I just got a 2010 Highlander Limited- Blizzard White, and have looked all over the internet for running boards that are thicker than the OEM. I found the ones in the picture below, but have been unable to identify the manufacturer, etc. I am sure someone out there can point me in the right direction. I also have blizzard white, so this along with the matching color mudguards would be perfect.
These are the best I have seen for my taste... check it out...
That is OEM running board as well as OEM mudflaps. Like Cashmachine reply's, trdparts4u is a good source as well many other discount Toyota part dealer.
Those are also OEM Toyota running boards but was carried by Southeast Toyota serving that region. I believe the one that was posted by OP is carried by Gulf State Toyota.
The running boards at trdparts4u seem to be the closest to my picture, but their webpage lists the item as for 2008-2009 only. I have a 2010. In addition, the picture they have does not show the whole car.
I will give them a call on Monday and see if I can't manage to get a better/full picture in addition to confirming they will fit on a 2010. I didn't find mudguards on the trdparts4u site that looked like those in my picture, but they did have some colored mudguards.

I will let you know what I find out.
Triangle, if you check out the DIY on the top page, you will find "Running Board Discussion Thread With Pictures" and a link to newtoyotaparts.com in post #14 showing the same running boards and flares. I know the mudguards are sold separately. It definitely fits 2010 HL but I don't know why trdparts4u did not include it in the 2010 HL section.
Has anyone bought these or priced them and for install?
I'm going to my local dealer with a picture to order them and have them installed, but want to know what type of pricing to expect.
Thanks

i went to my local dealer and he says the OP picture is aftermarket.
the only ones they have are black mud guards and a black running board.
not even close to looking like the picture.
looks like the Carson toyota ones are the ones to order.
any idea how to install?

i just emailed them to make sure it fits the 2010.
looks like i'll be getting them from trdparts
cashmachine - did you ever find install instructions?
did anyone ever install these? is it a DIY or will I have to take them someplace to install?
thanks
I could not find the installation instruction anymore. The company who sold this HL running boards must have gone out of business. If memory serves me right, it definitely requires drilling and removing some trims. So, unless you are really handy, I would not recommend it as a DIY. You can ask trdparts4u for a soft copy of the installation instruction as "preview". Then take it to your local shop for labor quote.
Please send a copy of the installation instruction to TrailDust to be posted in the DIY sticky so that others can benefit from it.
Good luck!

I emailed trdparts4u and they were of little help.
They said they had no other pictures other than the small one on their website.
They also said rear mudguards do NOT come with this kit, they would have to be purchased seperately.
A 25% restocking fee.
I'll inquire about install instructions, but doubt if they'll give them to me
Guess they don't care if they sell these running boards or not.
Not very impressed with them.
So I emailed Carson back to see if they could look into stocking them, I'd buy from them even if a bit more expensive. Good Customer Service is hard to find.
Triangle 300 OP: what did you decide to do? What did trdparts4u say to you?
