Thanks for the photos that makes it very clear

Yep - there's a ladder at the rear: ![]() Click image to enlarge ...and one at the side now too! ![]() ![]() Click image to enlarge Be warned though, this rack makes fitting of a roof tent a bit of a pain - need to get some spacer blocks machined up to be happy with the clamping arrangement. |

I would have thought the ladder would bolt onto where the grab handle used to go on the crossemember, seems a very small attachment using the tub tab? Plus it would be rest on the body right? I wonder if they do a slightly deeper ladder. 2011 110 USW

Looks a great set up!
I've had a brownchruch rack for about 20yrs now and its on its 3rd defender. fab bit of kit ! The rack still looks very good, however the trianguar gutter supports do rust after about 5 yrs and need changing - but it's only about £25 to change the lot and it is an simple face lift to the vehicle. Its a classic proven design, simple material, and you can carry just about anything on it ! ![]() Elgar -TDCI(Puma) 110XS Dormobile - now sold Devon & Cornwall 4x4 Response - DC126 ![]() |

Most ladders use this position for their lower mounting. Darren 110 USW BUILD THREAD - EXPEDITION TRAILER - 200tdi 90 BUILD THREAD - SANKEY TRAILER - IG@landroveranorak "You came in that thing? You're braver than I thought!" - Princess Leia |
