Abstract

A step-up side rail system is designed to be attached to at least one (1) side frame of a pickup truck, or other similar large vehicle. The device provides a measure of protection from incidental contact while acting as step by which access to the cab, or other nearby portions of the vehicle, may be gained. The device is configured to accommodate a variety of vehicles and step widths.
