My wife's Wind Chill Sport Premium was originally built with the predator steps, which the dealer was kind enough to remove. I was on the fence about adding them anyway and figured this would give me the option of aftermarket or OEM after delivery. Now that we have it, I do like the clean look of it without them. My wife is on the shorter side and this is her daily driver. With the current Toyota Parts sale and the additional discount code found on this site I can get the cast aluminum steps delivered in my area for $633 out the door! Obviously this is basically half off MSRP! These are probably the only ones we would considered because of the cleaner look and they are closer to the underbody unlike the tube steps. I've searched the forum and found multiple photos with these steps on them but its still hard to picture on the white. If anyone has a Wind Chill with the cast aluminum steps on theirs, would you be kind enough to post a couple of pics to give a better visual?

That's a hell of a deal for the cast aluminum steps! Share the link with us please.

Here is ours with the aluminum TRD running boards (only pic handy on my phone). Great if you’re looking for a more streamlined look.

Yes, works well for us. I don’t think it’s quite as wide as the OR OEM boards but it’s perfectly fine for us. It’s my wife’s primary car (mostly in-town driving) and we had the predator steps like OP. She likes the TRD better.

go rhino rb20 are a good alternative. just dont get the slim version. slims are like 4.5 inches in width total vs the normal sized ones at 6.5 inches width.

that total width does NOT include mounting loss

black painted is like $575 and bedliner coated is like $800

real truck has free shipping
