I have a set that were made by a friend of a friend. Very good welding. Served me well for 2 years. I have recently upgraded to Trail Gear. They are smaller diameter than stock and not as well gusseted but have passed all my tests of strength and side protection.
Here's what I have, they're in great shape and they have never been off road either.
From the web site that sells them:
MSRP: $803.35 (per pair)
These side tubes offer the winning combination of 3”stainless construction and the RealWheels popular Step-Up Kit to create the perfect FJ side step. These attractive tubes are finished with a durable black powder-coat. All side tubes will eventually encounter flying road debris, salt spray, off-road brush or other obstacles. Don’t settle for chrome or paint over regular steel that can rust once, even the smallest surface chips occur. Only RealWheels offers FJ enthusiasts a LIFTIME Limited warranty, and the confidence of 3-inch diameter 304 stainless steel construction. The attractive step surface provides durable, non-slip footing for entering and exiting the vehicle. This exclusive system from the designers at RealWheels provides a vast improvement over cheap plastic step inserts that are found on most side steps.
$475 and I could drop them off to you next Friday.
