Steps and grab handles

I am considering the exact thing you are showing on your wrecked truck. I'm thinking a tractor step or a mud traction mat bolted up tight to the rocker and out just enough to get reasonable footing. But, I'm also thinking about making them removable using handle nuts or something; I could take them off and actually use them for mud or snow traction in a stuck situation. But there's more, I also want to incorporate some channel lip on a custom front bumper so I could remove the side steps and then attach them to the bumper to create a deck to stand on to work on the engine. I really like the deck you get when you put a rear bumper on the front. But I hate how they stick out. I'm thinking of keeping my winch down low in the frame and making a bumper up tight to the front. A removable deck would be nice.

Pie the sky... but I might as well dream in color!

That's some cool thinking there. Should work out nice. The wreck was caused by anti-freeze on a curve from an accident that had just been cleared away. I mean the cop and EMTs were just coming back up the hill from turning around at the river (county line).

Doesn't CARR make a cast aluminum step like that Warn one?
