    I suspect that ladders are used if you want to climb up and walk around on the roof.

    I walk around on my roof rack securing things that I can't from below, and there are times when a ladder would be nice. It's probably a lot safer than the ninja technique I've been using for the last four years. :spy:

    In your photos, I've seen the rear ladder, but never seen the side ladder. It seems that side ladder would vibrate quite a bit off road. :notsure:

    Yeah that is from a company that just started making armor. They say it is perfectly sturdy though.
    Most will. Anything that bolts on just needs different bolts and such.

    Most stuff like their table will probably need some modification.

    Alright, Great suggestions I think we should edit the EAF ro sham bo game to be - ladder / snorkel / tent

    Ladder = climbing motion

    Snorkel = elephant nose motion with your arm in front of your face

    Tent = kinda' like the Y motion in the YMCA dance like opening an RTT

    All we need now is a desert trip and a keg...this could get fun

    The other day someone mentioned the Slee Offroad ARB twin mount and I'm really glad I caught that in here because I've had a new twin sitting in my garage for a few months while I worked on ten other projects...waiting for the right mounting solution. Called them up last Thursday and had it this morning, really clean CNC cut and powder coated brackets and all hardware included. The kit relocates your power steering resi a few inches to open up space for the twin. I should specify that I have an 06' with the large ABS module occupying what would be the only other space large enough for the twin to fit under the hood.

    Pretty easy install, pull the washer tank, install PS resi relo bracket, bolt on the mounting bracket, bolt the twin to it and reinstall the washer tank.

    If you are running arb lockers the bracket also has mounting locations for the ARB manifold on the other side of the washer tank.

    No, I am going to plumb it over to a plate above my ABS module, I am building a plate ( similiar to the blue sea fuse panel plates everyone runs on the drivers side ) for my winch solenoid, the solenoid controller plug, the ARB quick connect and a couple of other connections.

    yes, I have done the mods
    I picked up the Slee single ARB compressor mount a couple weeks ago. Pretty similar install experience - simple and straightforward. You don't even really have to remove the washer fluid reservoir (for the single, anyway), you can unclip the pressure switch and just lean it back to get it clear; the washer fluid hose is pretty flexible.

    Would recommend. Glad I found it, too, as the more standard location for installing the ARB single in the engine bay - on the driver's fender rear of the fuse box - gets in the way of Redline hood struts and takes up space for aux fuse panels & my Switchpro.
