AMP Research Bed Step

[vsayler]

I got this to install this weekend. The instructions are just drawings,. Wondering if anyone has any pictures of where the step attaches to the frame. A picture would be worth a thousand words as they say.
Thanks in advance

Here’s a dump of my pics when I installed mine, hopefully It helps. Be prepared for some interesting angles on some of the bolt heads, I had to rig up some creative setups for a couple of them.

I remember when I put mine on last Fall. I put down a bunch of cardboard to lay on because I'm too old to be rolling around on concrete then had a trouble light to find the holes. There wasn't room for me to reach up and put the bolts in so I put a bolt in the extension and did it that way. I had to put the light next to my head and then just kinda reach up and hope it went in the hole. Then did the other one. Worked good.

Took my rear seat out today. Tomorrow I install the bed step.

Got mine installed.
Not sure how anyone can get a torque wrench on the one nut at the very back of the car. (the 15mm, but really 16mm nut)
Instructions say a 15mm deep socket but its really a 16mm. but a 5/8ths works.
Instructions call for a 10mm socket, but I didn't see anywhere to use it.

I installed mine this weekend as well.... My instructions called for a 13mm, 15mm, and 21mm sockets and that was exactly what I used. I have to agree with getting the torque wrench on the 15mm bolt with the j-clip, really impossible.

My problem was the nut at the very back of the car, no room to get anything in after I put the step in except a wratcheting closed end wrench

Hi all. Will this step work with the tailgate down? Thank you

It will, I use mine like that a lot. I offset the step as far to the right as I could when installing it on the bracket so that I would have the most amount of step available.

Thank you for that! Okay, I’m ordering it and am looking forward to it. Thanks for the assist.

Yes, it works really well with the tailgate down. You can step up from the passenger side.

That’s it! I’m on it. Thank you for the photo with this perspective and sharing how it’s working. It seems like just what we need.

So, since people have had this a while…has anyone damaged theirs? Even when stowed it seems to hang down a bit low.

Mine has been fine, I haven’t drug it on anything.
