I would like to see a step where it hooks over the top, but has a strong spring clip that locks it in place on the bottom. The problem is the profile of the rock rails (its a little rotated, so imagine this rotated counterclockwise sp the bottom is flat:
The more I think about this, the more ideas run through my head. A hard hook design as part of the step that goes over the top of the rail, but a clamping mechanism just enough to hook around the bottom inner curve.
Pardon my craptastic drawing skills as I know the angles are wrong, but this is what's in my mind on this:
The red would be the step itself as a single piece. The green would be the hook that bolts on the bottom (blue is the bolt). The hook piece could be lined with rubber to accommodate the slight curve to the rock rails, prevent slipping sideways, and hooks in a way the step can't be lifted off or move without releasing the bolt first. Two of these clamps with one on each side, and using the same size Torx bolts the doors use and you can use your existing Bronco toolkit, too.
Not sure how feasible that would be, but... 'tis just a thought that would require no drilling, easy on/easy off, too.
