Tacoma Sidestep Installation

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

When installing these, a small bead of silicone around the floors bolt holes will helps seal out moisture. Especially in any rust prone regions. :)

[@loganhall368]

Found this video and used the link you provided to buy mine. Installed them yesterday. They are exactly what I was looking for. Thank you for posting this!

[@morganblais5046]

Thanks for including where you found the threaded locations to mount on the truck! Wondering why there were plugs

[@robertdunn6112]

Good video, well done. Thank you for posting. I'll look for more.

[@cnknguyen]

Lol those things are the first item to come off on an offroad rig. Every weekend we see new Tacomas and tundras with one or steps torn clean off..

[@GTContent]

Yeah, they're not really for off road excursions. Lol

[@cnknguyen]

@@GTContent even on level 2 trails a small step of 5-6" will destroy them.

[@GTContent]

@@cnknguyen Ouch. Good to know.

[@mcchickenmcflurry3636]

True but people don’t off-road 5 days a week….just take them off when you go off-roading and it’ll be okay….side step are more practical on everyday use on lifted trucks anyway

[@TheRealAwesomePossum]

What are you some sort of redneck🤠

[@chrisdemas8246]

Thanks for the video! Just put mine on in about 45 minutes.

[@nathanstephenson7917]

[@christophermichaelcarpio6910]

Do you know the spacing between each bracket? Trying to see if this will fit my 1st gen sequoia.

[@davidsson4927]

Very well done and enjoyable video.

[@shunlu2082]

Is it can be fit 2024 Toyota tacoma RS5. ?

[@DavidRodriguez-qt5ux]

Update on step sides

Cool thanks so much. I will take care of it my self.

[@notsure1276]

Another informative upload.

[@CorradoPicarelli]

How are the sidesteps doing what brand were they. Thanks

[@GTContent]

Purchased off Ebay. They're still doing great.

[@Gabgamingz]

So far how do you like the side step? And what brand is that? Thanks sir

[@GTContent]

They work great and are affordable. They sit low, so if you're into off roading, it may be an issue.

[@DavidRodriguez-qt5ux]

Update on the running boards ?

[@GTContent]

Doing great so far.

[@Yes-qqqq]

Does the off-road and sr5 have the same body style to where these can fit?

[@GTContent]

Yes, it will fit

[@ryanhugheshitting7944]

What was the brand of sidestep did you use in this video?

[@GTContent]

Sold all over Ebay.

[@vu_adventures]

Looking good 👍

[@drakecummings3016]

What exact size are the bolts and all the washers I’m trying to build these and am wondering the sizes of everything??

[@renenavarro4121]

I'm sure the bolts are 8x1.25

[@billanderson1965]

Did you notice the material being flimsy at all? I weigh 175, and when I step on these things they seem to have a lot of flex and give.

[@GTContent]

Didn't notice at all.

[@miwy0308]

Did you use a normal wrench or a air powered wrench

[@GTContent]

Normal wrench will work. No air powered tools necessary.

[@miwy0308]

@@GTContent thank you just wanted to be sure beforehand thanks again

[@hdwoodshop]

How are they holding up. Thinking of buying the same.

[@GTContent]

Working well.

[@so3ry_0]

Thank you for this

[@ganimedes777]

Thanks!!! Awesone

[@letsboogie4879]

Now its time for the brush guard

[@humbertoparra975]

How long are your sidesteps from end to end? I have a set and they are about 72-73inches I’m not sure if they will work for the double cab. Thank you

[@steveking4103]

what brand and how much? could you please put a link below?

[@xxraverxxonxtacy]

Great Job Gary, will you spray clear coat or PP film on the truck?

[@GTContent]

No, I won't be adding pp or clear coat.

[@xxraverxxonxtacy]

@@GTContent Living dangerously with the factory paint, I would at least Ceramic Coat/wax if possible.

[@GTContent]

@@xxraverxxonxtacy That's true. I've been looking at ceramic and pp (and if I can do it myself), but all I see is more $$$$$. Lol Which ceramic would you recommend?

[@xxraverxxonxtacy]

@@GTContent Search B07MVSYPM5 on Amazon, I heard good things about it but haven't tried myself but make sure you can use it on non-clearcoated surfaces cuz I've never heard of new cars/trucks being sold with just paint and no CC.

[@drewdeluxe]

Almost one year later, how are these running boards holding up?

[@GTContent]

Still doing well. I'm surprised the coating hasn't come off as much as I anticipate, but I live in a dry environment.

[@kirillkucheryavenko6116]

How tall are you Gary?

[@ryleyfry4955]

How is the ground clearance with them installed?

[@GTContent]

Good. Haven't had any issues in the suburbam jungle.

[@anthonycastillo6959]

Where did you buy your side steps?

Nice! And they are very inexpensive!

[@bartos-vloggos7317]

Anybody know the sizing of bolt or type I should get, my side rails didn't come with bolts to mount to the truck

[@nitefors]

Original, Tacoma set has 6 metric Hex head screws "M8 - 1.25 mm thread x 30 mm long". Screws come with 6 M8 washers.

[@EN_autoblog]

You should weld it from getting stolen. A lot of thieves yo. But, that's if you're going to have it on permanently.

I’m hoping you took those gawdy graphics off

[@melodylogan5732]

That wasn't very informative. I would have like to have seen the mounting and install.

[@papalilburn]

People that can't read instructions shouldn't make "how to" videos!

[@thomaswilliams9844]

Figures this is from the same channel as wheel spacers content. Just buy proper wheels with an offset. Don’t be cheap, do it right. I bet the next video will be a spacer lift install.

[@thomaswilliams9844]

1. What not to waste your money on because you should have just bought a sedan in one easy “step” Pun intended. Lame Stick to sports cars. You should never buy these ridiculous body mounted grandma street steps. They are intended for dealerships to mark up the price of the vehicle and give you the illusion that these are an off-road accessory, when it couldn’t be farther from the truth.

[@dwinkler0128]

Yes sir! They help a little with rocks hitting the rockers if you have A/T tires and majority of Tacoma owners aren't off-roading. Most people just worry about their own shit and not what anyone else is doing.
