Full cab-length steps deploy and retract automatically with the door, staying tucked for improved ground clearance and rocker panel protection when not in use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eLow Profile When You Need It, Full Step When You Don't\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA retracted e-step sits tight to the rocker panel, keeping the Tacoma's ground clearance intact on trails where a fixed step would be the first thing to catch a rock or berm. When a door opens, the 6-inch-wide step deploys in time to be useful, then retracts again when the door closes. No manual folding is required, and there is nothing to forget to stow. The low-profile design also shields the rocker panel itself, a section of the cab that takes expensive body damage from trail debris.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSingle-Motor Design and Data-Line Integration\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBody Armor 4x4 uses a single-motor configuration rather than a dual-motor setup, which reduces the number of electrical components that can fail in a demanding off-road environment. The system integrates via the vehicle's data line rather than relying on door-mounted magnets. The trigger signal is faster, and the installation stays cleaner: no magnets to align, no wiring to route around door hinges.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eBuilt to Handle Weather and Unexpected Obstacles\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn IP67 waterproof rating means the motor and electronics are sealed against full submersion up to one meter, so river crossings and heavy rain are not a concern for the step mechanism. Integrated LED lights illuminate the step area at night, and the textured step surface provides grip in wet or muddy conditions. An auto safe-stop feature detects obstructions mid-travel and halts the step automatically, a useful safeguard in tight parking situations or when gear is left near the rocker area.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e660 lb weight capacity per side:\u003c\/strong\u003e rated for heavy loads on both driver and passenger steps\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIP67 waterproof rating:\u003c\/strong\u003e motor and electronics sealed against dust and water immersion\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSingle-motor configuration:\u003c\/strong\u003e fewer electrical components reduce failure risk off-road\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eData-line integration:\u003c\/strong\u003e connects to the vehicle's data line, eliminating door magnets for a cleaner install\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAuto safe-stop:\u003c\/strong\u003e detects obstructions and halts step travel automatically\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIntegrated LED lights:\u003c\/strong\u003e illuminate the step surface for low-light entry and exit\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNo-drill installation:\u003c\/strong\u003e mounts without cutting or drilling the factory body\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n  \u003cthead\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003cth\u003eSpecification\u003c\/th\u003e\n      \u003cth\u003eDetail\u003c\/th\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/thead\u003e\n  \u003ctbody\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eSKU\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eTC-4601\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003ePowder-coated high-grade aluminum\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eStep Width\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e6 inches\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eStep Length\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eFull cab length\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eWeight Capacity\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e660 lb per side\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eWaterproof Rating\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eIP67\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eMotor Configuration\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eSingle motor\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eTrigger Method\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eData-line integration (no magnets)\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eVehicle Fitment\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e2024–2026 Toyota Tacoma Double Cab (excludes Hybrid)\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eWarranty\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e1-year electrical \/ 3-year mechanical\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWho This Is For and Isn't\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-fit-yes\"\u003eThese steps suit 2024–2026 Toyota Tacoma Double Cab owners who want automatic power steps that retract for off-road ground clearance and rocker protection, with a clean no-drill install and weatherproof electronics for mixed on-road and trail use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-fit-no\"\u003eThese steps do not fit the 2024–2026 Toyota Tacoma Hybrid, any Tacoma Access Cab or single-cab configuration, or any Tacoma model year outside 2024–2026.

When a door opens, the step deploys; when the door closes, the step retracts. No door-mounted magnets are used, which simplifies installation and produces a faster trigger response.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 class=\"product-faq-q\"\u003eWhat happens if something is in the way when the step is moving?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-faq-a\"\u003eThe auto safe-stop feature detects an obstruction mid-travel and halts the step automatically rather than forcing it against the object. This applies during both deployment and retraction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 class=\"product-faq-q\"\u003eIs drilling required to install these steps?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-faq-a\"\u003eNo. The Body Armor 4x4 E-Power Board Steps are designed for no-drill installation on the 2024–2026 Toyota Tacoma Double Cab, using existing mounting points on the vehicle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 class=\"product-faq-q\"\u003eWhat is the warranty on these steps?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-faq-a\"\u003eThe E-Power Board Steps carry a 1-year warranty on electrical components and a 3-year warranty on mechanical components.
