2024 Tacoma Bed Step Install with pics.

[DoorKnob4531]

Ordered the kit out of state. Paid no taxes and got free shipping. My kit did not come with instructions so I added pictures of the install below.

Install the mounting bracket to the step first. If you install the bracket to the frame first you will not be able to tighten one of the mounting screws.

Screw in the top left screw into the frame for the mounting bracket about half way. The bracket has a slot to fit the screw through.

Slide the mounting bracket up onto the frame and insert the other two screws. You will need to lower the step to access the screw hole for the top right screw

Tighten all of the screws to spec. The top left frame mount screw will require a wrench to access.

Finally install the step onto the mount with the three self taping screws from the bottom.

Verify that all of the screws are tight and that the step when retracted is not rubbing anywhere.

Step on that thang.

Do we “hawk tuah” before or after we step?

Hi,

Thank you for the great words and photos. I anticipate I will be doing this mod soon. This helps a ton!

PO

I also ordered out of state since my local dealer is way overpriced. No instructions with it. Watched couple YouTube videos on 3rd gen step. Not a hard install at all and most useful mod I’ve done by far.

Here are the instructions with Turque values

anyone know if the '24 Toyota bed step works on the left side of the bumper as well - provided I have the threads?

I'm with you on this one trailhunger. The bedstep on my 3rd gen was on the drivers side where it makes most sense. Now Toyota OEM ads and aftermarket shops are showing it available on the passenger side only. I want another bedstep but it does me no good if i have to attach it to the passenger side.

I just installed the bed step. Your instructions were super helpful. Pretty hard not to strip the self tapping screws.
