Try being a swing/cover driver. One day you have a brand new p-8 low step and the next day you got a 23 year old p-8 with the handrails six feet off the ground.
I'm kinda short, 5'6. These things are kicking my butt!!I took a pic of that too! I hate P8s with a passion. I drove my first 22 years with manual steering and a stick shift, I don't mind that. But climbing in and out of those mid 1980s P800 and P1000s is nothing but torture on your body. Whoever designed these cars deserves a special place in the underworld. Theres no telling how many injuries these have caused over the years. The handholds are too high, my arm was extended all the way when I grabbed it. I found myself grabbing the door frame at a lower height to pull myself up into the cab. I will take the 14" bottom step in my P7 anyday over a 22" P8 or P10.
We can just request the automotive to put handholds in for us??
Why didn't I already know this??

LOL, I've been a swing/cover driver for 14 of my 20 years as a driver and just rebid back into the nightmare. Trust me, I am well acquainted with the package car shuffle.

Being 5'8" doesn't help much.

I've read on here a few times that they will not put on lower hand rails because it will jeopardize the vehicles integrity I have also read on here that they will do it, no problem. In our center the mechanic's just received a shipment of 10 of the longer handrails and the mech told me they were for the older P800s. So it wouldn't hurt to ask.

This is where the philisophy of making your mechanic your BFF comes into play.Try being a swing/cover driver. One day you have a brand new p-8 low step and the next day you got a 23 year old p-8 with the handrails six feet off the ground.

I'm about an inch shorter than you. LOL

I have mine put no-skid tape on every truck that I'm in (where it is needed). You can get alot of things done when you schmooze the mech a little. LOL
