People like the Prinsu roof racks. I lean towards the minimalist modular systems. Too bad I haven't found the prinsu style for the extended cab version.
I was not going to put running boards on my new Tacoma 2023 TRD SPORT but those running boards are the best I have seen. Great video. I have been a wood worker for over 40 years.
@@jacobhenrytacoma From what I have seen the hardest part is cutting a straight line for the new bumper to fit. But it looks great. I also bought a light bar to go behind it. RobMotive has a great video on it. Others have good vids as well. It’s a little more aggressive without going overboard.
its refreshing to see these type of products out there, I haven't seen much creativity lately for taco products and accessories so this is awesome man, thanks for sharing Jacob!
I bought the running boards and since moved. Lost the install instructions and some of the pieces are jumbled into big zip locks losing their "place" designation. Can you do a close up of the running boards just for where the pieces go? Trying to figure it out through pictures
Hey Justin, email me at jacobhenrytacoma@gmail.com I can send you the close up pictures of where everything goes to install the running boards. I can also email you my number so you need to FaceTime me and I can help you out that way as well.
For cheaper lights I highly recommend Nilight. Super bright lights at the fraction of the cost. They even sell harnesses too for a more plug and play installation. I got a 32” 3 row lightbar, wiring harness, and mounting hardware to clamp it to my roof rack all for $100 or so
@@2018LexusGSF ya the two small hood lights I have on my truck are actually Nilight. Looks like Nilight needs to reach out to me and get me some lights haha 😂
Looking for a running board that lights the steps at night. Also, that bedliner not held down by anything might just fly into the road behind you during certain wind conditions.
Years ago I bought floor liners from weathertech for my car. I decided to go cheaper with the oedro floor mats for my wife's car and I loved hers more. I only buy floor mats from them now
Ok, like the products, and I'd agree, they are in the category of "game-changing". The running boards are awesome, really. Bed liner is probably the weakest of the 4, but still would do the job nicely. That cover is really, really nice and almost makes me feel bad about trading in my pickup for a 4Runner lol. The light bar looks cool and provides a lot of light, but I don't think anyone would recommend magnet mounts; the moment someone noticed it was not a permanent mount, the lightbar would be gone. Great video, I'm going to save it to my playlist for future reference.
I like the running boards the best, especially with the 3 rd step. Also you mentioned woodworking, that would be good to watch, even if you made another channel just for that.
I think the running boards look awesome. That is the only thing in the video I been thinking about adding to my truck. I already have the Toyota bed mat and a hard tonneau cover by Lomax I really like. Most of that stuff I got shortly after getting my truck in July 2020. Those items have been holding up well too. The oem mat seems like it covers the bed well but yours add a bit of an extra lip around the sides.
8:03pm hey I just looked up the tonneau cover w light bar strip for my 2023 Tacoma trd sport 4x4 and it took me to Amazon who said it didn’t fit my truck and wasn’t currently available and didn’t know when could you recommend someone who does have it
Love the steps I’m not to sure that bed liner will stay in driving down the road ✅ Not to sure on the other things. Would like a grill for front of my truck 💕🥳
Hey man, when it comes to a roof rack, get a Sherpa Grand Teton! Best rack on the market, it also needs no silicone to seal it to the roof. Check them out!
Its a bed mat. Not much gets under my stock tacoma mat. I don't see the purpose of the flared Oedro in the bed. In the interior, sure. The curled edges will allow way more stuff to get under it. Both this mat, as well as the oem mat are not hard to move, so I don't know what you would gain by using the Oedro. Plus it looks hideous. Definitely made in China.
I KNOW!!! I was hoping everyone would like me to start a woodworking UA-cam channel. I’m happy you said something and I’ll definitely start one just for you 😆
Prinsu is fantastic . That’s what I have … two other nice ones are made by Front Runner and another is the slim line made by shepra. You’ll need to relocate your light bar though as the racks use the mounting holes up on the roof
Need those steps to replace my predator steps and that tonneau cover to replace my soft tonneau cover! Make a video on how to install that tonneau cover! May need it for the future
