Defender-Style Side Box and Ladder?

[HeHateMe]

Has anyone here purchased or have first-hand experience with this set?

Land Rover Defender Copy?

There is also a ladder (insert widdle wadder Toyota 4Runner joke), albeit from another "vendor"...?

There are no reviews, but the pictures look good, so just wondering if anyone here has them or seen them in person.

I have yet to see a ladder on a bronco. is there a specific reason why you would need one?

Awwww wook at da widdle wadder

If you're interested in that first set, It looks like its the same OEM-style roof rack that's available everywhere now, so you can probably buy the gear box and roof rack separately to save some money.

some find it difficult to access rooftop storage.

I personally would invest in one of those aluminum telescoping ladders before one mounted to the vehicle.

I wonder if that roof rack sits higher than the OEM so the front AND middle panels can be removed with it in place.

Well, I have the OEM rack, and this one looks OEM, but if you notice, goes all the way back on 4 doors...

The ladder and box need the additional back rail to mount to. And I'm guessing this rack has the predrilled holes.

I doubt it. But can't say for sure. It is different than OEM because it goes all the way back on the 4 door hardtop, not just the first mounting points.

Those with portals need a ladder to get gas... lol

does the ladder rely on the fender for support? I feel like I saw something similar but it looked like the ladder sat directly against the fender edge, had me nervous.

There's a Korean overland company I follow on youtube that has the ladder intergrated into their roof rack that looks super clean. It's mounted to the roof rack and the frame.

Skip to 1:30 to see it in action.

I was shopping around for this very thing, but in the end... decided to adapt an old roof-top tent ladder that simply just latches onto my @TrailRax Pax Rax.

Specifically decided to go with that approach so I could remove the ladder and use it for other things around the camp site if needed. Also already had the ladder so it was FAR cheaper than the Land Rover copycats. Seemed like a far better option overall than a more permanent solution.

Don't know of anything for the OEM roof rack though.

I don't think so. Mounts to rack then I think just rests against body?

Once extended, not sure as I don't believe I saw pics of that.

I stand on the tire.

Very interesting set up. Looks like a TrailRax knock off with boxes on PaxRax.

and, love the widdle wadder!
