Can you post some clear, underneath photos of the side bed step showing where it mounted? I have 2 of these and when I looked at installing them on my mega cab, the lower control arm mount is right there so I am thinking these do NOT fit the mega cab. If they mount further forward it looks like they might interfere with the factory power steps. Not a big loss if I can't install them. Having the rear bedstep installed was way more important.


So I have been corrected by AMP tech support. The BedStep2 (75417-01A) fits 2022 megacab and does not interfere with the lower control arm mount near there as I had worried. They are also supposed to clear the plastic trim at the bottom edge of the bed just in front of the tire. I’ll give the installs a shot and see how they turn out.

Mounted my storage chest from my 2019 into the 2022. Used some riv uts in the bed floor so its easy to bolt in or unbolt. Also very hard for someone trying to steal it since its a rivnut they would have to cut off instead of just loosing a bolt. Plus two of them are hidden under a bed support so that would have to get cot off also.

You might be interested in color matched plugs.

Great looking truck. Where’d you get the American flag decal for the rear center window?

I got it on amazon, just be carefully some of them don't have the right number of stars for some stupid reason. Here is. Link to the one i ordered, but i am sure others will work also.

Is that because they are printed in China? Just love seeing USA Flags, mech...etc. being made in China :rolleyes:

Some completely unrelated flag trivia, Most of the flags on the buildings at the Disney Parks have one less star on them. This is so they are not true American flags and they don't have to bring them down at night if the lights are turned off. The main flag they have near the entrance is a real flag. They pick a service member from the guests every day to take part in the flag-lowering ceremony every evening for the main flag.

I learned that my rear axle is crooked today. And i have to take it in to the dealer with 500 miles to get fixed.

Its a good looking paperweight though.

WTF? Axle is crooked? Any idea what caused it?

Good luck with the fix.

Also, we have the same truck. Mine is a 21' Patriot Blue Limited with Carli King 2.5 and Method NV 18"s and Toyo 37x12.5's. Had to add a 1" spacer to the rear after the carli kit to level it out.

I just ordered them, still have about a week to go. I’ve owned Katzkin before they’re quality and a decent price. Front including middle seat and back for $1350 installed.

So I got all excited and contacted Katzkin and asked who was a local installer and they determined that there was no installer in my area but there was 120 miles away. No problem so I asked who the installer 120 miles away was so I could check their work and reputation. Katzkin said they would not divulge that information until I placed the order including down payment..I said no thanks I needed to know who would be doing the work first and click....

That’s odd, when I ordered mine it went directly though the installer, Katzkin had nothing to do with my order, they just made it based on the order through the installer. The price was actually $350 less than estimated on Katzkin website. If you go on the Katzkin site and enter your zip code they will list the closest installer to you, then you can call and order through them.
