Sal, I saw these pics on the expo forum and got to thinking about your ladder.
What about using your unistrut to create a ladder that can hook in the rail for stability
and easy removal.

I have thought about a tire step like the following:

If SA designed some sort of folding ladder, (so that it could be folded out of the way of the hatch, and brought back down when done) I'd probably be really interested in something like that. But yeah, currently I jump on my rear tire and balance my self off the rear door - while simultaneously loading stuff up. It's got to be a little tougher since I put bigger tires on.

Another pic....I was thinking an angle to space the top of the ladder from the XK.

My problem with the ladders is having to stow it once you're finished loading up. With all the crap I end up putting on and in the Jeep I don't have anywhere to put a ladder. I just climb up there on top. Thats easy enough for me now but what about for an older , or bigger, guy ? I think a ladder that would " hook " around, and sit on , the tire and then extend up to the rack and having a quick clamp design to attach to the roof rack would be ideal. I would want it to NOT touch the glass or sheet metal in any way. Of course it would either have to be collapsible or be easily taken apart so that you could easily stow it away.

I agree and is why I thought the L shape
and hook on the rail.

I have some ideas about how to do this just haven't had the time to get working on it yet.

If I am not mistaken, the Gobi ladder can be mounted to any WK. I am sure if you were to contact them about a product for the XK, they may just be able to develop something or utilize the XJ ladder.

This is what I will go with one day when I'm ready for a roof rack.
