I have a Gobi on the back of my 4 Runner. I like the look and I hang my Rotopax gas can on it. With the 200 a ladder will be limiting in terms of the rear gate opening since it is 2 piece ? Is that correct? Thanks
 
Negative, the Gobi ladder works great on the 200! There is no restricted operation of the back hatch. I know a few people here run them, including myself. It's a stout ladder and I really appreciate it when I'm getting up on the roof.

Prepare for a pretty long lead time, they don't keep any in stock for some reason. I think mine took about 2 months to arrive.
 
it works well on the LC - the LX is a bit different but it can work around the spoiler issue
 
I am very pleased with mine. This is in part because I have a walk-on-top (Gobi) roof rack and I am often up on the roof. (You don't need a Gobi roof rack to have a Gobi ladder.) One difference between what you have on your 4Runner and the LC is that your 4R ladder extends all the way down to the bottom of the tailgate. Due to the split tailgate on the LC, the ladder only extends down to the top half of the tailgate. The shorter length may limit some use cases but it hasn't been an issue for me. When I'm not starting out standing on the lowered tailgate I can stand on the bumper and from there step up to the ladder. I just prefer to use the lower tailgate as a much more substantial platform. (With the upper portion of the tailgate lowered of course.) Here is a pic of the back of our LC that shows the ladder. Note that I also put grip tape on the steps to make sure I didn't slip off when it is wet. The small, red accents are just for fun and to help me see the location of the steps when coming off the roof at night.

Thank you, that clears it up for me.
