MaxMate 3" Nerf Bars Compatible with 2000-2006 Toyota Tundra | Access Cab | WB2T31217 | Side Step Rails Running Boards

I, like other reviewers needed to replace the (Toyota OEM) tube steps I put on when the truck was new and they were rusted severely. These are the same size (3"dia. tube) but they are about 0.75 inches lower and about 1.75 inches farther from the door than the original. That doesn't seem to be a big issue. The only advantage the original had as far as I'm concerned is that they probably protected the doors from gravel better. Since I live on a farm with a 1000 ft. gravel drive that is a concern but these will probably help more with door dings as they keep car doors farther away where even if they have a big protrusion in the middle of the door it probably still wouldn't reach. Of course it doesn't matter with truck doors as they go right over top of the steps. They seem to be comfortable as far as location, maybe a bit better than the original. These are stainless and should never rust, they are very easy to install, were packaged extremely well with no damage and good instructions. All brackets and hardware are included and are top-notch and although they don't have the middle support the original had they are very strong.

I purchased these Nerf bars for my brother's 2003 Tundra and he was extremely happy with them. He said they were perfectly fitted to his truck and went on in no time at all. He showed them off to his neighbor who contacted me right away for the information to buy some for her truck. They are beautiful!

Easy to install looks great

Bought these to replace some painted steel tubing running boards that came on my truck that rusted thru after 15 yrs. these look nice and I’m pretty sure they will be less likely to rust. The limitation of these imo is they don’t have a middle support bracket. The mounting brackets at the ends on these are not very strong and I have my doubts they will last unless I build a center support which is in the works now. ymmv

Fits a 2006 Tundra extended cab pickup… old bars rusted thru… these look good…easy to install…

I love these side rails. I recently purchased a 2004 Tundra and my wife likes riding in it more than her Mustang, we now take it everywhere. Its a great truck and extremely comfortable but it's just high enough off the ground that she had trouble getting into it. I found these side rails and thought this would be a great option instead of running boards which I'm not a big fan of. They arrived in a reasonable amount of time and were packaged very well to protect them from inconsiderate delivery persons! I looked the instructions over and found them to be fairly basic. It took me about 35 minutes to install them. They seem to be very sturdy and I find myself using them every time I get in and out of the truck too. More importantly, my wife likes them. I wanted the black ones but settled for the chrome and I'm glad I did, they look great on the truck and really dress it up. I'm very pleased with them and would recommend them to anyone

Delivered on time. Packaged perfectly. Finish flawless. Easy to assemble! Highly recommended!

The in frame anchors were difficult to install, especially on the passenger side. The passenger side anchor was significantly shorter and hard to line up. Once the in frame anchors were in place the rest was quite easy to accomplish. The quality of the bars was good and they seam very sturdy.
