Do the automatic steps work?
With a 6 inch lift and 35s, its hard for the g/f or smaller people to JUMP into the truck. I was thinking of running tube steps, but i dont like the, So i thoght about a regular step. But that is a big loss on ground clearance...over rocks and all. So i found these electric steps. When the door is cloesed the tuck up under the truck, and when the door opens, they fold down. What do you guys think of these? Also, is there a way to get them to work around ROCKSLIDERS?

checked performace products didn,'t find any for toyota, but i think they do make them for some models....but they are very pricey 1200-1500, think it would be a lot cheaper to jump

A litlle lenght of rope ladder attached under the seat. When you open the door just pull it out. After you get in roll it back up and put it between the seat and door.

There's another thread like this... someone posted a picture of what looked like a saddle stirrup. As ghetto as that may be, I like that idea more than the automatic steps... with the automatic that's just one more thing to go wrong.

My buddy used a saddle stirrup.. It worked super well, open the door, fling it out, step in, fling it back next to the seat, close the door. Worked like a charm, and doesn't create an install mess, or loss of ground clearance. He just bolted it to the seat frame.
