| Finally mounted it to my roof for the trip on the Rubicon. We will likely sleep with it on the Truck when we camp on the trail Wednesday night and then take it off when we get to Rubicon springs so we can "play" and not have to disturb our camp.
Was easy carrying it up for the basement and installing it on the roof myself.
The ladder is stout and easily took my weight and I wasn't afraid of it slipping.
I had to decide which way to mount it.
The best areodynamic method would be like the puicture above where less surface is facing forward, but as in the pictures, it puts the ladder in the rear.
That did not fit well with my lift and spare tire carrier, the angle just didn't work. I could leave the gate open all night.
My preference is to have the ladder exit the side and thats how I finally mounted it after trying it the different ways. Drove about 20 minutes on the highway at 80 mph to test iut and there were no issues.
