    Has anyone been successful installing these on a CM? From reading their terrible instruction manual, I have no idea where to put the brackets to hold the rails. Trying to avoid 4WP to installing them since they are charging more than $300. Any help would be appreciated.

    I'm using 2015 Tundra CM.

    I would avoid these if you think you're going to install these yourself. I have a Crewmax and it looks like you have to remove the fuel tank if you want to install one of these on the driver's side. What sucks is if you want to remove these then that bracket is stuck there if you can get it on. I was searching around to see if I can find anybody else who was able to get these on themselves. No dice. What I'm going to explore next is to see if I can bolt the plate to the frame. For some reason, these are set up so the brackets have to wrap around the frame rails which is a terrible design as there is zero room to do this in the rear by the gas tank.
