Oval Step
Install

Our donor truck is a new Toyota
Tundra 5.7L. This thing is beautiful, with a huge cabin,
leather seats, in-dash navigation...forget about it! Too much
to list! |

Our Toyota Tundra was missing
something. Could it be Westin Oval Tube Steps?
|

This is the underside of the
Toyota's body. Just underneath the side of the truck there
are a series of mounting holes. In our Tundra's case, these
mounting holes had bolts in them. The mounting holes on your
truck or SUV may be empty. |

Now we attach Westin's mounting
brackets to the holes in the underside of the truck. We are
using the bolts that were supplied by Westin. |

Tighten the bolts down to
attach the brackets. Leave them slightly loose so you can
align your step bar before tightening everything down.
|

Here are the mounting brackets
all lined up and shiny looking. You'll also notice that we
have the truck up on a hydralic lift for the installation of
these tube steps. Westin makes the installation so simple,
you could (and many people do) install these while lying in
your driveway. |

Now we can see the channel on
the underside of the tube steps. Those four bolts sticking
down are part of the bracket that fits into this channel.
Obviously, these four bolts also stick down into the mounting
brackets that we just bolted to the body of our donor Tundra. |

Using Westin's supplied
hardware, we tighten down these brackets, securing the tube
step to the black mounting brackets.
|

A couple of strong twists on
the ratchet make light work of these nuts.
|

Now you just need to tighten
down the brackets on the body of your truck. Of course, the
instructions give a specific ft-lb to tighten the bolts down
to, but we just went with the ol' grip it and rip it approach. |

The finished product looks
killer on this truck. |

Here's one more shot of the
truck, just to make you jealous. |
