Default Turtle Stool Folding Step

Looking for a very cheap solution for getting into your newly lifted Jeep that will not rip on the rocks and has zero installation time? Do what I did, get a Turtle Stool Folding Step. I got one of each since it was so much cheaper than anything else and wasn't sure which would work best.

They come in 6", 9", and 12" height and all kinds of colors. The 6" and 9" fit nicely under the front passenger seat. I didn't check under the driver seat as this is for my wife. For my 4.5" lift, 37" tires, and 5 foot wife the 12" works best, but the 9" works as well.

Here are some pictures:

(9" step)

(I should have put the steps closer to the Jeep. They don't seem as tall because they are a bit away from the Jeep and the agle of the picture)

Default mod suggestion

I would tie a string of some sort on it so that if you are not around and your wife is driving it she does not have to 1. get out to get it, 2. bend over to get it, or 3. leave it behind. That is just my

Cool stools! One question... if she's too short to get into the Jeep without a stool, how does she reach the stool to put it back in the Jeep once she's in?

Edit: OK, I just read the rest of the thread.

Good idea about the string!

I had posted a similar one (white) last year when we went to Alaska.

Sister-in-law's hubby has very short inseam (like 20 inches) and had issues getting in the Jeep before it was lifted even....got that type of step, had the string attached to it, and used it a lot to get in.

We called it his baby step
