TAC 3” Side Steps Running Boards Texture Black Compatible with 2019-2024 Toyota RAV4 SUV Side Bars Nerf Bars Off Road Accessories

I just bought my 2024 Rav4, 9/13/2024 and my boys almost face planted a few times getting out of my Rav4. I chose these since I like nerf bars and they are perfect. Took about 2 hours to install. The directions are not too good but I found a video on YouTube that showed exactly how to install these on a Rav4 which helped greatly. My boys love them and they look great. I can't speak on longevity as they just got installed today, 9/28/2024, but will update if there are any issues.The bars were packaged really well and besides missing one 10mm lock washer, which we ironically had one laying around, everything was great.I would recommend these.

My husband installed these on my 2023 Rav4 LE (blacked out option). He said the install was fairly simple after watching the youtube video. He is very handy though. I like the sporty look and its nice to have a step. No issues since installation.

Fairly simple to install, although they shorted me one bolt, which was not crucial. They look great, and appear to be very sturdy.I recommend searching YouTube for tutorials, before attempting this install,as the instructions are different to follow.Mike

Overall rails are of high quality. They feel sturdy, and all the holes matched up.The instructions were a bit harder to follow, and the pictures seemed that they could have been of high quality. I will say I put these on a hybrid, and while they fit up just fine, there is a slightly different layout on the passenger side near the rear that threw me for a while.For those of you with a hybrid, they do fit perfect, but on the rear there is some thin sheet metal that you need to cut away for the rear mounting hole.My only real complaint is the hardware. It felt rather cheap, I never could get the nuts to tighten to the point of no longer turning. I stopped as I was fearful of breaking the heads off but there was always another full turn available.Also the L shaped bolts that go into the mounting holes are not the best engineering. While I'm not sure how else it can be done, we had some major issues with a couple of the rear mounting bolts not staying in place and sliding out. On thing is the plastic squares that hold it in place don't seem to stay well. Maybe if they were metal or some how welded to the bold (similar to the front mount bolts) it would work better.Overall I'm happy with the product and it makes the Rav4 look complete.

The media could not be loaded. These running boards were a perfect for my 2019 Rav4 and has good grip. It took a total of 2 hours with some help from a second person. Could’ve been less if we had two tools to cut the plastic with underneath. I didn’t have to mod anything about them. I definitely recommend watching Installs and Pitfalls video “Tac side steps” installation video on YouTube before hand. It made it easier for two amateurs to get the job done without having to remove too much plastic.

Bought in September of 2023 but as is evident from the photo above that water has penetrated and rusted the inside and sloshed it’s way through the upper step seal and is staining the running board tube on the passenger side.Update: 08/23/24 - Due to excellent customer service and support I received a complete replacement for my vehicle and with the experience of previous installation was able to remove the old and install the new in less than 1 hour. It looks great again. Thank you for the excellent recovery.

It takes some patience and time to install but worth it.

Update: Contacted customer support and they solved all my issues and concerns. After few exchanges of emails and photos they replaced rusted parts. It is always appreciated when company keeps the word regarding warranty.Original review:It looks good when it's brand new. Then it rusts. My car is parked in the garage. It's dry and clean. I wash my car often in winter, so it's not the salt. Disappointed. I really liked the look and sturdiness of those steps. But this rust just ruins it.
