How Retractable Truck Steps Can Make Your Jeep Safe & Family-Friendly

Clambering in and out of a Jeep isn’t easy for everybody. If you have children or elderly family members who ride in your Jeep, they might need some extra help getting in and out of the vehicle safely. Installing retractable truck steps can be a good way to make your Jeep more accessible and more fun to ride in for the whole family.

The Benefits of Retractable Steps

Retractable steps and running boards serve a similar purpose: they give passengers an easy way to step up into your vehicle. But the two aren’t interchangeable, so its important to consider which is best for your situation.

Retractable truck steps are usually adjustable in terms of height. This is a useful benefit if you have small children who need a step that’s closer to the ground. Its also helpful if your Jeep has a lifted suspension or especially tall truck tires. Most retractable steps can be removed without damaging your vehicle, and they are typically less expensive than running boards.

Should You Get Truck Running Boards?

Running boards are another type of accessory that give you a step up into your vehicle. These long, narrow bars are installed on either side of your Jeep. Most of the time, you can’t adjust these boards to be closer to or farther from the ground. However, the retractable variety folds underneath your vehicle when the doors are closed, which prevents them from catching on obstacles. Running boards can usually bear more weight than truck steps, making them a good option if only adults ride in your Jeep.

About the Toyota FJ Cruiser: The vehicle is a retro style, mid-size SUV with styling and off road performance reminiscent of the original Toyota Land Cruiser (FJ40). The “FJ” in the Toyota FJ Cruiser’s name refers to the chassis specification code of the Toyota FJ40 Land Cruiser. The classic Land Cruiser was produced worldwide from 1960 until 1984. And like the old FJ40, the Toyota FJ Cruiser has superior off-road capabilities.

The production of the FJ Cruiser has been discontinued in 2014 and only a handful is available in showrooms. If you want one, now is the time to get it. However, excitement and capability live on with adventure-ready Toyota vehicles. In the Philippines, the excitement over these vehicles is very much alive with the upcoming Pilipinas FJ Summit™.

Pilipinas FJ Summit 2017 : Off-Road Showcase

There’s something about offroad vehicles that brings out the adventurer in us. We’d like to traverse the roads less taken, go deep into the safaris, cross rivers and deserts. We can go literally almost everywhere with those monsters. When we ride one, nothing can hold us back! And whenever we think of 4x4s, flashbacks of our daddy’s or grandpa’s Toyota Landcruiser FJ40 comes into mind, crossing those bumpy pothole filled roads and flooded streets. It was the king of the highway. FJ40s are so tough you can still see some on the road. Big wheels, indestructible body, strong engines, rugged styling, and oozing with machismo. So much for the introduction. Lo and behold the revival of Toyota’s FJ40, the one and only FJ Cruiser.
