Thanks for the info cutty. Not sure what I'll do. Want to test drive the vw & volvo this weekend.

Are those side steps power or push?

getting in and out of the jeep is a bitch, not only is it jacked up, but you have to make it up into the tub!:wtfru:

i love it, but i am thinking a set of rock rails/ steps are in order stat!

I'm guessing the "automatic" makes 'em power unless there's some mechanical connection between the door and step.

I've never seen a non power set, so we'll go with that.

Power and lit with LEDs. These are a necessity with this truck. Even with my inseam I have to use the step to get in and out of this truck. I just hated the look of those shiny stock ones. And, the permanent steps didn't make sense to me on something this tall - why have it that tall if you have something that is going to potentially catch on crap?

Yeah it just lowers your ground clearance Clarance
