Easy access to my African Outback roof rack?
Hi Guys
I have fitted an African Outback roof rack on the roof of my bakkie, now I see there is a problem, how do I access it more easily than climbing like a monkey? Haha
Is there ladders or something that I can fit? Photos and ideas would be greatly appreciated.

I don't see the problem - jy het mos nou 'n roofrack waarop jy 'n leer kan vasmaak
I feel a lot less wise at 45 than I did at 15.

I have seen some step that one fits over the rear wheel and climb up, can be used either side. Sorry no pics.

Ek het die foto gekry opi net, maar weet nie of dit net op rhino racks werk nie, kan seker ook net 'n gewone daktent se leer gebruik?

Fit a spare wheel swing-arm at the back (if you don't already have) .... you get a big circular clamp that fits over the tyre and the clamp has a couple of foot holds on it (think they're available from Frontrunner).
When your road comes to an end ...... you need a HILUX!.
Life is like a jar of Jalapeño peppers ... what you do today, might burn your ass tomorrow.
Don't take life too seriously ..... no-one gets out alive.
It's not about waiting for storms to pass. It's about learning to dance in the rain.
And be yourself ..... everyone else is taken!

Nah, first step up is the bumper, thereafter it's easy.
