I will get by….I will survive -Touch of Grey LC200
$2300 for the 4Runner steps
Probably tied to trigger off entry lights.
Looks like they are tied to a circuit that activates when the door is opened by default. If you had an LX, (maybe newer LCs have this function as well?), I bet you could tie it to the approach courtesy lights which would be even more fun. That way they'd extend as you walked up to the vehicle.
I never said cheap, just a possibility. They were expensive when I was looking for a set for my old truck too, not $2300, but spendy nonetheless.
I have the T Max steps on mine, the trigger is a sensor on all four door jambs and a magnet on the door. I might be in for a set. Mine came with my car and sometimes get a mind of their own. I had a motor go out on one and found a T Max person on facebook who was in Asia and he was able to send one to me.
They are great with kids and older parents.

These are wired under the drivers panel so you don't see anything out of the ordinary. Those Tmax steps look pretty beefy. These seem a little shorter in length. Can you post a pic of the Tmax closed as well? I also believe the Tmax is a dual motor where mine are single (one per step vs 2 per step).
If we can get a group buy which seems pretty reasonable from the response so far, I think I can get these to people door for under a $1,000. But please be patient as I still want to put them through the more abuse before anyone else spends money on them. I'm not trying to make a business out of this. I just really wanted power steps and our community didn't have any current options.

Some of the people on MUD feel like family sometimes lol
Here are my T-Max E-boards:

Quick update on the steps.
I went to the dealer to replace one of my CV's (tore a boot and started hearing some clicking). They left my lights on and drained (killed) my battery. This lead to an interesting issue with the steps. I kept the bad battery in over the weekend as I needed to order/find a new one. The passenger side step would deploy when a door was opened but would immediately retract. I Thought there might be an issue with the steps since the drivers side was still fine but once I replaced the battery they started working normally again. I believe it was a week voltage signal.
Second item, I took the kids for a short trip off road and thought I could hear some light rubbing from the mounts when I drove home (driver side). I checked and found the rear also makes slight contact with the KDSS lines so I removed them and did some minor trimming. I think I've got it dialed in finally! I still think the mounts and double motor setup is better from the T-Max/Eboards but they still don't seem to be an option.

Not really my style, but this seems like a cool concept for rock slider and power step all in one. Maybe they'd make it for the LC if there was enough interest:

Update
I’ve put some miles on these now and no more squeaks ever since I did the last proper cut. I just didn’t want to cut too much off at once.
The only problem is that we’ve decided to take the family on a sabbatical and travel for a year so I won’t be able to get a group buy going. I can however pass on all the information to anyone interested and provide guidance in install.
At the price point I think it’s a phenomenal value. The unit itself was only $380 and the shipping via air was an additional $300 or so at the time. If we order 6 it can be freight shipped for around $300 for all units but then has to be shipped again to your door so I bet it wouldn’t be a huge savings there. My plan was to modify the front mount for everyone but it’s pretty straightforward if you have a dremel. (See photos below)
I think it’s worthwhile if you very mildly mechanically inclined especially at a cost of $700 Shipped to your door.

Would these work on a 2009 LC?
