i suppose at this point i should mention some things that slightly inhibit my getting in to my fender.
I fractured my back (not ridiculously badly but its stiff) about 10 years ago at t4 level
i have both my ankles fused due to arthritis so have not a lot of flex in my feet
nerve damage in left foot
i have dodgy right knee
i have a chronic rotator cuff problem in my left shoulder
all that hurts somewhat.
so i think i can be excused the 'gay hop/slide'

Not tried for a few years, but used to be able to kick a beer can off the top of a door. Was me party trick If I reached the can It was mine If I missed I gave you a can of beer. Never lost the bet. But I got ****ed a few times.

can't think how I get in my 2" lifted D1 on 235/70/16 road tyres I'll have to think about it in the morning and report back. I'm 6'3" so don't really struggle but it's funny watching my 4 year old climb in with no side steps lol can't wait to see what it's like with my 7.50/16 mud tyres on it

i mentioned this thread to my manager today I'm 6'3" he's about 5'9" and he did a real camp hop and slide with the limp wrists and a gay slide out again lol tried to get him to do it again to get a video to put up but he wouldn't do it again.
I have figured how I get in, left foot in footwell lift up with hand on steering wheel and sit then I slide round and out

I've been watching myself over the past couple of days. I tent to put my left hand on the steering wheel, and left foot in the footwell and give myself a bit of a boost with the right foot which is still on the ground at that point. That gets my bum on the seat and then I can slide over a bit and get my right leg in. Ignition on, and then I can put my seat belt on whilst the engine check and glowplug lights are on and then it's ready to start.

I tried this today and initially my left foot kicks up the edge of the carpet and sound proofing so I need to lift it slightly higher than is natural for me. To address this I plan to do high knee lifts while watching tv in the evenings.
The seat is an inch too high to casually slide my arise onto the seat. I think it's slightly worse for me as they are cloth seats so sliding is not as easy as vinyl.
Pulling myself in needs more practice as I am not as flexible as needed to stoop my head in time.
This is definitely my favourite method as no campness required.
