A handy way to access the roof rack
I saw this on Pinterest, anyone any idea who makes/sells them?
I'm not sure the door needs any more stress but it could be a better idea than drilling holes for a ladder?

A novel idea but as you say I'd be very wary of applying any more weight/pressure to the rear door/hinges.

Neat but not the most secure thing with it being strapped around your wheel. Back door hinges when the door is shut with a static load for short durations isn't a problem it's the weight of the wheel over longer periods and terrain that cause the issues

I had a ladder that clamped to the gutter rail and picked up on the rear cross member body mountings so no drilling required. I can't remember what make it was though but I'm sure a google will throw it up

^^^ I think Patriot Gutter to Chassis might be an option?

I'm sure I've seen those on the 4x4 overlander site. If Brendan sees this he'll let us know. Ray

Can't remember if they are on the website but they are definitely in the warehouse Laughing
Sometimes I think painting the forth rail bridge would be easier than keeping the website up to date.
