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. .

Here's a rough pic but you'll get the idea, you could make it from 20x20x2 rhs
fully weld all joints and either spray or powder coat, easy enough to make so it will
fit all tyre sizes.
For swing aways either make it to suit the front or back should be plenty of room,
you only need clearance for 25mm if using 25x25x2 rhs
04 ST 3lt auto, not enough Mods to keep me happy, but getting there
Gday all, I got my ladder in time for Chrissie and it fitted up nicely. Thought I'd throw a pic up in case anyone was interested in seeing it.
Apologies for the angle in the photo, photography isn't my strong suit!
It feels strong and looks well made, very tidy welds and good powder coating, I'm very happy with it. Makes getting up and down from the roof a breeze. One minor thing I have noticed is that the top of the door can flex a tiny bit when I climb up, but it isn't much and touch wood doesn't seem to affect anything. It is quite light and doesn't affect door operation at all. I am not going to miss climbing up and down the spare wheel

Patrol'n came by yesterday and showed me the set up. Got to climb on someone else's Patrol for a change. Thanks Leigh. I'm placing an order - need I say more. Great idea and appears to be well made. Downsides are all controllable, don't climb on it when the door is open and don't put you feet through enough to kick the panel - common sense really.
Thanks again Leigh. Typical meet up of Patrol owners though, quick look at the ladder then bonnets up for half an hour or so.

Maybe some grip tape just to protect the treads a bit more.
Looks great and safe as well lol
Thanks for the reminder mate, it came with some grip tape, in my haste to get it on and try it out I forgot to put the grip tape on...
That and a perhaps a few Amber memory inhibitors that I consumed at Christmas had something to do with forgetting! Lol
