    Well I'm learning nearly all 1st Gen Tundra AC Nerfs/Boards are now Rocker Mounted instead vs Frame which is a real sucky move.
    I put the frame mounted 304 Stainless Ionic 4" Oval Nerfs on my 05 AC 7yrs ago & I absolutely love them, well make that "loved" until their plastic steps crumbled apart from parking in direct sun all the time. No drill install & man they fit beautifully up near the rockers so If you choose to exit without using them (as I do a lot) there is lil to no stretching to do so even with my 5'9 stature.
    My bars still gleam like brand new by simply washing them, but Ionic simply don't sell their black replacement steps da#nit!! Grrr!
    So I figured wth, 7yrs ain't bad for $140 I paid so I'll happily buy another complete set of Ionic Nerfs just like them & save me the hastle of changing mounts too boot?
    But nope' now days it seems they are Rocker mounted too, now C'mon Ionic?
    A Corp called YHTAuto sells the same ones & yet again only Rocker Mounted.
    Iboard requires drilling into rockers from what I seen online but idk if the rocker mounted Ionic/YHTAuto bars need drilled or not?
    Sorry, out of town so Im not near my truck, these are the Ionic bars I have though. No plastic ends either, I was such a happy customer, they blew it.
    Looking into fabricating steps on them, busy times so idk yet??

    (for another truck Sadly).

    Rocking the match painted OEM ones. I was going to remove them but I actually think they're pretty clean, close to the body and don't stick out too far.

    This links for APS present line of Boards/Bars/Grilles etc.
    It includes some installation Manuals to help members here.
    Seems APS dealers don't post all the info we want & I think it's good for customers to see it beforehand.

    Tap hamburger at top right for products list or add vehicle from home.
