Armordillo 3rd Brake Light Mount for Full/Mid Size CR1 Chase Rack

The install was a breeze and the quality is great. Very satisfied

Install took about 4 hours, even though it says it’s a 60-90 minute install time. Other than hard to use instructions I couldn’t be happier with how it looks on my truck. Worth every penny!

Awesome running boards with led lights was easy to wire the lights up really work nice functions great best running boards with the led lights built in love them took about 30 minutes to install little harder bye yourself a nothing hand. Would be nicer. Very happy with these running boards 😃

Fits awesome, easy to install no cutting or welding, wire install them at the rear hitch plug just bought a trailer wire kit for a trailer on Amazon and enough wire to work with!! Bit expensive, but it’s worth every penny, this thing is made though to get dirty, and cool looking at the same time!!

Good stuff for truck. Good quality and great price. But not compatible with folded bed covers.

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

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).

Love it completed the look I was after and I like my underneath truck functional and looks great! Easy to install on the chase rack

Horrible welds on the frame. Looks like it was done by a 10 year old. I paid good money for this and it looks horrible. That’s what you get when made in china

I am enjoying my new Armordillo CRB Rack, before buying this chase rack I performed research on existing Chase Racks in terms of measurements, style, and price. Comparing the CRB rack to its direct competitors. The CRB Chase rack is more affordable, Additionally Armordillo provides dimension diagrams from their products in their website compared to Rhino Brand and it allows you to visualize better how the rack will fit in your vehicle by measuring with a measuring tape. Another thing to consider is the Side Plate with the integrated Grill which makes have a better design than its competitors with a sportier and more aggressive look than its competitors. Overall, I enjoy the design of the CRB Chase Rack, and the buying/ shipping process was easy and prompt. Great Work Armordillo!
