legs bump steering wheel getting in

I'm hoping once I get my lift installed it will be a tad easier getting into it.

 

Im thinking the same, but then Im gonna put sliders on, with steps, so it will probably become a bigger pain in the ass to get into.

 

Its all because Toyota wanted to make an extra 10 bucks by leaving off the drivers side pillar handle.

 

I have the body mounted stock side steps. Sliders should stick out past the rocker panel about the same. I have no issues stepping over the side steps to get into my truck.

 

Yep. I have sliders and a 2 inch lift and it is much harder. At 5' 10" I swing my right leg and butt cheek in. Throw my upper body in and use my left leg on the slider to finish my less than graceful entry.

If I step up on the slider my body is too high and I slam my right thigh into the steering wheel.

Maybe there should be a new thread on how to enter your taco. Maybe some videos ...................

 

Try putting your right leg in first

Kidding. I had the same problem on first test drive, almost didn't go for a second. Anyway, a little seat and wheel adjustment to where you will like it once in. When I get in, I always put my foot directly under break peddle as far in as I can, then easy peasy. Second nature now, but I too fought with it initially. It's not a great design, and I'm only 6' tall. I'm sure a tall guy could have some problems, same goes for sunroof. Everything I test drove had a sunroof, I hated it, but knew that my offroad would have a fait bit more head room.

 

You think thats funny, but you should see my wife try to get in the passenger side of any P/U.

 

My ex has issues, recently she got halfway in my truck and somehow fell out into the dirt. No, I did not laugh (out loud).

 

LOL. My wife hasn't done that. She just gets in with her right foot first. She only does this in P/Us. I can not for the life of me figure out why, I have even asked her, and yes I DO laugh at her every single time. She just tells me to fuck off and leave her alone.
