Switching 2018 Toyota 4Runner Limited running boards to TRD
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 16 окт 2024
- Today we replaced the rocker panel and added the TRD Pro running boards. This is only applicable on the 5th generation 4Runner.
Parts needed (right and left sides):
Moulding sub-assy: 75805-35130
Moulding sub-assy: 75806-25100
Cover-rocker pan: 75857-35019
Cover-rocker pan: 75857-35010
Cover rocker pan: 75857-35010
Cover rocker pan: 75858-35010
Retainer Side Mu (14 pieces for both sides): 76924-13020
Mudguard fr fend: 76621-35150

Running boards (steel plate only): 51781-35010. This is the reference to the steel plate only for the right side. But make sure you examine full parts diagram in link below as you visit your dealership’s parts center. In my case, I was lucky to buy both running boards off of craigslist at a good deal. That’s why I don’t have all numbers for the parts needed to assemble the non-Limited trim running boards. But the diagram below should help you figure out what parts you need for the running boards.

Those rocker panels are the ONE downside to a Limited. Thanks for the video, you're the ONLY video on the tube that i can find doing this to a limited. Something that should be done far more often
No problem WorkTheTrigger, were always here to help
WorkTheTrigger they sure are a downside to it. As much as I respect Toyota, but I never get why they make things very contradictory and very complicated with these trim options. On one hand they want to keep things simple with the 4Runner to keep it reliable (hence, not too many electronics), but on the other hand they have these so many trim options on the 4Runner, even more than luxury cars like the Lexus or even the Land Cruiser.
@@elmisticco would you know if I replace the rockers would my limited boards still fit
@@anthonymedrano4097 I believe they MIGHT still fit, BUT you will need new shorter brackets (3 on each side). Again, I believe/think.
@@elmisticcothis was my question. I’ve got a limited and want to do this. If I wanted a running board that would fit a pro/trail 5th gen, would swapping my trim out make them fit?
Thank you so much for making this video! I bought the predator running boards for my limited 4Runner and went to put them on and realized I had an issue. I searched RUclips and found your video. I’m ordering these parts now 😊
Anytime! Glad I was able to help you out.
Thank you for making this video! Just did this on my 2020 Nightshade and it worked great. (I laughed when the dealership told me the parts wouldn’t fit.) This was a super simple upgrade. I ended up going with the OEM Predator tube steps which look awesome.
*Most dealerships unfortunately offer you a passive, robotic service where without handing them VIN number, they’ll be reluctant to help you b/c they’re trained to go by the book and they’re not hardwired for custom projects like this. So, you really have to do your homework and hand them over the part numbers that you need. 🥸*
I am really curious what the black trim replacement -and small 1/4 panel patch panel would look like painted body color???? I bet it would look great along with TRD side board
Dude you're the man! I bought my 2013 4Runner used, and it had been in a minor collision. The insurance company (before I bought the vehicle) replaced the SR5 trim with the Limited trim in order to save a few bucks and cover a dent in the frame. I bought N-FAB Nerf Steps in the RS edition, and of course they don't fit with the Limited trim in the way. All of my frame matches your 2018, so I'm doing this now to cover the ugly underside. Much appreciated!
No problem Todd!
I've just converted mine few days ago and ordered a rock slider. Thank you so much for making the video.
Just did this to my 2021. Thank you for this video and part#s. Literally took 30 minutes, maybe less.
hi Adam, thank you very much for posting this! got my 21 limited last year and always hated the running board. now I am going to replace them!
I appreciate this video!!!! And part numbers!!! Definitely my first mod! I WOULD love for you to post farther back pics/video of the final outcome……..!!!! You must do this for me….PLEASE!!!!!!❤❤❤❤
This mod makes a lot of sense, I cannot believe dealers are still installing the same running boards but leaving the ground effects on. They are almost useless on a Sport or Limited. I actually ordered my Limited with the auto running boards but my order got pushed back because they are not available right now for the 2023 model year.
I did this to my 2013 SR5. Thanks so much for the help!
I followed this, thank you!! I got the “kit” from shrockworks with the trim piece. I got a used TRD running board from Craigslist for $70 and made the modification. Thank you! Now I look less like an Escalade and more like a 4R!
Hey there! I k ow this post was a while ago but by kit you mean the tricked trim piece right? Also is there any possible way you could show some pictures of it?
How well did the shrockworks trim fit?
*Escalade 🤣 it can’t be better said than that. You’re absolutely right on the money 💰! 😂*
I have the 2017 limited and I want to change the running boards to the N Fab Nerf Bars to go with the roof rack already installed. Not a fan of the stock running boards. Barely any foot room as you step up into the 4runner.
I thought you'd put on some rock sliders. Great vid.
Thanks! I liked the look of the regular running boards more than the rock sliders.
THANK YOU!!!! This was super helpful! Can you please post the part numbers for all of the items you use??
Nikki McGuire Hello, I posted all the part numbers in the description of the video, im glad you found the video useful!

