Auto-lowering side steps

where do you buy these at? I cant seem to find them anywhere. I found one at www.amp-research.com called the powerstep, but cant find anywhere to buy them. These are the steps that lower when you open the door.

central 4WD carries one called the sidewinder, it seems to be a pretty well built unit.

I Just checked at Central 4 Wheel Drive, enter in the words, either Kodiak or Sidewinder in their search and the steps will pop right up. These steps are just that, only a retractable electric step, which is all you need, not that giant retactable running board at amp research.

Yeah thanks bro, but i dont like the look of those. I couldnt find a pic on the web of the ones I liked so I found it in a magazine, scanned it and put it in my gallery. See if you can tell what kind those are. Ive seen them before and really like the looks.

Hey Adam, Just checked out your pics and your pics look dead on to the Kodiak Sidewinder. I've seen them on display at shows and at a few of the 4WD stores. I'm not sure what pic you've seen of them, but that is their unit, probably in the longer version (they make 2 differnt heights). Good luck in your serach!

I saw them at in the Performance Products catalog I get. They are actually made by bestop. They are like a regular running board that raises and lowers, not like a kodiak sidewinder is a step. Check there, I think they are around $500. www.performanceproducts.com
