Tacoma slider steps
I want to keep this 2021 TRD OffRoad "mostly-stock" but my 4'11" wife has difficulty getting in and out and now I'm thinking about steps. I don't expect to be in a position to need sliders but it could be a real possibility in the future. (Of course, if I need them ONCE, they are worth it.)
Here my thoughts on what I think I want:
A wide enough platform to have a confident step for "the girl" but not so wide that it's in my way when I don't use the step.
No rubber to get slippery when wet.
Some way for the ice and snow to be easily shed from the platform to get a no-slip feel after snowy or icy weather but no gnarly teeth or huge drain holes either so our special-needs dog can use it, too.
No way for a foot to slip under the body to get hurt.
I CAN'T HARDLY FIND A SITE WITH GOOD PICS of them installed on the vehicle and with the step tread.
Since shipping is soo expensive, how about some made somewhere in Arizona? Flagstaff? Or maybe Albuquerque? MANY of these fabricators' websites say nothing initially about where they are located!
I understand that installation can be difficult, especially if quality control is not quite up to snuff, but I'm NOT drilling holes in or welding to my frame.
How about all that?! Thoughts, anyone?
