Arrived when I was out of town, and installed them today! I am VERY happy with them, I really like the looks. Install was a breeze, using the factory holes and studs, took 1/2 hour for total install! These rails give you a full 5" of foot width to dtep on. The rubber inserts are well grooved for traction, and the finish on mine is very good! Here is pic installed. (don't mind the dirty truck, been raining last 3 days!)

I got them on-line from "Garage Toys". Here is a link to them:http://www.garage-toys.com/trucktoys.html Talk to Scott, let him know you were referred to him from Titan site, he will take care of you!

You are realy doing a nice job with your Titan. Keep up the good work and keep those posts comming. I am getting good info from you. I have been looking for a good set of boards for my Titan. These look like exactly what I was looking for.

I have not seen anything else loke them! I really like the 5' step surface, and the rubber inlays have very deep lugs that should prevent slipping no matter what the weather. My only complaint is that they only have the 2 mounting brackets per side. I would have liked to have a 3rd one on there. Then again, the wife says I always overdue things!(thats not ALWAYS a complaint on her part by the way)

With only 2 mounting brackets, how sturdy do they feel when you step on them? I have had some boards that felt like they were going to fall off if you put any kind of weight on them.

The mounting brackets are located close enough to the stand-on points that I don't think it will be an issue. Put it this way, I like the looks of them enough that I will tolerate not having it as beefy underneath as I would like.

Yeah - They do look good. I think I might have to look into them. Thanks for the info.

It looks very nice. Thanks for the picture. I am in the market for one. I'll check the website out. How much are they? Do you have to drill anything? I wish they make it chrome at the end of the tube.

Just a heads-up, I just ordered mine and Scott doesn't work there anymore. Ask for Dean. He knows the titan site and gives the same deal to us.

Just a update. I ordered my step rails from Garage toys. I was told I'll have them in 10 days. After almost 1 month, and back and forth calling, Dean told me that a mistake has been made with my address and it would be another 2-3 weeks, which is during the x-mas holidays. I did give the right info but someone screwed up delivery. Dean was not willing to next day a new order to compensate me for the comfussion. While being nice getting screwed for two months was not the way to keep customers.
I ordered my step rails at http://www.rockymountainsusp.com/Nerf_SideBars.htm
Which turned out to be $60 dollars cheeper. I should get them this week and I'll update then

Sorry to hear about your problems with Garage Toys. I dealt with Tony, who I understand is no longer there. This is not the first problem I have heard of from them since Tony left. I believe it is time to take them off the links list.

I ordered the same one's from Garage Toys. Ordered on Thursday April 30th and they were here the following Friday May 6th. Everything was good, all pieces and hardware, no Damage. Already installed. After dealing with T-Rex and waiting forever just to receive damaged steps 2x's, this was great. I like these twice as much as the Aries ovals I was trying to purchase. Eddie

Glad to hear you had a good experiance with them. Your gonna love those rails even more as time gos on.

Bixll, I found out about those from your review and pictures. So I want to thank you for that. They are very different. I never saw anyone else with them on. I already caught someone in a F-150 checking them out. I do have 1 question for you if you don't mind. The installation said to use the farthest front and rear factory mounting points? I thought it would have been better to use 2nd point from the front and 2nd point from the rear so it would closer to where you would step? Unless the bracket wouldn't fit under the step for some reason? I was just curious what you did? I installed according to directions. Thanks, Eddie

05-08-2005, 11:01 AM
I installed per directions also, and have had no problems. I do wish the had put an additional bracket in the middle of them though.

Yeah I agree about the bracket. Too bad we couldn't get the Manufacturer to give us 2 bracket sets and just use another mounting spot. It really isn't such a big deal though, I mainly bought the steps because I got tired up picking my 3 kids up and putting them in the back seat. Talk to you later, Eddie

Kytitan, I Think so too. Nothing but compliments from my friends. They all say basically the same thing, That they never saw anything like them. Eddie

Yeah after seeing Bixll's pics I realy wanted them but, didn't know if I would like the end cap. So after about 6 months I finally ended up going with the aries ovals. Either way they are both way cheaper than the westins. 8)
