One-Leg Strength Exercise Variations?

I vastly prefer one-legged strength moves for my leg days, but I'm getting bored with my routine. Can anyone suggest variations or new exercises for me? So far, I do:
-One-legged Romanian deadlifts with dumbells
-Weighted step ups
-Split squats
-Weighted one-legged bridges
-One-legged calf raises with weights
I'm especially looking for exercises that focus on inner/outer thighs and glutes.

Click on the muscle you want a movement for, scan through the list of items you can use for resistance, notice which ones mention split like you've got. There are a few others depending on your equipment, sometimes just watching another movement can give ideas for a tweak too.

Pistol squats, Rope pull throughs, barbell hack squats, sissy squats. There are so many variations off the top of my head I can't think of them all right now.

-Single leg hip thrusts - so many variations... shoulders on bench, feet-up, with bands, with a small barbell or dumbbell once you get really proficient
-Glute march
-Pistol squats (assisted/unassisted)
-Single-leg box squats
- Cable or band kickbacks
- Cable or band abductions
- Banded fire-hydrants
- Banded Clamshells
- Lunges - so many variations here.. forward, backward, crossover, curtsy, deficit side lunges, etc.
