    Hey guys,

    My wife is having trouble getting into the truck so I was looking to get some of those steps. The dealer has a couple of official Toyota parts between $600 and $1000 not installed. I see some cheaper off-brand ones on Amazon but I'm not sure if they are any good.

    I was just curious if there was a tried and true aftermarket step people on this forum like. Anything you guys recommend?

    I've got a 2018 Tundra double cab.

    Thanks!

    I picked up a pair of Speed Daddy's off eBay last week for $240 and really like them and easy to install.

    I’m partial to RCI. There was a guy here selling a set for a DC. Might check the BST thread to see if they are still available. Definitely more pricey than the Amazon brands. But I also think you get what you pay for.

    Was comparing this and Tyger Star and went with star. Not too pricey and they look good too.

    I second these. And their customer service is good, too. I bought mine from Tyger directly, then they dropped the price $20 the following week. When I inquired about this, they immediately refunded the difference. They're back to $289, but still a screaming deal. Also, I prefer the steps over the Star bars since they don't hang down as low as the bars, so I'm not losing as much ground clearance.

    Not many yet, mostly stock.
    Look at the Tiger steps they come in two different styles I have the triple bars W/ step pads or the full pads, shown above in posts #3 mine were direct bolt on no brackets to deal with. Came all welded on. Took me 30 minutes to bolt on.

    RB20s with the bed liner coating. Flat, wide, no gaps and grippy.

    I had the NFABs with the hoops (had them linexed) and was busting my shins along with my 5 yr old who slipped his foot through the gap...I like the NFAB look but they are a no go.
