Lifted D1 - assistance for vertically challenged

[steveG]

Now that I've done a 2" lift on my D1, my wife - who is a little vertically challenged - is having trouble getting into it.
Its only going to get worse when I get new tyres, so what options are there to make it easier for her to get in.

The only things I can think of are a grab handle on the A pillar, or a side step.

Anyone had the same issue or got any good suggestions?

PS: Leaving her at home or gym work/Jenny Craig to improve agility are NOT good suggestions :D

A-Z and L-k white pages on castors :p, can she reach the pass side grab handle ?

Trade it in on a D3. Program her key so that it settles to access hieght when she presses the button:D

I'm 6'3" and my Mrs is 5'2", so I know the issue.

LOL - took me a while !!!
Its an SRS airbag model so no grab handle on the dash :-(

How about electric side steps like on the Lincoln Navigator. Push a button, & out they slide. I sure you could get the option of having 2 steps, so that it would be just like walking up stairs...:p

Well i think seeing you were the person who got the lift you should lay on the ground when she needs to get in and out so she can use you as a step :)...its a cheap option!

Or some side steps would be good.

Well my Rangie has a 2inch lift and recaros with big side bolsters.
BUT she says it good fun getting in.

Iv actually had a cloes female companion fall out face first onto tar...that was apparently too far.

Hmmmm. Trading in looks better by the minute :angel:

Ah i know! why don't you remove the lift kit on the left side...there may be a few side effect but you could take left handers with speed :p

Yeah - go great on the speedway track just down the road.

Seriously now....anyone installed a grab handle on the passengers A pillar. I'm pretty sure I've used them in other vehicles and it seems to be just the right place to have something to swing off.

Could you modify one of those self retracting steps that were available for the rear door?

Might have to put one on each side for symetry but could work

Hope it helps

I have actually had a distant female companion fall in face first....that was apparently too close

mmm, the age old question.....cars Vs girls

2 inch lift wont wine everytime you wanna go somewhere
body lift wont either
33 to 42 inch tyres wont either
disco wont either...well most the time it will wanna leave the driveway but it will have seperation issues with its oil spots on the driveway

girls...well :confused:

get those 36 inch tyres and one day you will look back and be thankful you did ;);););););)
