Yeah check the ad out. It hooks over the top of the small barn door and clamps onto the bottom of it.

Yep, mounts onto the back door, it seems like a good design, and with my dodgy knees and back, it seems a lot safer than climbing up the spare wheel to get to the roof

This style of door ladder is very very common of Japanese exports vehicle into NewZealand. Safaris over there are generally grey imports and more than half of them have a factory ladder fitted. GUs also have them. I have been surprised why we eng see them here.

The only good thing about an 80 series is..... the front end?? Wrong!!, the Engine?? Wrong!! the Full Time 4WD system?? Wrong!! Its the NissanPatrol.com.au stubby holder fitted over the transfer lever.

I like the idea of a ladder, as it can be a pain getting up on the roof. But how would one of these go if you have a rear wheel carrier? Probably wouldn't fit due to the lack of clearance. Are there any other options?

This is something I have thought of too, as a rear wheel carrier is on my wish list, a side ladder would probably work, although three dogs said he thinks they're illegal where he lives now so it would pay to check first. By looking at the pics (my ladder hasn't arrived yet), I don't think a wheel carrier would fit with the ladder I've ordered, but I won't know till I get it fitted up.
I haven't thought of a firm solution yet, although when we do our big trip if necessary I'll have to put my second spare on the roof.
Can I suggest you send biggqwesty a message and see what he can knock up, he might be able to figure out a solution, I believe he'll be making some ladders early next year.

That's a good point about the swing aways.
What sorta room do you guys have between door and tyre carrier?
I can make to fit but if your only going to get a toe on it then it's pretty pointless.
But I'm having a brain wave..
Who has a dual tyre carrier or jerry can holder and has a arb or similar bar PM me.. I'll need some pics. .

These rear ladders have been around for years and years, one I remember had a small ladder from the centre of your spare wheel on door.
On top of the wheel was a shelf [600mm x 200mm] you could stand on this was fitted via the captive nuts in the door.
Easy enough to knock one up, Ill put a drawing here later for you to look at.
So basically a two piece ladder
That shelf was also to strap some gear to as well ,
very easy to make if you're handy with a welder and
can read a tape measure
