I think I have seen one, not the OEM but the one that goes on the middle of the bumper?
It went for 250$?

I am looking for one too but they are really hard to come across.

400$?
Do I want it this much?...

I like the look of Terzo, they seem to be very hard to get thou.

I think mine came out to $340 but yah, finding a ladder is tough. My wife gave me the go-ahead early on because I am constantly using the roof basket for work and stuff. Really needed it.

surfing looking for a ladder... Found that the PIAA site lists ladders/ski carriers when you're on their Japanese language page, but when you switch to English the product category disappears from the left-hand side menu.

It's kind of neat how they use the ladder to hold brackets to hold skis. I wouldn't drive down the highway for hundreds of km with expensive skis outside like that, for fear of damaging them, but by leaving the skis outside it also leaves the snow and water outside as well, I imagine. It shows they have designers who are thinking things through and trying to improve their products.

According to this post looks like PIAA were making a ladder for another vehicle, but they stopped making them. :shock:

If we had drawings I wonder how much it would cost to get a ladder done locally by a welding / machine shop.

New ladder from Japan would be pretty pricy, I have seen new ones for over 400$. Add shipping on the top of it.
Machine shop? Material + labor + profit, would probably sum up to 400$ as well...
Besides its not only the ladder but the hardware they would have to work out and that would be time consuming.
Anyways, anything over 250$ for a Terzo seems steep to me...
