7000 Mile Review on the Trailhunter (Off Roaders Review)

Telling the Difference Between a 3rd Gen OEM Side Step and That of a 4th Gen OEM Side Step

One of the few mistakes some new owners do make, is not kmwoing how to differentiate a 3rd Gen OEM steps from that of a 4th Gen. There isn't much of a difference but the little difference there is, makes the 3rd Gen steps not compatible with a 4th Gen Tacoma. For 3rd Gen steps, the rail mounts horizontally to the ground. The steps for 24+ are angled to the rocker panel and the steps are mounted to the bottom rail with plastic side covers. Shared a photo of both the 3rd Gen side steps and that of a 4th Gen so owners can be able to spot and tell the difference. 3rd Gen 4th Gen

I posted this a few weeks ago, and forgot to share it on here!

Solid truck, with a few issues to speak of. All in all, I love it and cant wait to get it back. (Its been gone for 2 months getting custom work done). I will have it back next week and will really start diving into a very impressive truck build.
