Rock rail step for "Shorty"

I'm looking for a "small" step that would attach to the rockrail so my wife has an easier time getting into my FJ . Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks

Re: Rock rail step for "Shorty"

Are you looking for something that is removable or mounted to the rock rail? Are you using the OEM rails or after market?

Re: Rock rail step for "Shorty"

The Rockrails are original Toyota brand. I would like a Folding step if there is such a thing. Thanks .............Ridgerunner ....Jim

Re: Rock rail step for "Shorty"

I saw a small folding step at Walmart a few months ago that might work. It wouldn't attach to the rails but it folds out to 2 stairs and looked compact enough to stash behind a seat or in the back without eating too much room.

My wife is also short and has to climb into the FJ. I was thinking of giving her some rope to get into it.

She currently drives a Hundai Elantra which my 6'4" self needs to be greased up to get in and out of. Suffice to say I don't ride very comfortably. She can climb a little.

I know Rhino sells something similar to this. I'm not exactly sure if you could mount it to the rock rails though.

Re: Rock rail step for "Shorty"

Here is something that must be in the works from Toyota. Looks like it might fit the bill. Also looks like it might be a good shin buster!

Re: Rock rail step for "Shorty"

I bought the steps shown by memphisFJ and installed them on my FJ. Great fit, easy to put on and take off with just a ratchet and box wrench. Set of two steps on ebay $94. Also available from the dealer at a much higher price.
