Look so nice...even my friend told me that my tacoma looks good. But this CRS Chase Rack is not compatible with folded bed covers. Only roll up beds cover.
Excelent and nice bull barr
Hello, I would like to say that my steps are great and they give a very good view of my truck. I recommend them. They are very pretty. The only thing is that they have details of dents. I don't know if it was during delivery or from the seller. That was the only bad thing, but I needed them. I decided to stay with them
I’m looking forward to installing it onto my Frontier.
First I need to change the tonneau cover.
You should state in your catalog if an item is not compatible with collision avoidance Sencers or not. If I had known the prerunner bar I purchased was not compatible I would have never purchased the item guess I'm stuck with it now!
The install and mounting of the steps were very easy and straight forward.
It took less than 30 minutes from mounting and tightening all the bolts by myself.
For the wiring, I decided to run them off my trailer harness wiring.
Doing this, the lights function the same way a hooked trailer would function.
Lights turn on when tail running lights are on and the blinkers corresponds with the respected blinker/turn signals.
I didn't really want my lights to be on in the day time, so when my lights turn on automatically at dusk-evening, the lights turn on.
How I wired mine:
- I purchased a trailer wire harness that plugs into my trailer plug
- Ran the wires behind my license plate
- Ran all wires from the front of the steps to the back following factory wires that ran along the bottom frame (use extra wire to reach the back)
- Connected to the wires from the trailer harness (cut any excess wires)
- Text, zip tie and clean up
**Alternative: cut back the cover of the trailer wiring harness behind the license plate, tap into the corresponding wires. Then replace electrical tape.
If you want the lights to turn on with differntly, you'll need to decide when you want them to.
**Keep in mind that each steps have their own set of wiring. Running lights will need to be combined or connected independently to the same wires on the opposite side of your vehicle.
Example: if you want the lights to turn on with your DRL's, you'll need to tap into the DRL wire(s)...
Find which lights to tap into and it'll start up when those lights have power.
This will be the brown wire.
The other option is to tap into each tail lights' corresponding wires.
For a 22 Tacoma, that would be the middle set of wires (top = Brake lights/bottom = reverse lights).
I hope that gives an idea on where to start planning the start up function of the lights.
For now, tapping into the trailer harness wires work for me.
**Make sure you cover the wires with tubing or some type of cover to protect from the elements under your vehicle.
Overall, love the product.
Not too heavy, sturdy to stand on for reaching my roof rack & and getting into my rig. Design is great. Really goes in line with the side of the truck without being too much of an eye soar (doesn't belong).
Installation was a little work but end result worth it
I bought this and it looks so good on my truck. The only complaint I have is that I wish instructions were printed better, some of the pictures were hard to see.
Fits perfectly and no water gets in the bed when raining!
Armordillo CR1 Tire Carrier For Full Size Trucks
I'm very happy with the bull guard and with the excellent service and how fast it was delivered it took longer than 40 minutes to mount it but was worth it ty
I just assumed that this was made in America, even though nothing is anymore. Had I known this was from China I’d never had ordered it.
The brackets were scratched on delivery, the cut-out of the “R” was bent and I’m sure the wind will eventually blow it off. The installation design is terrible and literally took 8 hours to install. For reference, I installed air bags on my truck myself and ran all of the air lines in 3 hours. Would not recommend.
Love the way it looks but would not want to put them on for a living! A little over 2hrs and a few colorful adjectives later and I was very satisfied with the improved looks of my 2021 Silverado. Seems very structurally sound!
I like the Great look of my truck whit the Armadillo CR1.
