Q Andrew Ott • 03/27/2020, 1:39:07 AM How far does this extend from the rear gate? I have a single tire swing out and want to make sure the tire will clear the ladder.

A 04/06/2020, 1:46:00 PM It extends a maximum of about ~10" off the gate.

Q Marcos Hernandez • 03/28/2020, 6:12:39 AM Is there a jerry can attachment available for this? Single? or Dual?

A 04/06/2020, 1:46:00 PM It is designed for a single Rotopax mount and 2 Gallon Rotopax can.

Q Hiroshi Thomas • 03/28/2020, 1:14:49 PM How much weight can the ladder support?

A 04/06/2020, 3:16:26 PM We have tested it at 250 static weight. We don't recommend much more than 40 lbs or so dynamic.

Q KYLE • 05/12/2020, 2:00:33 PM Heads up, the links to the stronger shocks, I don't believe are for a 4runner, When I find shocks on their website it gives a different product -> https://www.liftsupportsdepot.com/lift-support-with-pm3891-w/ . It appears both of your links may be pointing to the wrong place

A 05/15/2020, 1:52:09 PM We are suggesting struts from a non 4Runner fitment.

Q Brad • 05/28/2020, 2:50:12 AM What mounts do I need to add the rotopax to my ladder?

A 06/01/2020, 10:08:59 AM You would just need a RotoPax PAX Mount.

Q Rob • 05/28/2020, 12:35:11 PM Does it work with the Ecotechne Roof Rack?

A 06/01/2020, 10:08:59 AM We have not tested it with that rack, but this ladder is designed to not take up much more clearance than the factory hatch sheet metal.

Q Kevin • 06/08/2020, 7:55:12 PM what is the weight capacity? I am 320lb will it hold me climbing up half way to load gear on the roof rack? thanks

A 06/10/2020, 4:43:34 PM We've had 375ish up there to see how it flexes and it seems to be just fine. We don't have any long term testing on this, nor do we know how this will affect the hatch. The capacity of this rack would be at your own discretion.

Q Jason • 07/31/2020, 7:06:51 PM 2007 4Runner with NO Spoiler on the hatch. Is the top mount different for a 4runner with no spoiler than the one shown in the install video?

A 08/05/2020, 11:01:24 AM The ladder includes both style mounts.

Q Ramzi • 11/17/2020, 6:11:02 PM What is the max dynamic weight this can hold? Can a bike fork mount be added?

A 11/23/2020, 11:48:44 AM We would not recommend hanging a bike off from it just because of the leverage.

Q Ron • 01/10/2021, 0:38:13 AM The photos have the ladder going both over and under the spoiler. Is there an option for both? I have a spoiler and would like the ladder to go over it.

A 01/14/2021, 11:34:38 AM The 4th Gen ladder mount goes under the spoiler, the 5th Gen goes over the spoiler.

Q Jt • 01/30/2021, 3:44:28 AM Could you mount a spare tire to this ladder?

Q Yoana • 04/07/2021, 10:39:06 PM Hi! I just got a UPTOP bravo roof rack installed 5th gen 4runner. Would this be compatible with it? Or does it not interfere with the rack at all when installing? -Thanks in advance!

A 04/12/2021, 1:13:17 PM Based on the assumption that the ladder in the uptop overland product photos clears, it looks like ours will clear as well.

Q Phillip Napoletan • 04/22/2021, 6:42:22 PM Does the 5th generation back hatch ladder have a foam padding or foam adhesive recommended at installation for a more snug fit to absorb assorted vibration? Thank you.

A 04/28/2021, 6:16:52 PM The top mount includes 3m adhesive tape.

A 02/16/2022, 9:14:24 AM It will not.

Q Beau Davis • 04/06/2022, 7:58:30 PM My 4R is ceramic coated, will that cause an issue with adhesion of the top plate on the ladder? This mystery is the only thing holding me back from placing an order.....

A 04/26/2022, 1:29:33 PM You will need to clean the spoiler area and remove the coating for the adhesive to adhere well.

Q Luke • 05/10/2022, 9:17:25 PM Any chance that y'all will make a ladder for the 3rd Gen 4runner? Or some sort of adapter kit for this product so that it will fit 3rd Gen? I have y'all's roof rack and it would feel illegal to have a Gobi ladder attached to it.

A 05/16/2022, 10:04:23 AM It's a possibility, but we don't have concrete plans for a 3rd Gen ladder as of now.

Q Ryan Diedrich • 06/02/2022, 4:50:43 PM Can you confirm where the ~10" horizontal projection from the rear lift gate is taken from for this ladder, please? Trying to confirm fitment with the Rigd Ultraswing.

Q Tom • 10/14/2022, 11:13:38 PM Will this work with a RCI rack?

A 10/18/2022, 2:54:59 PM We haven't tested that specifically but looking at photos, the back of their rack stops in a similar location to ours, so it should be fine.

Q Rowan • 11/02/2022, 10:52:04 PM Is there any reason this absolutely HAS to be mounted on the driver's side? Would it fit on the passanger side?

A 11/03/2022, 12:16:41 PM It is only designed to fit the driver's side.

Q Brady Barrett • 12/08/2022, 11:46:18 PM Will this ladder work with the Rhino Rack Pioneer Rack with Backbone system? The hatch would not open completely with the Gobi ladder installed.

RUST!

★ ★ ★

Shaun Bowling (Macomb, MI) | July 7th, 2022

I am writing this because I am wishing I went another direction for my ladder. It installed fine and looked great when new, however 1 Michigan winter and the powder coat started pealing, then the rust came. I called about this issue and was politely told that the powder coat wasn’t warranted. Painting was recommended…

Okay quality

Justin Baggett (Portsmouth Virginia) | July 17th, 2021

I received mine a few months ago and after some use here is a unbiased review on it. Apon arrival I noticed that everything was packaged well, box undamaged and all hardware accounted for. Everything is great quality when it comes to the material. Once I got it together I was pleased with the rigidity of it, however fitment of steps is poor, when bolts are tightened, parts of the stairs bow out and look bad, makes things look uneven and not aligned, and that’s a major problem to me as I don’t like uneven/cheap looking pieces like this that cost so much. Wish I would have went with a westScott’s or a C4 setup. I will say the victory ladder looks great with my uptop overland roof rack though!

Longer lead times than shown

Joey | August 23rd, 2020

After finally receiving my order 3 weeks past the extended lead time as shown on the website. The top of the ladder was sticking outside of the box on arrival and the powdercoat was damaged. I didn't receive all of the parts I needed for install. It does look well built, just don't expect it to arrive anywhere in the timeline provided, or possibly with all the parts included. Overall... dissapointed.