Much appreciation on the education here. I too have limited and want running boards but can't stand how low the "stock version" sits that can can be installed on an on a unmod'd limited trim. Can you tell me how much clearance you have with your setup (with the swapped rockers)?
*Thanks for the useful vid!*
I have a 2012 SR5 and this is what I was looking for, how to remove the stock rocker panels. 👍
I have a 2012 SR5 also and was wondering how it went?
YOUR VIDEO SO HELPFUL THANKS
Did those rocker panel come in pairs or sold separate? How much did they cost if you don’t mind me asking? Those steps do look a lot better than the limited option ones.
The other reason to go with the limited is the suspension. Much nicer on long trips. We love ours
The music killed this video
Hello Adam, my name is Leonardo and I live in Chile. I would like to request your help to be able to obtain this complete kit for changing the sills. I have a 2011 4runner Limited and in my country it is impossible to get accessories for my vehicle. You can help?
Why would you switch running boards? The Limited running boards either in bright or black are a very sharp running board. 4Runner limited looks naked without running boards...like all real SUV's.
Nice work
Yo Adam! Just want to double check, probably the same procedure when it comes to the SR5 trim? I bought a 2015 4R and it’s pretty stock atm. I really want to remove the running boards and eventually install some proper sliders. I want to try and do a walk around of my vehicle lol. Any and all input is appreciated.
Thank you kindly and merry Christmas!
How much did something like this cost to do?
Hey! Do you by chance know if there’s any way to replace the front bumper to the red ones?
Great video. This should work the same for a 2010 Limited 5th Gen as well? Thanks again.
As long as they’re of the same generation, highly likely so.
Anyone know if once you complete this could you install amp power steps made for the other model 4Runners?
Hi. Thanks for the video, I want to do this to my 2016 limited. Can you say about how much the total parts cost? Did you get everything directly from Toyota? Thanks!

Yes I got everything from my local dealer which usually matches online price. All parts (except for the running boards themselves) cost around $500. But for the running boards I was lucky to find a used pair in like-new condition at a steel price on Craigslist for about $100. I wouldn’t buy new ones as they can be costly. Just look for a used pair online. eBay May have some good deals on some used ones.
Thanks. That’s not bad. I’ll do the same for the running boards, try and find them used. Is there a way to replace the rear door-mounted portion of the flares with something that won’t stick out like the limited? I could get something from a trail or another model if it lines up to the quarter panel piece and maybe just have them painted? Thanks again
JimzOnDroid
I haven’t done that yet to my car (it doesn’t bother me), but I’m strongly confident that you can easily replace them with a “non-Limited” flairs. They only use clips most likely. But then you’ll have to paint them to match whatever paint you already have on your car (they come unpainted).You can also check a nearby junkyard as you might get lucky and find all parts needed (including running boards) at a fraction of the cost.
Thanks for this video!! Very helpful. I have a 2016 Limited and would also like to change the running board for something else.
No problem, here to help
will this work for the 2023 sport? same trim i believe?
I already have running boards on my limited that i.bought after market will they still fit if I change out the rockers?
Please let me know where I can order must flap? thank you so much
I watched this and was SO excited to yank off the ugly rocker trim! I just can't find 3/4 of the parts listed. So frustrating!
I hear ya. The description of video has all part numbers and all you gotta do work with an experienced parts store at your dealership and ask them to match other online prices. I know my Toyota dealer does that.
Will that rocker panel fits the 2011 4r limited as well?
How much did all these parts cost you from the dealer??
Damn that’s a lot of work
Will these part numbers work on a 2015?
Where I can buy the rocket panels ?
Check out your dealer, a junkyard, or online.
Yes!! THANKS!
Can anyone tell me where to get the rocker panel covers?
👌
Good vid but hard to see the part numbers because you went to fast.
Nice but why do they have to be so damn expensive
that is the off-trail edition
That music was the worst in the history of the universe. Try Gun’s N Roses or at least some Van Halen. My gosh!!!
Should've considered a Lexus GX
Edit this, get rid of crappy music and tell people what you're doing. Pay attention to sound level too
It’s obvious what he had to do. You don’t need to be a rocket scientist to understand this video, oh wait a minute I am a rocket scientist, 😂
Sorry but you too bored
that is very ugly running board, who wants this shit, it looked better without one
So glad you shared your opinion.
Great video. I am thinking of doing my 2014 Limited and using the TRD running boards to start with. I see some people used the Predator tube step. I tried to have the Predator tube step installed earlier this year at the dealer before the modification. They dealership could not do it. Does anyone have any pictures of what the end result looks like with the Predator tube step?
I was trying to look at all the parts online. It seems like the description has a few wrong numbers and duplicate part numbers. Using the video and what is in the description, this is what I came up with. Does this look correct?
Moulding sub-assy (Rocker Panel Guard Right) : 75805-35130

I completed the install and it went quite well. The video definitely helped. I count not figure out where the rocker clip fit and installing the mud guard was a little tricky. If you want to install a new mudguard you will need additional screws and clips that are not identified in the video or come with the mud guard.
At this time I do not have any part numbers.
Hi - did you ever figure out part numbers for clips for the new mud guards? I was under the impression you could reuse the clips from the limited mudguards. I just ordered these exact same parts, so now I’m worried I won’t be able to attach the mudguards
