so i'm thinking of getting side steps. The wife kinda has difficulties getting in and out of the H3. I was thinking of the regular tubular side steps but i've seen somewhere where they offer power steps?
Are these worth the money? I think its cool that it tucks in when the doors are closed and come down when you open the door. Do they make them for our H3's?
thanks!

saw another fold down step browsing the other day that runs the entire length of the vehicle, but can't seem to relocate that link.

They are advertised to... if you go up one directory in the URL there is a whole ton of H3 stuff there. I'll look around for that other link.

Actually found the link. I don't know if this will work with an H3, you'll have to call their customer service number and find out. As long as its not too long I don't see why these wouldn't work. Might take some work though.

Even if those would work, you wouldn't want to have to take them off when you go off-roading.

Side steps work well for short people getting in and out. My wife is 5'2" and I am 5'9" and we use the steps all the time. I have the OEM chrome side steps. Since I use my H3 only for light offroading and for trips in the snow to ski, the steps are not a problem. But as noted by others, the steps should be removed for serious offroading.

i dont think i'll be doing "serious" off-roading. Mild to say the least.
I need the side steps not for me but for my wife. she's 4'11.
I was thinking of the power ones for the cool factor!

I'm not related to hmrlvr or anything, but his offer of black tube steps for $200 is pretty good. If you want to see what your truck might look like with them, check out:

I have the adventure package, but the overall look will be similar.
By the way, nice ride.
