Today I’m installing the 6th Element Bed Step Relocation Bracket that fixes the bed step vs tow hook conflict on the 4th Gen Toyota Tacoma (all trims: SR, SR5, TRD Sport, TRD Offroad, TRD Pro, Trailhunter, Limited). This bracket lets you run tow hooks AND your OEM bed step at the same time — no cutting, no bending, no weird hacks. If your 4th Gen Tacoma bed step no longer fits after installing tow hooks, this is the fix. In this video I’ll show you: ✔ Why the factory bed step doesn’t fit with tow hooks ✔ How the 6th Element bracket solves the problem ✔ Tools required + install walkthrough ✔ Before/after fitment comparison ✔ Whether it’s worth buying ✔ My 10,000-mile experience with bed step mods If you’ve been frustrated with this issue — this video will save you time and headaches. 🔧 PRODUCTS FEATURED SXTH Element Bed Step Relocation Bracket : https://tacomastore.com/products/2024-tacoma-bed-step-relocation-bracket Bed Step: https://amzn.to/3KQYBMG Breaker Bar: https://amzn.to/4ogFfjh My Electric Rachet: https://amzn.to/43foYAX My Rachet And Socket Set: https://amzn.to/45cmJ46 My Torque Wrench: https://amzn.to/4j4R7AU 3/8 Rachet and Socket Set: https://amzn.to/4j4R7AU Extensions, U Joints And Adapters: https://amzn.to/4jockYl Open Ended Crows Foot Rachet Extension (Not available in 22m as of this writing): https://amzn.to/49goHlT Alternative Open Ended Crows Foot Rachet Extension: https://amzn.to/49FC6Ur Mojo Tools Swivel Combination Wrenches: https://amzn.to/4j4R7AU 🛠️ INSTALL TIME: ~20 minutes 🎯 Difficulty: Easy (Beginner-friendly) 4th Gen Tacomas have a known issue: Bed step doesn’t clear tow hooks Bed step contacts the frame Mounting geometry changed in 2024+ Most owners remove the bed step entirely This relocation bracket restores full function without sacrificing recovery gear. 🔔 Don’t forget to SUBSCRIBE for more Tacoma mods, installs, and off-road content: https://www.youtube.com/@SmokyMTNTaco?sub_confirmation=1 💬 Which mod is your favorite?
