Anyone want to buy the AMP Research Powersteps off my Gen2?

I know this is a bit of a long shot, but you never know.

I have a 2015 Gen2 Tacoma double cab. About three years ago I added the AMP Research Powersteps. These are the side steps that move in/out as you open/close the door. Like this:

I'm selling the truck and new owner does not want the Powersteps. I think they are a bit harder to find now for Gen2. This is the link to AMP research, they are out of stock:

But here is the deal, these are not trivial to install. So I had them installed by a shop, meaning I don't really know how to uninstall them cleanly. I am hoping to find someone who is handy and would install these themselves, and they would uninstall them from my truck.

The price at AMP is $1,700. If you can take them off my truck (you do the manual labor), then I'd sell them to you for $600. Then of course you install on your truck.

Install is normally estimated at 3-4 hours, and I do believe for Gen2 you have to do some drilling. So I'd guess uninstall would be at least 2 hours? I think you would need to watch a few videos and find some manuals (I have none) to see what you are getting into.

The Powersteps work perfect, have little hidden lights on the step. They are very cool looking, work great, my wife loves them.

I live in FtCollins. I'd be willing to drive pretty far (easily to Denver) and I could hang out or go grab lunch or whatever for a few hours, while you remove the steps.

If you've been thinking about Powersteps but were put off by price or availability, here is your chance.

 

You got any pics? These are a bitch to remove fyi

 

I will post some pictures. Actually, I'll make a small movie and upload it somewhere.

Yeah, I assume they are a huge pain to move, I wish I wasn't in this position!

 

Tell the guy he bought the truck, he bought the steps. Or sell it to the next person.

 

Yeah, the punch line is "the guy" is my son. I know he really doesn't want them, so I'm trying to help him out. I have more time to fiddle with removing them, selling them etc. than he does. If it wasn't my son, I wouldn't bother. The things we do for our kids...

 

Ahh, haha. Yeah you're on the hook for getting rid of those. Let me guess, they're "not cool"?

 

My wife is 5'3". Son and his girlfriend are much taller. For him it is 80% "I just functionally don't need them" and probably 20% "not cool". The thing is, the Powersteps are cool. I have people stop me all the time in parking lots to look at them.

 

Tell him to lift it a few inches and then he'll have a use for the steps! Good luck selling.

 

Here is a video showing the Tacoma Gen2 Powersteps I'm selling.

A quick update -- I'm having the steps removed, so you just need to pick them up (or I'll deliver) and you install. You don't need to figuring out how to uninstall.

The Gen2 install instructions are here:

And an install video is here. This is for a 2019, but it should be very close. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h2WOHgSgV-Y
