    Can someone please send me pics of their power step where it installs to the bumper. Or if have installed a manual step. The old directions from previous years are not helpful at all. Any help please

    Previous years won’t help if you have a 2022.

    Hope these help. Would be better if I opened it but it’s cold as hell outside and I don’t wanna open the garage door.

    it bolts on the drives side of the frame back behind bumper. Those three bolts hold it in place I believe.

    Yep. I just spent the last hour trying to figure out how to install this thing. There is no way it fits on the 2022. It looks like the three bolts you show in the picture would be the right ones to bolt it up but the wholes in the hardware are too small. There will have to be an update for the 2022 is what I guess I was suspect when I saw the year 2014 stamp. I really appreciate you sending the pics. Trying to help

    I just ordered/received an OEM bed step for my 2018 Tundra. Just to be clear, is there a bracket I need to cut (seen in previous photos), or does the OEM one not require the cutting? Thanks!

    You don't have have to cut anything. He cut it in the video vs replacing it with the packaged bracket

    From what I've seen and read, its is much easier to do the cutting than to try to dig your way into the top of the bumper and get to the bolt to replace the bracket.
