Nerf Bars & Running Boards for Toyota Trucks
Make it easier to get in and out of your Toyota with nerf bars and running boards from leading manufacturers. We carry side steps for Toyota Tacoma, 4Runner, Tundra, and more — in round tube, oval, and step bar designs that add function and style to your truck.
Side steps serve a dual purpose — they provide a comfortable step for entry and exit, and they offer basic rocker panel protection from trail debris and parking lot door dings. For serious off-road use, rock sliders provide more protection while still functioning as a step.
Step Bar Options
- Nerf bars: Round or oval tube design — clean look with moderate protection
- Running boards: Wide, flat step surface — most comfortable for daily use
- Drop steps: Fold-down steps with aggressive grip pads — popular on lifted trucks
- Rock sliders: Maximum protection with a built-in step — ideal for trail use

Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between nerf bars and rock sliders?
Nerf bars are primarily designed as entry steps with some rocker panel protection. Rock sliders are heavy-duty steel or aluminum bars welded or bolted to the frame specifically for off-road protection — they are meant to take direct impacts from rocks and obstacles while keeping your body panels safe.
Will running boards affect my ground clearance?
Traditional running boards hang lower than the rocker panel, reducing ground clearance by 2-4 inches. This can be an issue for off-roading. Rock sliders are designed to tuck close to the body and actually protect your rocker panels without sacrificing as much clearance.
