Question The SWTJ problem!

I now have a severe case of the short-wife-tall-jeep syndrome since I put 35s on the JK. I need some kind of steps, elevator, escalator, crane, spring board...


Anyone have any experience with Warrior products? They make both a nerf bar with a step and a rock bar with built in step. Any suggestions?

While I myself am vertically challenged, I found in my hubby's old TJ, that I didn't like using the steps - I thought about it for my JK, but -just a good set of grab handles and some practice, and that was the easiest - and cheapest route to get me in the jeep.

Thanks for the advice, Grace. My wife is OK with just the grab handles but after a few times getting in and out she gets a bit tired.

We take the JK wheeling a lot. That's why I am looking for something stronger than the factory steps.

They are like luggage...they stay around forever. J/K
I"m lift'd with 35's. I have to stretch to get in (I'm 6'1") My wife can't get in. I use a small RubberMaid stool. I have to get out first and help her in/out...but it works out ok. And it's a cheap fix.

You need one of these:


You can get one here:
stylintrucks.com/parts.aspx/partfamilyid/1612/subcategoryid/351/categoryid/25

I think there are other manufacturers of this, but I am not finding any today. If my Jeep gets any taller, I may have to get one for my wife and kids.

Later-
Tom

PS if anyone gets one of these post up how well it works.
