Troopy rear door ladder

I'm looking for Any after market brand that sells ladders for the troopy.

I've just found a mob called front runner that do one.
I can't seem to find the black widow ones online anymore. I saw the ladder fitted to a troopy At a show once.

Hi John

Isn’t that very bad for your door? When or if you go off road the hinges will get stuffed in no time, guaranteed. There is very good reason why people who goes off road spend so much money for carriers.

No Dana. Troopy hinges have a hard life anyway, especially the ones carrying the spare wheel. When off road (or onroad for that matter) the doors are solidly supported by the body. Why would this be any worse than mounting a ladder on the door? And yes, we've spent a lot of time offroad in this vehicle over the last 25 years!!

Cheers

Agreed John.
As in my photos below, there is an aluminium ladder on the small door and a spare wheel on the larger. This Troopy has done some pretty tough stuff off-road for over 6 years and there is no hinge problem. The hinges are not taking all the load when the doors are closed.
As a matter of fact, the only problem has been that the spare wheel load began to cause some body skin cracks around the mounting bracket. I added additional rib supports within the door cavity and have had no further problem.
I also have a 35 litre Waeco fridge mounted on the inside of the larger door which has caused no problem. It sits in contact with the floor when the door is closed to absorb any large shocks but is fully supported by the door when it is open.

Not a bad idea. We use to climb up onto the roof with my GU from the spare. They are known to have problems with the tailgate akin coming apart although we never had a problem with that. We did get a rattle in the tailgate though after some time. Even adjusting the strikers made no difference.

Our troopy never had the spare on the door. It was originally mounted under the car. The previous owner fitted two extra tanks so the spare is now mounted to a wheel carrier. It's just a single wheel carrier mounted to the original rear bar. I wouldn't trust it with any more weight than it already has. Especially some one climbing on and off it.

I think a ladder is the only option in our case.

We never had wheel on back door on Troopy.
We learned our lesson from having a wheel on door of our Landy.

But as they say:
''Errare humanum est.'' (Lucius Annaeus Seneca)

I agree you shouldn't need one especially if you have rear drawers installed. Step up onto the spare then climb onto roof rack. Use this method daily when travelling.

Cheers

that should be initial pull up not out.

howdy if this guy can't use it. Im interested if it could be made to fit 80 series tojo.

thanks
