I found that aligning the front of the tube step about 2.5” from the front mud flap gave the best fit. Step 5: Align the tube step forward/rearward and side-to-side to your desired location. Step 4: Slide the brown square head bolts into the inner and outer most tracks on the bottom of the tube step to the approximate locations of the brackets. As an added precaution I used Loctite (blue, semi-permanent) on each bolt to prevent loosening. Tighten the silver M8x25 bolts, lock washer, and washer combination to 11 Ft-lb using a 13mm socket. I found that aligning the brackets perpendicular to the truck using a T-square and tightening them first was more efficient since I had less to manipulate later in the installation. The instructions state to loosely attach the brackets, loosely attach the tube steps, and align before tightening. Step 3: The front brackets differ from the middle and rear brackets. Step 2: Unscrew the plastic plugs covering the factory holes under each side of the truck. M8x30 and M8x25 mm bolts were discussed, but only M8x25 mm bolts were included). Not only is the installation very straightforward, the instructions are not particularly detailed and there are a few mistakes (e.g. Step 1: Note the 11 Ft-lb torque rating for the bolts, then discard the instructions. It likely can be installed quicker by those less concerned about precision or with more mechanical experience. Installation was straightforward and took me about 2 hours, though I am pretty particular about alignment. The tube steps and mounting brackets arrived in separate packages that were well padded.

In the end I selected the 5” Xtreme Oval Nerf Bars from Go Rhino because they were very similar to the OEM look at a lower cost. I felt the 5” tubes were a good size (3” seemed too small). I really liked the look of the OEM black tube steps on the Tacoma, but I didn’t want to spend $450 dollars. I looked at a number of tube steps including Westin, OEM, Go Rhino, and others. Hence I settled on tube steps over other options to (1) make it easier to enter the truck (2) help provide access to the roof rack, (3) absorb random dings from car doors in crowded parking lots, and (4) improve the aesthetics of the truck. However, I plan on doing only minor off-roading. My goal for this post is to present an alternate option to the OEM tube steps and help those looking at truck steps make a more informed decision.įirst, let me say that I agree with other posts on TW that rock sliders will offer better protection when doing heavy off-roading or rock crawling. However, I found a very limited number of reviews on alternatives to the OEM tube steps. Like many people, I tend to read a LOT of reviews before purchasing any product.
