Running boards for 2005 RC Tundra?

I've been reading the threads and surfing the web - but haven't found any [RC boards]. Any recommendation would be appreciated.

 

I saw some listed in this thread. You may need to dig for it.

I also have an RC, so you if you bite the bullet, please report back with pictures

 

There's also THIS thread. also, any frame mounted running board for the AC will also be for the RC

 

"any frame mounted running board for the AC will also be for the RC"

Really? Since the cab is longer for the AC, over the RC, it seems the Running boards for the AC would be longer than the Running boards for the RC? Or will the AC Running boards simply extend past the RC drivers door and run up to the rear wheel well? Sorry, just trying to make sure.

Maybe the frames for the AC and RC are the same? Thereby allowing AC boards to fit on a RC?

Sooooo much to learn. Great Forum!!!!

 

AC and RC frames should be generally the same, with variations for V6 vs. V8. That and more info over here. DC frames are the weirdo birds.

 

you know what's weird. Half a door. That's weird.

 

Perfect size for my dog = perfect size for the door.

 

Here's an RC with AC length bars. I think it looks goofy.

The OEM style for AC (courtesy of PHM) might look OK on an RC

 

Took me quite a while to figure out what (who) PHM was.

Assuming OEM will be out of my price range, I did find these. They look a little flimsy. However, I don't think mine will get much abuse. Comments?

First thought: www.car-part.com to find used and potentially even color-matching. But I'll forewarn you: If you can get them to let you remove, it's best. You need EVERY piece of hardware you can get, down to the screw; you CANNOT purchase the brackets and screws from Toyota.

Second thought: Why not just go with something like what @abcinv installed, I think these are from n-Fab: https://www.tundras.com/threads/wha...-gen-tundra-today.2558/page-1543#post-3074713

He'd also linked up these at one point that should fit AC/RC but they looked a bit sketch on quality to me: https://www.tundras.com/threads/nerf-running-board-sale-on-amazon.115139/#post-2972682
