Tailgate Step plastic piece

The plastic cover broke off of the step 2 weeks ago when using the step.




Bought a replacement off of Amazon.



Super easy to change by pulling the 2 long rods. Reused the springs.


Put the new cap on, reinsert the rods, connected springs. Just like new. Roughly 10 minutes to change out.

I wouldn't have a truck now without one. They are awesome especially now with the height of these beasts.

Yep... those Alumina Dutys are even higher. I use the hitch to step on and the bumper to get into the bed with the gate closed. At one point, I am going to buy a Hammerhead rear bumper which has cut outs on the ends to step in. But more likely, will also get one of the steps that bolt onto the frame and have a spring in them to pop back up. Getting old sucks man...
