Hard core 4x4 part

My wife seriously wants me to buy and install these on Superbeast:

http://www.kodiakproducts.com/

I told her I'd rather set myself on fire. Its not my fault she's 5'4" and needs a ladder to get in. Maybe its just me, but I think those things are

I bet when Ivan sees them he'll think about buying them though

I don't think the 8 inches they lower is going to help considering the superbeast's height and hers.... Hmm, how about something like they use for jets, a pole with a couple of steps on it that you could rig to retract/fold up ...

Could be cool....or ridiculous....later

(Couldn't get the thing to look right, had to put in periods, but you get what I mean...)

Bling bling! I saw these on that giant Ford with the traxx the other night on Monster Garage. You know you're a serious offroader when you need a powered step to get into your rig. Maybe we could rig it up with knives so when someone tries to break into your truck you push a button and it stabs them in the leg.

Don't feel bad Pro, my girl keeps asking me to install steps and I don't even have a lift! I told her no but that I'd consider a giant trampoline or perhaps a circus canon.

Even with my high tech habits I can't see buying a pair of those. I'm considering the good old chain step when I lift the truck . . . chromed chain of course.

I knda like the all four thing it seems a little kinky :-)

I have seen a step that looks like a stirrup. Being in Arizona that might work for me.

How 'bout the fold down steps made for campers and motorhomes? They'd look hokey on a late model truck, but maybe on an early model they wouldn't look too bad.

SoCal,
i've thought about that before b/c we have a 40' Overland motorhome sitting in the drive and i have been tempted to borrow some parts (air bags, air system, air horn, CAT 943 diesel engine, rear end, steps, etc) but anywho i went looking into prices and they are unreasonably expensive! like $300 for the steps....gotta buy the mount and wiring kit separate!

That's why it's a waste of time having a wife/girlfriend.

Yea, but what would be do without them? Just think of all the lotion we'd have to buy.

Yea, I'm not ******* steps like that really, but they sure aren't for me. I actually do have some small steps already on the truck, and they do the job.

I do like the circus cannon idea
