WANTED* bed step for 2017

looking for a bed step for my tundra like the one shown below. Let me know if there are any available. Thanks

 

Check your local Craigslist area and surrounding, also OfferUp, 5mile, Let go, found mine off OfferUp when I briefly had a '13, forgot to take off when I traded

 

I’ve been looking around for the past few weeks with no luck. Hopefully something comes up soon though .

Did you use it a lot? Did you like it?

 

Loved it, was the BesTop brand, not the high end one, very useful

 

I was loading my riding mower into my truck and realized that I need one. I’ll look into that brand since the other ones that I found were almost $300. Thanks man

 

These things are handy. I installed the one from AMP 3 years ago. I used a cut off wheel to cut off the metal piece that is in the way. AMP still sells these you can buy them new. Good luck with search

installed one on mine... it was a PITA to install it, would I do it again? Probably not. I would considering selling it but... it's such a PITA that I don't want to take it off.. I used it once since installing it, then I got a bed rug that runs to the tailgate so sometimes I just jump and climb on onto my knees on the bedrug. LOL

 

If you cut the metal piece you don’t have to take the trim or bumper off. It’s about 30min job.

 

If I end up finding one thats what I plan on doing

 

Lol. Do you hear any noise while driving? I read somewhere that some people were complaining about noise coming from the step when they installed the BesTop

 

I can’t imagine how anyone would hear a tiny piece of plastic tucked a half inch below the bumper that’s probably 10+ feet away from the driver. I definitely do not hear anything.

 

Looks good dude. How hard was the install?

 

I've got mine in the box waiting at home to install. I guess there are 2 different part numbers if you go with the AMP Research brand. If your truck has steel brackets underneath you use part number

$330 75309-01A | Fits 2014 - 2021 Toyota Tundra

75309-01A and if your truck has resin inner bumper structure you need part number

$330 75316-01A | Fits 2016 - 2017 Toyota Tundra w/ Resin Bumpers

75316-01A. Local shop sold me the wrong one...I installed it and it bolted up just fine, but the alignment was not looking right at all. It would hit the truck when in the closed position and the step didn't follow the truck body lines at all. Had to take that ugly thing off and return it. Got the right one now and hope to find the time this weekend to install it. Attached pictures of the wrong one that was installed

 

Which inner structure did you have? I had no idea there was different ones, thanks for the heads up!

 

I have the steel inner structure and they gave me the resin inner structure part number. My truck is a 2017 Limited.

 

It is a pain in the butt to install.

 

The wrong one (Part#

$330 75316-01A | Fits 2016 - 2017 Toyota Tundra w/ Resin Bumpers

75316-01A) wasn't too bad, maybe 45 mins tops and that was doing it at night with a flashlight and still making sure everything was torqued to spec. The directions for the other one (Part#

75309-01A) seem to be a little quicker, but I'll find out soon enough.

 

I have the OEM one sitting in my garage. I opened it up to start the install, but decided against it. Make me an offer, and let me know what city and state so we can incorporate shipping.. it is brand new, minus opening it.

 

Pm sent

 

Replied

 

On sale at Amazon

 

I thought the oem step came with a replacement bracket though? Or does this just apply to the AMP step?

 

I can’t imagine that little piece of metal does anything during a significant impact. Hack that thing off, coat bare metal w paint, and install. Unless the other manufacturers are vastly different from the amp version, the install is very simple.

It’s a very study well made product.

 

Yeah right?! I agree I would be afraid they would hang their hat on that as an excuse too.

 

Can't tell you how many times I've forgotten to kick mine up. Mine has a lot of miles in the down position.

 

Ok so I’ve been reading into the install. One of the things that keep coming up is that people cut the old bracket in order to gain access to those bolts and clips. Since the bracket gets replaced this makes a lot of sense. What do you think of this?

 

Installing my amp bed step right now...how in the hell do you get the bumper bracket out to put the new one in? Every way I try to tilt or move the stock bracket I don't seem to have enough room to get it out. Help....help...

 

I had one of those on my 17 TSS. It was such a PITA to install, I said screw it and left it on the trade in. I really never used it, so I'm not even considering replacing it. My point is to make sure it's something that's going to be used.

 

Cut it, you won’t need it any more bro

 

Got it. Thanks for the quick replies guys. I eventually gave up trying to finese it out of there, so out came the sawzall. Install was not too bad aside from removing the stock bracket. I would have liked to save it, but oh well, likely wouldn't have been used for anything anyway.
