At 66 I need these to get into my 2024 rav4 woodland. Only disadvantage is up here in ND reduced clearance in the snow. The black looks good with my black color too. Nice video sir.
Yeah that's true with the clearance, although the brackets are pretty much inline with the tires
Bro, you saved me a lot of money. I was going to pay someone to do it. Your instructions made the installation easy . Thank you so much! :)
You're more than welcome! That's what it's all about! Thanks for watching and the tip 💪🏼
Awesome and very helpful video...I too appreciate that you showed that you can cut the plastic stuff without removing all the undercovers from the car first (which looked like a major PiTA)
Yeah it just popped in my head to cut it out, I'll always try to get out of extra work if I can 😂
Thanks I appreciate the time and headaches you saved me instead of taking my whole undercarriage off 🙂
Glad to have helped, I started looking at it and decided there had to be a better way lol out comes the utility knife
I just got my running boards for my new 2023. I'm about to put them on. Thanks for the video.
Awesome! We've really enjoy having them, if you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask 💪🏻
Cheap parts from China are always cheap in quality and price, and everyone buys them, including me.
They seem to be holding up so far, but they're definitely not $1000 rock sliders from a US fabricator
@Installs and Pitfalls The US versions are really not that much better. They all rust once the protective black coating gets worn. I would have purchased the exact same as you did. Nice job.
Amazing and extremely helpful video. I appreciate the different camera angles. Thank you!
Thank you so much! I am glad it was helpful.
Thank you
Incredible how you showed each step
Thanks, we try our best. Sometimes it works out better than others 😅
I wish everyone did this. So many guys just skip the first few steps and move on
man that's super easy to install it I have RAV4 2018 but I need a different steps I like black like yours, thanks for the video
I haven't checked around to see if they have them for a 2018, have you tried to find some?
@@installsandpitfalls Yeah I found some steps and nice I can install it same way you did I just need find the holes underneath but most RAV4 are similar, if you check let me know thank you

I found this video, it's not instructional but it does show brackets and hardware very similar to my year. You should be able to get it done 👍🏻
@@installsandpitfalls I checked the video and I tap on the link but is not available the design is beautiful for RAV4
really appreciate this video. It was so much better than the printed instructions. Cutting the pieces out was so much easier than removing the bottom. Only one issue. I have a 2021 XSE and there is an aluminum plate that I had to trim in order to get the passenger side rear bracket on. Wasn't a big deal though.
Also, I didn't bother cutting the small square plastic pieces out on the outside brackets. Didn't seem necessary. I only cut the ones out that were covering holes.
Thanks for the kind words, the instructions were garbage 😂 had to make the video
AWESOME VIDEO........thank you for posting.....very professional.
Thank you, we tried to make it as detailed as possible 👌🏻
@@installsandpitfalls You TOTALLY succeeded.
Thanks for this. bout to do a tac board for highlander today.
Excellent, let us know how it goes
Thanks!
You bet! Thank you!
Any particular reason to cut the plastic and install the braket dirrectly on metal versus install the braket over the plastic?
Sorry if this was mentioned in the video and I missed it.
That's a great question, if you don't mount it directly to the metal it can compress over time and loosen the hardware. Some of the plastic covers overlap making it spaced out unevenly. Metal to metal is best. Thanks again for watching
Just wanna say sheet metal snips are cheap and not nearly as hazardous for people looking to do this
That's a great suggestion
Does the plastic stay loose since you cut there. What about resecuring the plastic.
Good question, no need to resecure the plastic, the covers are very rigid and do not move around. I suppose you could use double sided 3m tape if you feel it's necessary, but we just left them as is. Thank you
Fantastic job man, much appreciated 👌🏼
Glad it helped!
@@installsandpitfalls it most certainly did!
This video rocks!!
Glad you liked it!
Great job. Very informative!!
Are they in the way getting in and out of vehicle if you don’t want to step on them?
Thx!
Yes, they take a little getting used to as they protrude further out from the vehicle than the bottom door panel. It is not a problem for us but we must lean in a bit more than without the side steps.
Here is a closer look at them.

