Anybody install powersteps?

[levelhead]

I'm getting long in the tooth and jumping in and out of my lifted FSJ's is getting difficult (and impossible for my wife)...Has anybody adapted powersteps from a later model truck? I don't want fixed steps hanging down in the breeze. I tried to convince Rock Slide Engineering to build a version of theirs...no luck so far. Anybody pulled it off or is considering it?

It'll take some searching in the build threads here but there was a feller building a truck who made some power steps and said he was going to market them. Was Army green but I think it was a J-something or other if I recall correctly.

Last post was probably more than two years ago.

I was considering the same thing for my truck because even at stock height my wife cant get in my truck without a step up.

Was hoping when I seen the thread that there was something done already, I love them things. Crawled under a few trucks with them to see how they mounted, doable, but I don't want to mount them to the rockers like they do. I'm not a fan of welding mounts to the frame either but that is what I'll be doing.

Just finished installing power steps on my lifted 77 Wag....not a super tuff job....they work real well...can't hardly see them when they are up...and sit in good spot when deployed...I will post details in coming days...pics may be a problem because of my limited computing capabilities....I may need to email another member to post pics......more info soon.

Very cool! Look forward to more info.

I won't be installing them on mine (too many fishes to fry before that) but would love to see them, too! 'Scribed!

FastEddie has a build thread where he installed some.

I can't load the pics for some reason....I resized them but still says they are to big? I can load pics on Ebay etc. but no luck here

Wow! Those look SOOOooooo much better than I was envisioning!!! My wife would LOVE those on my rig (she's a shrimp so she has a tough time getting in, even though i am not really lifted).

What is the part number for those and how do we find them? What is the install like? I assume you run 12v to them, a good ground, and they use the door light switch to know when to come down/go up? Do they come with their own switch? How much do they weigh? Are they pretty rugged? I wouldn't expect them to be rock slider rugged but would they at least stand up to some battering? Do you bolt them to the floor boards or behind the rockers? How many holes did you have to drill?

The do actually look pretty darn good. I don't need any but would like to see an install thread on them.

[SJTD]

Pics? I only see them extended. Please tell me there's not another.

Any chance there is a part number or length for these? I am very interested.

I've always wanted to do the power steps as well since I'm not tall to begin with and it would really help my kids too. I looked into the power steps by bestop. They work via a wifi type signal, but I've read that there can be issues with these steps. I however do prefer the AMP steps and this configuration looks fantastic!
I would also love to see a write up with maybe a part number of the steps used. But I'm very curious of how these were mounted and more importantly how they were wired up.
