    Tyger nerf bars

    Road salt ate two sets of running boards/nerf bars on my 2002 Tundra. I found a stainless steel set on JC Whitney a few years back that held up. I don't think they make them anymore. The picture below shows the rust developing around the end cap of the stainless steel bars I installed last...

    Tacoma Engine Oil
