    I could have sworn my owner's manual said roof weight limit was 200lbs. Do you have supplemental support or are you just packing it on till the roof caves in some? ththth

    A ladder like the old econolines used to have would be an idea, but it wouldn't work with the rear hatch. If you were to put one on the side, then I would think you would need to reinforce the side sheetmetal. Those tire steps are ok, but weak.

    I'll have to see what brand of tire step I bought. (When I get home later) I weigh 330 lbs. and it hasn't failed me yet. It's fairly heavy duty. I don't know about the one in the link... the step surface is different from mine.

    I fold the back seat down and I can fairly easily stand on that and the tire. I have climbed up using the those plus a little weight on the door itself but most of my weight is supported by my arms pulling myself up holding onto the roof basket. I'm not recommended putting your whole weight on the door, just to help stabilize yourself as you clamber up.

    All right, how about something like this? A short step ladder you can through on top or in back when you done....
