Do these fold up or slide in or are they fixed?


twoguns - October 22nd, 2003 at 02:38 PM

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.


twoguns - October 22nd, 2003 at 03:15 PM

would you believe this was an ambualnce an creative put the extra into it.

i read somewhere that deluxe bays had a retracting sidestep that swung out when u opened the sliding door. not sure about in australia?


twoguns - October 23rd, 2003 at 01:27 PM

ive seen retractable steps on vanagons. spose one could be adapted...


jenz58 - October 23rd, 2003 at 01:37 PM

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


pyr0 - October 23rd, 2003 at 06:45 PM

ok now im going to get picky any pics of the steps up close ?? like how they mount ??

great pics by the way guys too :thumb


Kai.A. - October 23rd, 2003 at 07:03 PM

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
