I like them but since I actually use the 4wd in my truck also need something sturdy. Any comments?

 

Those are nice but for about $200 less you can get these on Amazon free shipping

And they are VERY sturdy and look great!! I have had them on my 18 CM SR5 TRD for about a week now and I love them. Side note they work great off road. I went over a sand/mud hill and almost bottomed out and the bars hit the top of the hill and held up great just got full of mud.....

 

Thanks for the info! I looked at your profile pic, but I can’t see the bars well. Would you mind posting a pic of them on your truck?

 

Thanks! Those look great, thank you.

 

Yeah no worries! Like I said before I love them!!! Only took me about 45min to install myself!

 

Aww can't get them in canada

 

They won’t ship to Canada?? That sucks! Check out tygers web page and try there.

Good call. Amazon.ca doesn't have them. Probably because of prime lol

 

Is your truck the crew max or the double cab?

 

Double cab

I got that far too but when it comes to shipping options its u.s. only :s

 

I would send them an inquiry if they would be willing to ship to it wouldn’t hurt to ask. Even with a little more $ they are still cheaper and better quality than most all others like them out there! Or just call them that works to

 

Thanks for the help. Your truck looks great! That sold me on them

 

Yeah no worries!! I joined for this reason! We are all here to help out! Any other questions let me know!! This is my first Toyota truck and I’m loving it so far!!! Came from a ‘13 f-150 ecoboost and have never been happier to make the switch!

 

I have these Tyger bars on my truck as well, cant say enough good things about them

 

Do you have a leveling kit on your truck?

 

Yes, just 2.5" front leveling kit

 

I have had the Iron Cross bars on for a bit under two years. I really like the way they look. But I've sort of beat the sh*t out of them. I torqued them a bit one day in high snow/mud and after that they started to peel - but this would happen to any bars I think. A car hit me (actually the bars) and the back plastic popped off the passenger side back end and then was run over and smashed as I was walking back to pick it up. (that sucked) The badges on it have been stolen (I park on the street in the city).

Besides all of that, I would buy them again. They look great with the stock truck, and though I like they nfab bars and similar styles, I felt these looked out of place on a stock truck.

 

I am looking to put one on my truck I’m just a little skeptical since I tow a 31’ trailer with it as well. I don’t want the front end to be sticking out in the air when I tow

(Just as a side note, I would black out your license plate on your pictures of your truck)

 

So basically if a car runs into my truck and hits me in the running boards something will happen? Lol sorry but that’s funny. Not your luck, THATS not funny.
Thanks for the info and the boards look as good as I thought they would!

 

Mine sits almost exactly level without any weight on the back end. So if you tow or put any weight in the bed, the nose would definitely point up. Just food for thought.

 

Yeah that’s what I figured I may just go with a 1.5” or 2” just to be on the safe side. I also have the equalizer hitch on it as well so that should make up the difference! Thanks for your help!

 

I just placed an order for a set of these exact step rails for my 19 PRO. My wife has a hard time getting in the truck. And I like having them for myself as well. The Tygers seem to be pretty high quality from everything I have read about them. Great reviews.

 

@Bad Cow

Did you order them from Amazon? Direct from Tyger, they're $50 cheaper and also free shipping.

 

Yes I did order them from Amazon. Here's what happened. I ordered a set from Amazon called OEDRO, looked about the same but were cheaper. When they got here they were for a DBL Cab not a Crew Max. They only had 3 mounting points, so I had to return them. That's when I spotted the TYGERS. So yes, I guess I paid more at Amazon. Never thought to check out the TYGER site. Oh well, live and learn.

 

Sorry, I thought I might have mentioned it soon enough to do something about it. I'm sure you'll enjoy the bars and they have great customer service, if you ever need it.

 

It's all good buddy. Not the first time I overpaid for something. I should have researched them more before buying from Amazon, but you know how that goes. They should be here tomorrow.

 

Those look very similar to the OEM stealth boards.
Go with the OEM.
