How to Install AMP Powerstep Running Boards at AutoCustoms.com

[@cliffgriffin7]

Most helpful video out there for the Tacoma install.... EXCEPT... refer to the installation manual about wire color combinations for each door (towards the end of the video)..... It will save you a little time... Thanx for the video...

[@jameskrempasky7588]

Thanks for the video. Also works on the 2017 Tacoma. Saved me $700+ since I was able to install myself. Can't believe that I got the wiring right on the first try. Lucky I guess.

[@AutoCustomsCom]

J Krempasky we are really glad that it went so well for you. Lucky? Maybe, but we would like to think it was do to our awesome vid lol.

@@AutoCustomsCom Will you have a new video for 2024 Tacoma . I want AMP

[@jhkleinberg2]

I'm one of the first ones with amp power boards on my 2016. They work great and love them.

[@AutoCustomsCom]

+Joe Kleinberg They are a great step. We are installing new parts all the time on the Tacoma so keep a lookout for more videos. Thanks for the comment!

[@chrisprak88]

how much was the amp power boards for your double cab? Also Install Pricing ? Was the power boards Worth the extra money vs The standard running boards like the predator tubes?

[@dominicsumague4757]

Thank you so much. I was able to install by myself. Just one question How can adjust the gap from the body of car to the board cause right now it’s about half an inch gap on passenger side.

[@jeffraybourn9347]

Thank you for sharing this video! It really helped me troubleshoot a wiring problem that I was having!

[@MBrunnings]

Thanks for the great video! I just finished installing these steps on my 2017 Tacoma. The instructions for the wiring that came with the kit switched the colors for the wires on the driver's side. Going back to your video I was able to see this and I got the wiring done!

Thank you so much for this......Between the instructions and the video I'm ready to install. Can't thank you enough.

[@sakutasu]

I have a 2017 Tacoma double cab, Amp- Research says Measure 18 inches from the the front linkage towards the front of the board. the video says to the rear, maybe for a 2016 Tacoma .

[@josephodonnell825]

Thank you, Todd, I have a 2019 Toyota Tacoma trd offrd and have ordered the amp retractable running boards. I have watched your instructions several times and thinking about finding the correct trigger wire for each door. would it be easier to find the door switch wire and connect to that wire on each door? thanks

[@89x9]

ToddThanks for the video ,you made it easy! Yes you were right on the wire connections it is trial and error I got it right the first time it took longer than the 18 minute video you posted.Thanks again!

[@AutoCustomsCom]

Yeah we do some editing magic to make the video a little shorter but show you all the necessary steps! Thanks for the comment, enjoy your boards!

[@guzmanguzman8451]

Hi can these steps fit Toyota tacoma 2016 sr5 double cab or they have to be especially for each truck brand

[@mrchao2]

Awesome tutorial! Thanks for making this video, just one question. How exactly do i test for the pink wire that is connected to the rear door? Same for the purple wire on the passenger rear, how do can I identify the right wire?

[@AutoCustomsCom]

It is a trial and error process, but it does not take too long. Thanks for the question!

[@sschriver110]

How exactly do you do the trial and error do you just connect to one pink wire and then add the power to it from the battery and see if it works I'm just confused on that part and by tapping into those wires on the driver side and passenger side it will then operate for both the front and back door correct?

[@cyurdown7096]

I just bought a truck with the AMP running board and the board doesn’t open on the driver side door only can you give an idea of what to check for ?

[@choyfamilyadventures]

Thanks for a detailed install video. What else will you be installing onto the 2016 Taco? Look forward to your future videos.

[@AutoCustomsCom]

+dccaptcrash We are installing new stuff all the time on it. Look forward to new videos!

[@cwolfe66]

I'm just curious as to how far these steps drop down. Can anyone give me the measurement from the door sill plate to the top of the step when deployed?

[@AutoCustomsCom]

+cwolfe66 It depends on the application. It ranges from 11.5"-13". That is without the optional 2" extension. If you have questions about a particular model, call us at 18888554621 and we will answer any questions you have! Thanks!

[@bernardmartin7954]

Excellent video. What brand and size lift kit and tires are on that truck??? It looks awesome.

[@lmcrichton7995]

Will it fit a Toyota Tacoma 2011 pre- runner V6?

[@Legion511]

will this exact same tutorial work with a 2015 Taco Double, TRD?

[@AutoCustomsCom]

It will be similar. Thanks for the comment!

[@BrianSmith-ws7gl]

My kit came with diode connectors. Can I just use the tap or do I have to use the diodes I'm confused. This is a 2012 model.

[@AutoCustomsCom]

Install the Single Diode Harness on Pink/Black wire (12 volts negative with the door open) and connect to Power Step Pink/Black trigger wire. Make sure to install the diode toward the front of the vehicle. For more information refer to Page 7 step 17 of the instructions. Here is a link to the instructions if you don't happen to have them. Just select your vehicle. www.amp-research.com/products/truckaccessories/powerstep/#

[@brapozo9671]

Very nice detailed video

[@sworks7124]

Is this considered a slider also or just a step?

[@cpsmonroe1]

Not a slider . Just a step.

[@tasrocket]

tou should NEVER Drill the Chasis

[@ericschaefer5407]

It's on the pinch weld, its fine. And if you mean the frame, that's fine also, just don't use a torch to burn holes.
