Moms getting in your JK
I recently added a RK 3.5 X factor to my jeep (still running 35's) and took my mom on a ride for the 1st time since i upgraded it. She had a tuff time getting in, but after about 3 mins and some helpful pushing she got in. Just curious if theres anyone else out there struggling to get in your rig. Especially parents.

I'm sure there's a lot, my wife uses the rock sliders. When we take the Jeep to visit her mother I bring a little plastic step stool because we'll always take her out. I really think she enjoys riding in it once she's in.

My wife refused to use the jeep while she was pregnant when I was gone. She couldn't get our boy into his seat with the baby bump, then had to high vault into the drivers seat. We wound up getting a minivan to solve this.

My mom is 5''2 and had a hard time getting into my Rubicon when it was stock. Since I've added the Teraflex 2.5 I've had get her a stepping stool, it's going to be worse for her once I add my 35's. My next mod for my Jeep is going to have to be some form of side steps to help my mother get in and out of my Jeep.

Lol my mother just looks at me and says is it tall enough yet? I just smile and say no then watch her grab the grab handles I made and pull herself on in. My grandmother I had to bring a stool though, she is 93 and only 4-9 now.

This thread makes me laugh! I'm not the only one!!! I help he grab the dash handle, and the roll bar handles. Oh and I grab the 80lb bag she calls a purse so it doesn't throw off her balance!
