I'd be interested in a version of these though; with better bottom support. I think I'd like to see something that didn't wrap so far around the side; something a little more inconspicuous from the front views. I know I could go with the door ladder, but I'm not a huge fan of those for some reason.

Oh well, in the meantime I'll just keep climbing up my tire carrier...LOL.

EDIT: Another thread with other images

There is support there! In the first photo, look closely on the side of the truck, directly under the side marker light. There is a flat piece of steel that comes in right under the body line. I'm not sure what it attaches to, but it's visible on both sides.

Edit: Did anyone else notice the sliders on the H20 H2?! They appear to be a solid plate all the way back to the frame!

I see what you're talking about...
...and yes, those sliders are crazy!

Well...even if I can't find the H20 ladder, there's always this:

JUST JOKES!

Does anyone have any experience with the folding grab steps? I see them a lot on emergency vehicles and other utility trucks that require roof access.

It looks like Buyers is about the only company that makes them; black, stainless, and black powder coated. I'm wondering how much weight they could take before they started to buckle/deform the sheet metal they'd be attached to.

I think thats an optical illusion. That caught my eye at first until I looked at other angles and you don't see that:

No...I'm convinced that it's a brace. You just can't see it in the side view. It's easier to see with the Desert Storm Tan against the black truck.

It almost looks like it attaches from the bottom, up into the rear fender? The metal that is there doesn't seem all that strong...

In terms of side protection, those seem to be pretty light duty.

Agreed.

That doesn't change the fact that I would love to have a set of them, I mean, they look badass!

As for side protection, I've been throwing around the idea of having a tree hugger style roof rack (similar to the H1 rack rubber duck makes) made for my H2.