How did you remove the plug so quickly? I couldnt get it moving. What tool do I need?
Hi, can you give me the time of the video that you're referring to please
Buenas noches. Me gustaría saber esta le funcionaría a una 2023 XSE?
Hola, sí, esto funcionará para un 2023 XSE.
Can these fit a Lexus nx 350 f sport since essentially they are the same as a RAV4, same chassis and platform. ??? Anyone find any running boards for a 2022 Lexus NX 350 F Sport?? Please 🙏🙏🙏🙏😔
I thought I responded to your question, sorry for the late response. These won't fit on the NX350, all I can find for your Lexus are steps
@@installsandpitfalls
great vids
Thanks Mario, we're trying 👌🏻
Just installed on a 2021 rav4....
Not bad but hardware are not the best had problems L bolts
Yeah it's not hard, but frustrating at times. Ours is still tight and going strong.
would this work on a 2012 toyota highlander?
Here are some I found on eBay: www.ebay.com/itm/142675413896?hash=item21381e0b88%3Ag%3A0bkAAOSwaYVbMFXw&fits=Year%3A2012%7CModel%3AHighlander%7CMake%3AToyota
Hello where can I get the bolt bracket that s goes under the car ? Do you have any store where I can place an
Order ?
I ordered from Amazon, I do not have a store and I'm not sponsored by any companies. Here is the link TAC 3” Side Steps Running Boards Texture Black Compatible with 2019-2022 Toyota RAV4 SUV Side Bars Nerf Bars Off Road Accessories www.amazon.com/dp/B07VMQPFQ7/ref=cm_sw_r_awdo_X9CVG85FSGEFC33BC0H6
Does the mud flaps need to be removed in order for this to fit?
No they do not. Well, not the way I did the install, I just cut through the covers while they were in place.
I think you don't really have to cut the plastics....
You're free to install them on top of the plastic, but the hardware may loosen over time.
What about installing bull bumper guard do we have to cut the shield underneath for the bracket?
Hi, we haven't put a bull bumper on the Rav yet, so I'm not sure how it gets secured and what needs to be cut. In general you want metal on metal contact when mounting unless the directions state otherwise
What keeps the portion of the bolts that go into the body from turning as you tighten the nut on the bolts?
Hi, since the bolts are shaped like a L, they tighten against the inside of the frame
Hi. RAV 4 2021 what trim or model plz , and we got the same boards to install on RAV 4 2022 XLE premium . Looks like the right video for us too . Thanks!
Hi, our trim level is LE, but the body and frame will be the same as your 22 XLE. So you should be good to go 👍🏻
@@installsandpitfalls Appreciate your Reply!
@@safisafari2223 Thanks for your support!
Texas Auto Trim installed for us for $150 plus Tax and about $6 credit card fee 🤔, only one thing my wife noticed the board is not parallel to the frame or body of the car, I think I the front doors area is the gap wider?? we took as normal for now 😉 even we didn't do the DIY , but still a helpful 📹 🎥. Thanks again!
@@safisafari2223 Here is a closer look at ours if you like to compare to yours...

Awesome! Thanks for the video, we are thinking of putting the TAC 3" textured black on our 2022 Lunar Rock RAV4, but we can't find any pictures that show the entire car with the sidebars installed. They are all close-ups of just the bar, with a bit of the side of the car. Any chance you have pictures of the finished product posted, that you can link to for us. Would love to see the big picture view. Thanks
Hi Robert, thanks for the question, We made a video today showing the full view with different angles, hope it helps with your decision. Here is the link ruclips.net/video/F0jd9lX1OvY/видео.html let us know iff you have any other questions, Thanks
@@installsandpitfalls You rock :)
Great video...showed the install in the "depth" most of us probably need. However, I do have a could questions. Did you use Loctite on the bolts? Asking because, in the video, you never showed Loctite being used, more did you mention anything (unless I missed it) about using Loctite. If you didn't use any Loctite, have the nuts loosened up any...and, if so, how long after installing the nerf bars did the nuts start to loosen (or until you noticed they were loose)?
Hi, I didn't use loctite because the nuts have plastic locking inserts so they didn't need it. Everything has stayed tight so far.
@@installsandpitfalls Thanks for the info/update. Didn't know it uses Nylock nuts...good to know. 🤙🏼
@@robbryan3044 I was going to say nylock but didn't know if it would cause more confusion 😂 cheers
@@installsandpitfalls I understand 'Nylock'...I'm heavy into RCs
@@robbryan3044 right on, I went back to watch the video and it was actually a free running nut and a lock washer ...my memory is apparently not great today. I suggest blue locktite lol sorry for the confusion, it must have been something else that used the Nylock nuts
could you have left that first bolt in?
Yeah it looks like it didn't need to be removed, I guess I thought at the time it had to be removed. Good catch, we're doing these videos in real time 😂 hard to catch everything. Thanks for watching and commenting!
@@installsandpitfalls ok just making sure. really appreciate the video. super helpful.
@@helix1234 thank you so much, we appreciate it 👍🏼
How is the Quality?
Pretty good, they're not heavy duty rock sliders. But as steps and some protection they work great 👍🏼
I just wanted to see a full side view of what it looked like when finished, what a let down.
