hmmm, been trying to figure the ladder thing out for a while...temped by the RMW ladder but I need to access both side of the truck...surfboards on one side and a roof box on the other.


According to RMW's website the ladder can mount off any of the four corners where the jack lift points are. And moving it from one point to another seems pretty easy.

I'm thinking of this ladder also to access my Rocket box and a future solar panel.

I looked at this for my Syncro, but instead I am going with permanently mounted steps that fold up and stay up until I pull them down.
Any ideas on best place to mount?
Similar to these.

Maybe, I'd really like to pull the trigger on this one...but Kayakwesty mentioned a 15min install, so not sure how practical it would be for the alternate side. Perfect for the roof box though...
