Power side steps

[Todd M]

I am trying to find out if anyone has installed power side steps to the original running boards. Any help would be great. Thanks Todd

I’ve been pursuing the web looking for the same answer. I would like to do the same. I neighbor installed some rock crawler type auto boards on his new Jeep Rubicon. I know it’s not the same just wondering if the same or similar would work under the sideboards of a FFPW.

Don’t get me wrong I love the FFPW but it is a little hard the climb in, an auto step would make it awesome as long as it retracted under the sideboard. Facing a bracket I think would be the challenge.

That is what I have been trying to figure out. I have a hard time getting it to a point where they do not show. Will probably have to modify the arm length of the step to get it to look reasonable.

Yes sir. Seems like I saw a pic of a Legacy PW and you could see the step under the running board (small gap). I personally would like it a little tighter. I’m no fabricator but know some guys that may be able to help figure it out, maybe. If I learn something I’ll be sure to share.

This may be an application for the milk-crate-on-a-tether, simple yet effective...

...they are quite stylish in certain circles, and multi-purpose to boot.
