quick removal step

Okay, first off i don't like steps on a lifted truck.I don't like the look of them. Anyway i have a very large friend 350+pds and he goes to all my shows with me. So i was thinking of building this step that hooks on the frame rail. I can take it off and throw it in the bed when he gets in the truck. what do you think?


would they work? anybody have anything like this?

Don't see why it wouldn't work. The popup camper Mom and Dad had when I was a kid had something like that for the doorway.

Another alternative is to look to the camping industry, they make motorized ones that come down when the door is open, then retract when the door closes.

My buddy has those on his truck. I believe 4wheelparts did them. They come down when the door opens and tuck up behind the rocker when the door closes. Pretty trick.
