Poor Boy AMP Steps

[arizona 71]

Last year my bronco sat in the pits with a bad engine miss from a stuck injector. So this year at the Arizona Stampede I was determined to be able after a complete drivetrain overhaul and a new injector to drive my own rig.
My wife, copilot and bronco finance consultant was having a hard time getting into my jacked up bronco. And layed down the law, if you want me to go I need some STEPS. I love those AMP power steps people have been putting on there broncos, but the price" Holy crap" So I came up with something in between. I have never seen these on a bronco but cant believe I'm the first to try. I used the single side access step Amp makes for the super duty and made my own bracket. I made the bracket to bolt or sandwich to the frame I don't like to weld to the frame unless I have to.
I thought some of you would like this it works very well and the step can be stowed or deployed from the cab with a little practice. Gary

And you're now selling said brackets for how much?

Looks awesome, now take my money!

Please I beg you don't let my wife, copilot and bronco finance consultant see this.

Very nice work!

Nice job!

I have thought of doing the same many times, but how do you get it down to step out and then back up after in the vehicle?

Very nice. Since this can just be done as a single step, it would eliminate all the complaints coming from the passenger side. I agree with bigmuddy, this is something I have thought about, but since nobody had discussed doing it, I assumed there was some issue.
It would be really nice if you could provide a few more details about the "bracket" that you had to make and anything else, just so any of us who want to give it a try will know what we are getting into. Good job

Kinda looks like the AMP research Tacoma bed step I have........manually push it down and manually bush it back up. Not sure how it would work on a Bronco unless the driver does it each time before the passenger gets out and after they get back in......CHIVALRY!!!!

Love mine on the Tacoma - old and bad knees - makes it much easier to get in and out of the bed.
