Retractable running boards / side steps

Hey guys...

I have received a 1.5" 4Crawler body lift that I am about to install... and with the SS 7.2 lift that I already have, I think that it's going to be somewhat difficult for certain shorter people to get into my truck.

I have seen the retractable running boards on a few trucks before and really like the idea, but a search on the internet yielded no results for our 4Runners. Has anyone here seen / heard of these for our trucks?

Do you not have sliders...?
If not those make good "steps" for the shorter women in your life...

Rectractable running boards are gay.

Go help the short women get into the truck with a "boost".

My wife is 5'-0" so I just pick her up and put her in the truck.

Like stated above, get some sliders with an extra step down piece, kind of like the FJ cruisers sliders from the factory.
