I installed handles in the same location as what scouter posted a picture of and my wife and I use them daily to get in and out. I have a stock X s package, and I added side steps. The handles and side steps really made getting in and out less awkward.


I have it down where I pretty much "swing" myself in and out

I'm gonna let that one go cause your Mom said it. And we all know, Moms don't kill kittens!

The stool and grab handles are a top choice but having been around elderly and even disabled people a lot (including my parents) even with a stool and handles I know a bunch who still could not get in the jeep. A mini-van would be more comfortable. Anything where they are about butt even (meaning lower part of the butt cheek so they can slide in and up a bit) with the seat to no lower than a high chair level with the seat is a great choice. The less bending down or going up the better. Keep in mind there is such a thing as too low for the elderly as well as too high. If she can do steps well however a single or even two step stepstool is a great option and much cheaper than the rental and more usefull in the long run.

The apple doesn't fall far from the tree.
... I don't like kitty cats either and have a slightly wicked side.

...Though I would never call my Jeep a Rutabaga or a car .

Hey--->I think I just hijacked a thread.

Oops
