    Anyone with a folding bed step worried about the bolts falling out due to road vibration?

    No. They use existing bolts, and there is a specified torque to tighten them down to.

    When I have mine installed I'm not going to worry about them coming loose either. Just another member started this thread and I thought loc-tite on the threads UN-nessary.

    Very hefty bolts. Just torque to the spec in the installation sheet. Don't need Loctite.IMG_0154.jpg

    So where is the piece that bolts on your frame? Still on the truck?
    I have watched this video enough times I think I could put the step on myself if I had a breaker bar and torque wrench. lol

    I have the AMP research one. Very well made and essential in getting my fat ass up in the bed of the truck to tie my dogs up.

    If there is a chance for a hang up when retracted...your tow hitch will go first!

    I recall reading that Amp Research makes the Toyota OEM bed step. Apparently Amp also makes the Toyota OEM bed extender.

    It's less Tacoma and more mod
    I'm not sure a poor person should be taking on loans on an expensive midsize truck.
