    Hey all,

    My first week with the '16 Taco OR has been spectacular! However, I noticed a few individuals who lack awareness while opening their doors have already struck my ride. I am now hunting for some bars to help mitigate any further damage...

    The OEM Toyota predator bars are a bit pricey!!!

    From research it seems the N-FABs (I'm looking at the T1576QC-TX version) seem to be a good alternative but still a bit out of budget given my recent new vehicle purchase.

    Where are you guys buying these? Any good discounts out there for N-FABs?

    Thanks!

    I picked up lund bars on Amazon. Look really good and we're a killer price. Under $200.

    Craigslist is a good place to find them. People generally take them off right after they purchase there truck.

    Those with the Lunds. Are they made out of plastic? The Amazon and JCWhitney description says its powdercoated metal but the manufacturers website says polymer. My local store had a cut away sample and it was polymer with a very thin underlying aluminum plate.

    So you're saying those N-FAB nerf bars actually stick out to the point where someones door can't touch/ding your truck?

    yep, depends on the car door type but I parked next to my fiances rav4 and her door would hit the nerf before it touches my ride.
