PICS PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Please to god say it has a solid axle.

 

Pretty sure OP is looking for a sased truck.. has been for a while IIRC.


OP.. Get some chain welded to the sliders in the form of a single saddle step.. that'd be pretty badass.

 

I'm considering buying a tacoma with about a 10 Inch lift

6" fagtech, 4" body? :xozzy:

what about one of those folding ramps people use for dirtbikes and such? wifey can walk right up it, and then you can fold it up and throw it in the back...or this:

my wife loves this thing for reach top shelves and shit...

 

Here's a pic of what I mean..
I'd make it smaller if I were to do it though.

a couple of assumptions...truck is SAS and you have way the hell too much lift.

with sq-tube sliders you can fab up a removable step that fits over the outside tube...get in the truck, than pull off the step and throw it in the back.

another idea I saw one Rubicon trip was a chain/bar setup that was bolted to the slider. Chain was heavy duty, 3/8" type. His setup worked very well and didn't hang up on anything.

 

Someone already mentioned the electric step. A guy I fish wish has one on his lifted superduty. Looked pretty cool, open the door it drops down, door closes sucks back up under the door. Couldn't tell you what they run or how hard they are to install.

 

Yeah, but what if your on a rock and open the door

 

i thought it would be funny to post a rope ladder or something, but then i found this:

who knew ladders were such serious business?

 

Here's what I did, helps load by ass in the truck and is functional to boot...

Started out with some All Pro Sliders...

And made the drivers side slider retractable (slider half way down in this pic)...

Works off 2 hydraulic rams, here is the front ram...

And here's the rear ram and the valve that controls the slider up/down...

Of coarse this is entirely obtrusive inside the cab but in my case I was able to attach the majority of it to the internal cage. It also requires hydraulics to make it functional, which with the full hydro steering was not a problem for me. I certainly don't suggest putting this in a daily driver...but since the topic popped up, I decided to post my little contraption.

 

Neat little invention you got there!

Those rams look pretty burly... how much force can you exert with those things... can they work as a 'jack'? I see being able to lift the truck up (slider already over a boulder, etc), and have some folks toss some rocks under the tires, then let the truck back down and you're on your way!

 

oh god please let this thread be duplicated outside n00b. fml.

i think that toyminator's solution, as a moving step rather than moving the entire slider, would do the job for what you need and it would be less fabrication work than doing the entire slider. you could use a hydro jack from radflo or something similar, i think king makes one too, then you could lower the step and the person could just get on the step and operate the jack and raise themselves up.

you could do it with a trailer jack & hand crank too. even a pinned piece of box tube with holes would work, but it couldn't be operated with one hand and it'll be dirtier than a removable hand crank or a jack handle.

that is all the seriousness i got...i am withholding a veritable cornucopia of critical unformation.

 

Nic had that goofy ass step on her rig while she was preggers. But she didn't wheel with it obviously.

And I'm not gonna lie, I haul myself up into Tipy even with a skirt on. Your wife can do it too

Shannon, I never got to see your slider RAM fix. That's cool!

 

Cheapest and easiest solution......leave the wife at home!! :shiner:

 

maybe not the cheapest in the long run
