Any Chrome Side Step Rails Recommendations

[kkdingo]

I am looking to get Chrome/Stainless side step rails for my 2010 Highlander Limited. I saw some nice Ionic ones online that do not require any drilling. Any recommendations out there? Thanks in advance.

Just added some aries 3 stainless steel side rails. part number 202015-2. they were $190 delivered from amazon. be aware that while you don't have to drill any new holes in your highlander. You have to make modifications to the brackets that come with the side rails. Megahurtsss documented this under the DIY running board section page 2.

I had to use bolt cutters to modify the front brackets and a 1.5 inch metal bit on my drill to modify the back brackets.

Took me 5 hours to do one side and the 30 mins to do the other. Small learning curve there! The info on this forum helped me a ton with adding my side rails.

Good luck with the side rails. I love the look of them on my magnetic gray highlander!

I have these on my car. You can probably pick them up for $300 + shipping and they don't require drilling. They bolt on directly to the existing tabs underneath.

I like the oval look. How long did it take to install and does that vanguard sticker in the middle of the rail come off? Thanks a lot.

I brought it to their shop to do since I live 15 minutes away. With one guy installing with a lug nut drill, it took him about an hour to unpack and install everything. I was originally going to buy the round ones but they only had ovals in stock. I'm happy with the ovals though since it gives greater surface area on top to climb in. I haven't tried taking the stickers off but it looks like it can peel off in one piece. At worst, you'd need some mineral oil to get rid of the sticky residue.
