    OEM rear ladder

    Has anyone fitted the OEM rear ladder? I thought there was no drilling, but the instructions say to drill out a hole on the upper tailgate and use two of those collapsable nutserts and bolts, while still using the nuts and bolts that hold on the number plate light/handle.

    Is it stable enough without putting the two additional bolts in?

    Cheers

    I've got the Frontrunner ladder on mine - no holes to be drilled with that one.

    Getting Up

    I have added a smallish self adhesive rubber 'kick Panel' at the bottom rung as your boots / shoes tend to scratch the paintwork a bit as you climb up and down.

    Do you need the Frontrunner rack to use their ladder?
