Amp step

Bought my amp/Toyota step threw Roman and I figure I would show a few pictures of the process since I replaced the bracket.


Here is everything in the kit


This is the first step joining the kick out bracket to the arm that will bolt to the tow receiver


Next is to protect the paint with painters tape and remove the bumper cap


The 7way plug and tag light need to be removed


This clip that holds the bumper/license plate cover is removed


Gently pry the covering up ( try and pinch the clips so they don’t break). I did end up breaking one










The five bolts that hold the bracket in


It doesn’t say in the instructions to remove this bolt, but I did so I could have a little more play to remove the bracket and it still hit the receiver trying to remove it.


This is where it will get hung up coming out


This is the spot that will hit coming out


New bracket in the back stock up front.


The new bracket doesn’t have welded nuts on it so these are provided


This needs to be removed so you can torque the amp
Step to the truck


Install the bracket and tighten bolts but leave the one next to the bed out (not like I did)


Remove these 2 bolts


Install step and torque to 90ft lbs. then just reverse the steps to reinstall the bumper covers


And here it is installed

 

Nice write up!

 

AWESOME job in write up !!!

I would consider this from amp- but not the power running boards- every one I see around here always has one stuck down or stopped working altogether
Must be the all the freakin salt/ salt brine used up here in north east- BULL$HIT

 

Great write up! I am considering swapping my side AMP step to this one. I like how it comes out the rear vs the side. Looks cleaner.

 

I'm doing the same. Removing the old side-deployed version and having this one installed when the dealer does my bumper recall

 

Nice write up!

 

Nice install write up! Do you know the part number to the step?

 

Nice!
