How Much Time Should a Side Step Install Really Take?

[TRUMGETA]

One thing we wanted to keep simple with the Auxchemic® Side Steps for the 2024–2026 Tacoma was the installation.

For compatible applications, the brackets use the factory mounting points, so there’s no drilling or permanent modification to the truck. The hardware is included, and the setup is designed so one person can typically complete the installation in about 20 minutes.

For anyone who prefers seeing the process before deciding whether to tackle it in the driveway, here are two installation videos:

The goal was pretty straightforward: use the factory mounting points, bolt everything in place, tighten it down, and get back to using the truck.

Curious what you guys care about most with side-step installs — quick setup, no drilling, easy removal later, or something else?
