Steps onto the roof

paulodipoggio · Mar 8th, 2024, 22:16

Has anyone tried these?

https://ancestraloutdoors.com/easyroof

I normally step on back tyre or inside drivers side when loading the roofrack, but if the car is already heavily loded the self levelling suspension means there's little room on rear wheels

Wondering if its a gimmick and might rip off the door closure if a 15 stone bloke stands on it, or just dent inside of door frame?

Otherwise it "looks" a good idea?

I know they are cheaper elsewhere

Presumably a bit of a Dragons Den enterprise?

I bought mine from Amazon for £17 about 4 years ago, and its a fantastic piece of kit. Was skeptical at first, but it does hold my weight (16stone) with no issues!!

Just need to be good at balancing on one leg

That looks like quite a good idea.

Then again if I was making a tool to purposefully rip one of these out without unbolting it I would start off with something exactly like this.
