Ctgriffi Posted August 4, 2023 Share Posted August 4, 2023 I haven't seen this question asked in awhile (or ever heard a conclusive answer, maybe?)—but has anybody installed a good pullout entry step that they'd recommend? Specifically, I'm looking into solutions for a 91 Warrior that never had a permanent pullout step, from the factory or otherwise. The Warrior does have a fairly sturdy sheetmetal structure around the interior doorway step that I might be able to bolt up thru for mounting, but I'm curious to see what others have done. Thanks!

Ctgriffi Posted August 16, 2023 Author Share Posted August 16, 2023 Maybe you all just take a running jump and hope for the best! So I ended up finding a great deal on a "Stromberg Carlson Manual RV Step" that was 20" wide with a 7.5" drop ("drop" is top of step-frame to top of step, when extended). To make the thing fit correctly against the bottom of the factory footwell, I welded on some angle to each side of the step frame, which gave me a little more mounting width and also (helpfully) dropped the step down a bit further. I dropped elevator bolts down through the left-and-right edges of the footwell (where the steel was thickest) and into the angle iron, secured with big fat washers and Grade 8 locknuts. Pretty easy to unbolt the whole thing and remove if needed. I'm not sure it's 100% perfect, but I'm pretty satisfied with the look and placement. Feels very sturdy! Probably will outlive the rest of the rig, I'm guessing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
