Wife needs help getting in the Bronco. Looking for stirrup options if any

[Cysquatch]

Gas prices have me spending $15-$18 a DAY to commute so the Bronco will be my wife's daily driver. BOOO! And before I get the flood of "But I get 25mpg in my Sasquatch 2.7L", that isn't my reality. I'm at 14.5mpg to and from work (40ish miles, all freeway).

So on to the topic...My wife has a hard time getting in the Bronco and more often than not, I'm grabbin' ass to give her a boost in. LOL. Now that she's going to drive it (3 miles roundtrip), she needs a step aid of some kind. I'm currently lifted around 2" over SAS and have FabFours tubular sliders so add on steps are a no-go and I'm not a fan of steps anyway.

Would love a stirrup option like what Steinjager or BestNets offer for the Jeep. Anyone know if these would work for a Bronco? They seem like they would but with that door sill plastic cover, I'm not so sure. TIA. Pics below of both products...

I'm having trouble finding an issue here? You should be thankful its lifted...

What about a step stool she keeps in the car?

Dude, buy your wife steps and put the sliders in storage. $800 is not worth relationship stress.

how are stirrups safe? If she has problems getting into the bronco using something unstable like what you pictured will probably just end making things worse.

Stirrups look dangerous at best. Get Rock rails and there's plenty options of bolt on steps. I have aig steps which are great

I bought a $3 plastic step stool from drugmart

Have done that before for the wife and her 96 Bronco. Tie a string to them so that she can pull it up after she gets in. I finally put nerf bars with a built in step on it.

On our Broncos now, my Badlands has ZroadZ sliders and her Wildtrak has the Ford steps. Both work really well for her.

Not happening. Are you crazy? lol. The sliders stay. I’ve been married 37 years. I’m not concerned with relationship stress.

RSE is way to go

Wow, so she's stuck driving the vehicle that you knew got crappy mileage and then modified it to get even crappier mileage only to pass it off to her. I'm sure since you don't plan on making it remotely user friendly for her that you plan on continuing to use it on the weekends all the while using hers during the week.

It's your marriage, your life, your truck so do what you want but give in a little and just buy a set of power steps, it sounds like she's done her share of compromising for you. Best of luck in whatever you decide.

Trade it in for a low rider Bronco. Problem solved.

No offense to your wife. I always laugh when I see threads like this. My 5ft wife has zero problems getting in Broncos. Is this just a problem with people not used to entering trucks of any sort?

Edit: I missed the 2" lift! I could see that making it a bit tougher.

This thread is full of very specific, very solvable problems... and it's so funny to see how the worst possible solutions are what arise, lol
