Dont like those. I got iag steps that bolted on the rock rails on my badlands Sasquatch. Look nice and small profile and wife approved.
Funny, I have a Gen 1 Raptor and my wife never bitched about getting in it.

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.
Sheā€™s not ā€œstuckā€, chief. She loves driving it. Looking for options to help her get in it solo. Power steps are garbage other than Rockslide Engineering and Iā€™m not ready to spend $2500 just yet.

Wait for a group buy on the RSE...you can save almost 20 percent.....by far the best mod on my bronco...not only does it make it so easier to get in and out...it will save your seats from getting destroyed especially if they are mgv...they are deployed at the perfect height where you're not sliding in and out of seat and it positions you to use that otherwise worthless grab handle.

Rope and an old school milk crate. My sister in law did for years with my brothers 77 Jimmy with a 6 inch lift and monster mudders.

This is what i did so the vertical challenged wife can get in. also helps with parents and in-laws. and they are easily removed when i want to go off road.

My wife is 5ft even and found it difficult to get into our Bronco as well. I am 6ft 1 inch and thought it's not the best feeling climbing in and out of but I can do it. I finally installed the RC drop down running boards after trying two different solid mount running boards. I highly recommend them. I further installed nylon grab handles on the roll cage. Now it's no problem for either of us.

Always easy to spend the other guys money, but your gas saving will pay you back in a year and the wife will appreciate the gesture.

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.
And if sheā€™s wearing any type of heel, more unsafe. Whatever you decide also consider Bartact paracord grab handles. USA company, variety of colors and excellent customer service - besides they work!
