With those 2 choices, I guess hs2. Check out NFAB. Not a great pic but i liked glossy black powder coat finish. Matches truck paint.

I have the OEM Predator on my 2017 Tacoma and like them. They came on it from factory. At $599 I wouldn't have bought them after the fact. My neighbor has the Havoc HS2 on his 2017 super white Tundra Pro they look good. Price point the Havoc HS2 wins. IMO.

I'm going with the Havoc.

Havoc was sold out so I went with NFab.

They look a lot alike.

 

[jdevera]

Almost exactly the same. My kids really like them. Easier for them to get in and out.

 

[OR17TRD]

That's all that matters...
What was the cost and where did you get them?

My truck came with tube side steps which I didn't really care for but I found the predators on eBay for a really good price and I bought those but I really like the hs2's or the nfab's

I’m getting Nfabs, quoted $430 or $440, the predator steps will rip off instantly if you hit a rock

Nfabs aren’t going to give you any more protection from hitting rocks. Id be getting some rock sliders if you think you’ll be hitting rocks.

Yup. Steps mount to the body while sliders mount to the frame so if you hit a rock, they will tear away from the body.

From a rock slider perspective (altho not sliders) I like tubular design because when making contact with rocks a round surface will "slide" over obstacles better than a flat (rectangular) design (the less surface area sliding over rocks the better)
