Does anyone have these factory style running boards from ebay? Before I order them I just wanted to know: about the quality of these, how easy they mount, it says they're made from abs plastic resin? So is there any metal on these at all and is the chrome just on the plastic?

They look good to me. My running boards just used 6 bolts in the factory locations. If you look under your truck you will see the holes the they will bolt up to.

Welcome to TN!
I think those are after market plastic step tubes. They are NOT the ones from Toyota.
The ones from Toyota are Steel.

Ya, that's true, they aren't toyota ones, but they still look nice.

I'm buying the one's from http://huntertruckwholesale.com/. A few people on the forums have them and are happy with them. They're steel, not plastic, and look like the same design as those.

I like the looks of those and they are tight up against the bottom of the cab. They are definately plastic, I would worry about the chrome staying on them but they are "lifetime" warrantied. Of course that is only as good as long as the company lasts. I have seen those on the road but I thought that they were steel or stainless, maybe some are??

I have a set of running boards for an 05 on up double cab for sale. They are the silver factory ones. They only have 50 miles on them. Came with the truck. Anyone interested make offer. Will ship.
