Quick connect or Nightmare?

For slightly more than a C-note to Home Depot you can buy a drop-step supported by steel cables that allow it to be struck by stones/boulders/sticks/etc without damage because it will flex. Looks like you could use two bolts thru two existing holes and mount it under your present step:

Two clamps, a piece of pipe and couple of 90 degree brackets, screws and nuts and Bingo!
