I'm imagining that some sort of retractable step must be available for some of the more extremely pumped 4WD's, which might be adaptable to a bus.

Might be interesting to search the web for a ready-made.

Mmmmm, I like the ex ambulance, and the duel cab:kiss

Some of the steps are so low that it makes you wonder how they go on a normal road with minor dips withoput doing some damage:o

they simply (or not so simply) slide into the jacking points, and then a single (self tapping?) screw holds each end in place.
they're not a good idea if you have weak/rusty jacking points, also, if your jacking points have been replaced at some point it may not line up so well.....
then theres the issue of clearing speed bumps and similar, i know for a fact that they took the step off the bluebays bus when they went on the ferry to france.....
all food for thought:thumb
