Choosing Between Tyger's Star Armor and Blade Running Boards

When it comes to upgrading your truck or Jeep, few accessories impact both functionality and style as much as side steps. Tyger Auto offers two standout options — Star Armor and Blade Running Boards — each engineered for different needs, driving styles, and personal aesthetics. But how do you choose between them?

Let’s break down what makes each option unique so you can confidently invest in the one that fits your lifestyle.

Star Armor: Built for the Rugged Path

Tyger’s Star Armor is not just a step — it’s armor for your truck. This side step is ideal for those who love off-roading, rock crawling, or simply prefer a more aggressive, tactical look.

• Tri-tube Design: Patented and fully welded for ultimate strength and body protection
• Off-Road Ready: High ground clearance and solid carbon steel construction make it trail-tough
• Bolt-On Installation: No cutting or drilling required
• Look: Rugged, bold, and built for action

If you're frequently off the pavement and want steps that double as protection, Star Armor is your go-to.

Blade Running Boards: Clean, Wide, and Functional

Prefer a more understated, road-focused look? Tyger Blade Running Boards offer clean lines, wide footing, and daily-driver convenience without compromising on durability.

• Extra-Wide Step Surface (6.6"): Makes entry and exit easy for all passengers
• Single-Piece Structure: Strong, rust-resistant, and low-profile
• Style: Sleek and modern for city or highway use
• Great for Families: Ideal for everyday access, especially with kids or elderly passengers

If your truck spends more time on pavement than on trails, and you’re after a practical, stylish upgrade, Blade is the right choice.
