We do run standing in the rough; about 25% of the time.
I had copied an idea from JMK and added a swing down step. The step works to help get onto the deck and gives the passenger a foot hold when running.
As for a passenger side handle, I would like to add one too.

Here's another angle of the footrest. I don't think it will be in the way if someone wanted to stand. It might actually help. You know what happens when you are designing something. You spend hours thinking about it and sometimes overlook issues. I'll see how it works out. If it doesn't, I only have three small holes to fix (pic1). It protrudes about as far as the dash on the driver's side.

It looks good and great idea.
I am wondering if the top hatch bounce up and down if your out by yourself in the ruff?
My cabin hatch used to do that until I put a latch on it.
