recommendations? Easy install?

 

I have no experience for these on Amazon. You could get factory ones from the dealer or maybe used. In sure people sell their stock ones when they out sliders on.

If you happen to live in the Bay Area I would be happy to lend a hand of you need installing.

 

A friend of mine purchased these awhile ago. For the price I was very surprised. They seem to be well built and look great.

 

Cheap but you'd need someone to install them because they wouldn't bolt right up.

There's no way those would mount on a 4R. If you look at the mounting brackets on the steps in post #3, that's what a 4R mount needs to look like.

 

I've used this. But back in the day they were way cheaper.

Look at the applicable years.4Runner 1984-1995

 

If you are looking for cheap you can keep an eye out for somebody selling hte factory predator steps. Lots of dealers put them on and guys take them off (I did). They are very light aluminum and bolt right up to existing holes in the body.

Second choice I would look to some of the well known aftermarket vendors - Westcott, RCI, Cali Raised, etc...

 

You guys got no imagination. He's looking for cheap.

I will say that I know personally that the factory Predator steps will take a licking and keep on ticking. Personal experience. Watch eBay and you'll find'm used for pretty cheap.

 

As steps the regular running boards are wayy better than the predator steps... They don't cut you and provide an easier step.

Here are some used ones on ebay
