Easy DIY removable steps for my 5 ton

I do a lot of car show plus Cars & Coffee and I hang a sign on my truck inviting parents and kids to climb in and take a pic. Peeps really love it cause most cars at shows are look but don't touch. A comment I've overheard over and over is how hard it is to get in and out. That plus my wife doesn't like the climb either. And truth be told, an extra step sure would help when doing maintenance at home.

I read lots of threads, Googled step solutions for big trucks and explored lots of options before I decided to just fab my own. I had hoped to find something that retracts or even something that flexes but most solutions were either expensive, ugly or not very MVish. So I decided on something that's removable. I leave the steps in place for shows and driving and maintenance, and then quickly remove if I decide to go off road. Hope you like!
