Default Small retractable step?

Do you know of any small retractable steps? By small I mean 12" or less. I dont want to get full steps all around, just one for the passenger side door.

i have seen something like that on bigger trucks. That isnt something you normally see on a jeep, so you might need to search for steps off of rams and other full size trucks. there is a 4 wheel parts wholesale in oklahoma, you might want to start there.

I bought a pair of Carr II hoop steps (about 10" wide) off Ebay for $30. Got the idea from another forum member. Had to drill a couple holes in the mounting brackets but the spacing worked out perfect and they bolt to two of my rock sliders mounting holes. Keep them on around town for the wife and kids, and easily unbolt for wheeling. I'll try to post pics tonight. Not retractable but, cheap and easy.

I see you have aftermarket rockers. Do you think these would work on the factory Rubi rails?
