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.
