Sweet, thanks for the video. Just got a Tundra and need to install this. Good to see a fellow Marylander making Tundra videos. Thank you for the useful good content.
Thanks for the video. It definitely helped me put on this tailgate step. Only thing that I did different. Was loosen the rear bumper trim that was secured with retainer clips. so that I could reach the third bolt. That helped me a lot But anyway, good job on the video and thanks for posting
I have a 2023 Tundra Limited Crew Max 5 1/2 Bed TRD Off Road. Mine came with the step. I was like you thinking I did not need the step. It is a must have and I would not want a powered one as that is something to break. I could not easily get in the bed without it. My kids even use the step. My only complaint is I wish they made a step for the right side.
You should remove that bracket holding the bumper before installing the step bracket. It makes for an easy installation without having to modify the bolt and nut.
I think you would be better off making a full spacer plate instead of using washers. Be alot stronger and less stress on the bolts with the whole thing sitting flush. Just an idea. I got a feeling it may have a little more play and eventually work the bolts loose or waller it out without the whole thing sitting nice and flush. Nice step though, and nice video. I wonder if I can make that work, or something like it work, on an 04 Tacoma.
Sorry I missed this bro. I used 2 washers per bolt for now. I need to get a piece of aluminum cut to size. I would say 1/4" would work. Yours may not need it tho. I read it's hot or miss
Been saying this from day one when I saw the new Tundra. The engineers messed up in so many ways. This is a truck and there is no steps to get in the truck with tailgate down. There is nowhere to the sides of the bumper to put your foot. This is insane. Owned a previous Tundra and I don't think a step should be an option. It is those stupid things that makes me decide that I would never buy this Tundra. There are too many design flaws that are retrograde. I have no idea what's happening with these engineers at Toyota lately.
Yeah they def dropped the ball with this. I honestly love the truck tho. There are only a few negatives I can point out so far with about 1500 of my miles on the truck. But I am going from a 2003 gmc sierra to this. Haha. Thanks for commenting.
GMC owns so many patents for steps. Ford has some too. So it makes it a bit challenging. GMC has the best tailgate, rest of the truck is shit. Hence why Ram had a barn door and Ford has a mini door.

Yeah I agree. I like symmetry
Yeah it does look good. Really looks easy to install.
Appreciate the comment bro👍🏽
Love them or hate them…GM had the market on tailgates with the Multipro. I never thought much about it until I got one.
Agreed
Turned out nice brother!
Thanks Todd💪🏽

True
The bed step I ordered is here. ASOPARTS Rear Bed Step Tailgate... www.amazon.com/dp/B0BXRK4GK9?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

Yup a full spacer will be made.
Does having the step there impact how the sensor works? Do you have to make adjustments?
No affect to the sensors while driving.
What type and size spacers did use? Got same aftermarket bed step and plan to install this week

Cool stuff I wonder if they have one for my F350 I have chicken legs and the tailgate is tall😂
😂😂 I know you can modify anything bro.
@@CrucialGarage 👍👍that’s the truth
Your step is not Toyota OEM part, thats why its hitting your bumper. Buy OEM part you wouldnt have that problem.
Prob right but saved a lot of money in the meantime with just a simple fix