That bed mat seems to suffer what a lot of Chinese mod makers for Tacoma suffer from. The dimensions look very slightly off so it's not a perfect fit. That bed mat was touching both sides and one side was still slightly lifted upwards. This means that bed mat will always have a tendency to curve up at the edges which would drive me crazy. I'd suggest going to the official Toyota TRD bed mat which is a much better bed mat. It's a thicker rubber instead of plastic which gives it more of a soft touch feel as well. That bed mat reminds me so much of the weather tech floor mats which I replaced with OEM TRD mats because of this very same issue got annoying really quickly. Their molds are just so slightly off and the result is annoying. So what these companies do is that since they're made in China, they just purchase some parts, make a mold of them and sell their parts based on what they molded from. The issue with this is, when you make a mold for an exterior part, you have to slightly adjust the mold for the material that you'll be molding. If they have a slight tendency to expand, then the mold needs to be adjusted slightly smaller to prevent the output product from being slightly too big. These companies don't do this and the result is an end product that's ever so slightly too large.
The bed mat was just pulled out of the box and after a few days it will relax and fit much better, especially if it's really warm out. Also, the design of the mat is intended to have a lip that extends upward along the beds edge.
@@guymichaels3233 If you actually look at the video, the mat ends are already touching both sides of the bed already and that's why it's not laying flat. I have floor mats for the Tacoma that's the same way in that it's dimensions are slightly off which causes the edges to roll inward in front of the gas pedal so those got tossed for real TRD mats.
Interesting accessories with some different capabilities. I wouldn't mind a bit of info as to how the bed cover is wired into the truck, for my part I'm very particular about anything that taps into my truck's electrical. Thanks for the vid.
Hi Do you need a switch panel to control all of these lights? We're the pro auto lighting company for nearly 20 year and we're looking to sponsorship your truck!
Thanks for the review! The products look good! I already have the Tacoma factory bed mat and I am planning on getting a camper shell/cap for the back so I wont need the tannou cover. But that LED light for the brake/turn signals looks awesome! Keep up the great work!
I prefer the Raptor Series running boards sold through Summit Racing. I also prefer the Toyota Tacoma bed mat, it looks to be superior to the one you just put in plus the bed mat you installed looks to interfere with the compartment door on the right side. . For a tonneau cover I prefer the BakFlip MX4 I don't want wiring in my tonneau cover that can wear over time of opening and closing the cover and causing a short. I would pass on all those products. The roof light and even the cowl lights are for trail/off road use only to many people install those lights and run them on the road blinding other drivers.
It's a double cab short bed. It's hard for paper towels to fly out of that bed. You will have nothing to worry about. Now if you have the long bed, that's a different story, as way more air will flow into the back, and your concern would definitely be valid.
The bed cover that you have linked in the description says it is for a Tundra with a 5.5' foot bed. Is this correct or was it the wrong product linked?
Magnets are a bad idea and will over time cause your roof to rust out under the magnets. I had this happen to a vehicle using the XM radio magnet mounted antenna years ago, right under the magnet it was rusted but you could not see it because the damage was under the magnet and you did not see it until you removed the magnet antenna.
Ehh seem ok lights bad ass bed mat ehh long as it don't pull out sliding heavy stuff out like plywood not a fan of steps lower ground clearance so I'd go with rock slide first hard bed cover yeah depends on prise of course . Lol let you know when I get 60k for the truck 😂
![Top 5 BEST Running Boards For Toyota Tacoma of [2023]](/img/n.gif)
LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU THINK AND WHAT OTHER MODS SHOULD I DO?!?!
I know that I want a driver side, grab handle. But other than that I’m going to keep my truck 🛻 stock , until I pay it off! lol 😂
A 2024 Tacoma
People like the Prinsu roof racks. I lean towards the minimalist modular systems. Too bad I haven't found the prinsu style for the extended cab version.
I have a 2017 Taco and have those same running boards.........and yes! they are a GAME CHANGER........LOVE THEM!!
Rock sliders, skids and bumpers
Stop saying game changing.
It beats "Life Changing Experience" that people use for their new brand of toilet
paper.
😂
Hits a neeve😂
The added step on the running boards is a nice touch.
I know right! It’s definitely different from all the other ones out there.
I have a 2023 TRD Pro on order. Should be here in a couple of weeks. Cool accessories for my consideration ......thanks for this.
Your not going to want those running boards on a Pro. Sliders are what belongs on the Offroad and Pro.
Never stop saying CG! Love the video! That light bar rocks!
Thanks! Will do!
Get the woodworking videos going!!!!! For sure.
You Literally have my exact name! and I was randomly searching Tacoma vids as I contemplated buying one of these trucks.

