Running Boards BMS Travel for Toyota Tacoma 2019-2023

Make your Toyota Tacoma easier to step into while adding a practical layer of protection along the lower body.

BMS Travel running boards work as comfortable side steps for everyday use and can help take minor contact before it reaches the rocker panel area.

Rocker panel protection is easy to overlook until the truck catches a curb, a rock, or a hidden stump. A running board along the side adds a useful buffer, while also giving you a stable place to step when getting in or out of the cab – especially when the truck is wet or dirty.

BMS Travel aluminum running boards are not heavy-duty rock sliders. They mount to the body at the factory points rather than directly to the frame, which keeps the design lighter and makes installation more straightforward. They are a good fit for Tacoma owners who want useful side steps without the extra weight and complexity of frame-mounted protection.

For a Toyota Tacoma that spends most of its time on the road but still sees dirt roads and occasional trips beyond the pavement, BMS Travel is a practical upgrade. It makes the truck easier to use every day, adds light lower-body protection, and gives the side profile a clean, finished look.

FAQ

Why add rocker panel protection to a Toyota Tacoma?

The lower side of a truck can get damaged in surprisingly ordinary situations, from coming off a high curb to brushing a rock or hidden stump on a dirt road. BMS Travel running boards add a buffer along the rocker area that can help reduce damage from minor contact.

They also work as practical side steps, making it easier to get in and out of the Tacoma when the truck is wet, muddy, or covered in road grime.

What is the difference between regular running boards and rock sliders?

Rock sliders are built for heavier loads and usually mount directly to the frame. That allows them to take harder contact on rough terrain and, depending on their design, sometimes be used during off-road recovery.

BMS Travel running boards are body-mounted and are not designed for that level of load. The advantage is a lighter, simpler setup that works well for daily driving, country roads, and light off-road use without adding the weight of heavy frame-mounted sliders.

Will these running boards fit my Toyota Tacoma?

Yes. This version is designed for the 2019–2023 Toyota Tacoma Double Cab, 3rd generation facelift.

Because the boards are vehicle-specific, the mounting layout and overall length are designed around this cab configuration.

Do I need to drill or modify the truck for installation?

No. BMS Travel running boards install using the factory mounting points, so no drilling or body modification is required.

This makes them a straightforward bolt-on upgrade without the extra fabrication often associated with universal side steps.

What is included in the kit?

The kit includes the running boards and the mounting hardware required for installation.

What are the running boards and brackets made from?

The running boards are made from 3 mm AMg aluminum, while the mounting brackets are made from 3 mm A 620 steel.

This combination keeps the step itself relatively light while using steel where additional strength is needed at the mounting points.

What finish do the running boards have?

The boards have a black polymer coating that helps protect the surface from everyday exposure while giving the Tacoma a clean, finished look.

Regular cleaning is still recommended after mud, winter roads, or other dirty driving conditions to help keep the finish and mounting areas in good condition.