The game changing, game changer, game
Love the Running boards will get that set
Ya I definitely am so happy with them. They are great! You are going to love them.
Great video. Loved the products, I would love to get that bed cover! All products are G.C.
A game-change mode for me was installing a Baxter oil filter adapter. No more canister filter. Spin on oil filter, life made easier.
I bought that exact same bed cover about a month ago. I loved the idea of the tail lights. I highly recommend a Body Armor HiLine bumper.
It seriously is my favorite accessory for sure! I definitely need a bumper kit now so I will look into that one. Is it easy to install?

But i wasn't talking to you 🤔@@rudiiwii1
Definitely things that can improve lighting in very dark areas. And the running boards are cool
Interesting products.
I think so too!
I just got this truck and it's amazing, the bed cover not impressed by, the light bar daaaayumn. Interested in roof rack also ✋✋✋✋
My taco came with a real nice bed mat and a tonneau cover! Butttttt i must say i loooove the lights on that cover 😮
Dope vid good to see u get sponsored
Thank you! I know it is crazy! Only 2 videos and I already have sponsers hitting me up! Thank you again for the love and support!
I’m subbing because of the fact you said “SHORT KINGS” 😂 Great content bro. Get a lift kit for your taco!
Uptop Overland Alpha roof rack is so good, can't recommend enough.
The upTOP Zulu roof rack looks awesome on Tacomas and allegedly, they’re also the strongest as it’s made from steel.
GAME CHANGER Bro!

Just bought the soft cover from them a few months ago and am happy with it. Thanks for the review on the hard cover.
Great video, I plan on checking out the running boards. I bought a pair in 2020 for my new truck and they are not holding up. The middle step is nice.
Thanks Joesph, I definitely recommend this running board. It’s definitely great quality and looks so good.
I have the victory 4x4 roof rack. It's pretty great. Easy enough to install and less expensive than a prinsu
Some good items, ideas. Mostly run of the mill junk.
The extra center high running board step was the useful item.
We literally have the same Tacoma! Personally I am going with an overland rooftop tents build i think.
UpTop roof racks are the bomb!
This video changed my game...
Thank you. Glad I can change the game
Cool stuff, man! I would also definitely be interested in seeing some woodworking content 👍
Love the side steps. They make the truck look sick and that higher middle step makes it look easy to wash or access the roof of your tacoma.

The game changer here. Recs or thoughts on pop ups for my 23’ taco? 3 huskies growin. The flat cover needs UPgraded
I have an Oedro step, but I like yours better. I am getting an Alu-Cab Camper.
I love Toyotas I don't have one now mine was stolen 5 times since I got the state of good ol Florida they are good trucks
Omg that’s so sad to hear. I hope you get it back because Tacomas are the best.
Nice video! You mentioned looking for a roof rack, I totally recommend the Prinsu cab rack. Have it on mine and I'm super happy with it.
Thanks for the recommendation, I’ll check them out. Which one do you have? Send me a link.
To each there own, not a fan of any of them, but keep at it!
Not even the bed cover?!?! I love the LED on it!
Up-top Overland is the best roof rack for sure!!! And they do color matching with your vehicle for some of the trim pieces!
@upTOPOverland 🔥
Love the steps
I’m not to sure that bed liner will stay in driving down the road
✅
Not to sure on the other things.
Would like a grill for front of my truck 💕🥳
The steps are awesome, I love them. The bed liner has grips on the bottom so it doesn’t slide around. It’s great quality.
OEDRO: Truck Bed Tonneau Cover ... will this fit a 2018 Toyota Tacoma?? it says its for Tundra
Yes it will fit. It’s the same one I have on my 2021 Tacoma. If you have a 5ft bed it will work.
Hey man, when it comes to a roof rack, get a Sherpa Grand Teton! Best rack on the market, it also needs no silicone to seal it to the roof. Check them out!

I bet that bed liner would make it easier for a short girl to get something that is way back by the cab, by pulling the bed liner out a bit!
That bed mat looks good with the flared edges. Should help with cleaning.
Oh ya I’m so happy with it. Also like that it can easily slide out to clean off when it gets dirty.

Honestly the easiest install ever. You literally just have to plug it in. I was surprised how easy it was to install.
It plugs into the 4 pin trailer plug, just like any of those led light strips.
Prinsu roof rack. You won't regret it!
Awesome
Thanks!
So if I put all these accessories on my Taco maybe I should have bought a Land cruiser right?
I like the bedrug better and adding the tundra remote tailgate lock is good

You absolutely should train people willing to learn a trade. Good for you looks like your doing well. Everyone in Germany is a 🪵 worker.

Do these products fit on a 2023 Tundra?
That one i dont know... I am only certain that the LED light bar is compatible with a tundra!
Great
We just use our running boards to kick off the snow and mud off of our boots.
Awesome video man. How was the installation for the tonneau bed cover? Looked a bit weird with you wiring things behind the tires and whatnot
if you’re driving at freeway speeds does the bed mat move around at all or have risk of flying out?
It's a double cab short bed. It's hard for paper towels to fly out of that bed. You will have nothing to worry about. Now if you have the long bed, that's a different story, as way more air will flow into the back, and your concern would definitely be valid.

The bed mat looks like a blowout going down the road.
The link to the Tonneau cover goes to the Tundra model and not the Tacoma. Otherwise, great reviews.
It looks like they are nice products and well made but I wouldn't call them game changers.
