context,I saw a jimny out in the wild with a front runner ladder and it gave me the idea to ask if they would consider making one for BS. I own their rack and love The quality

Feels like a "build it and they will come" kind of thing. I'd have been in for one.

First company to fabricate one will benefit from no competition since none exists yet

I’ve got the Yakima Lock n Load and was thinking if the black rhino ladder would work for me. Their pioneer platform is tslot like the locknload. Looks like it might work.
do you mean this ladder? It seems to be specifically for jeeps because of where it’s mounted

You’d need extra mounts for this. The exterior panels are paper thin. You’d need one to come off the rear of the rack and mount into the hitch receiver for any support.

Check some Subaru Outback forums. I came across this somewhere. There was a vehicle specific one and I think I saw one on the universal side as well. Sorry couldn't be more helpful.
Yeah. It has some mounts that fit into the tslots running down the side. Yakima has those too. Much from the two racks are interchangeable. The tslots on the actual floor run different direction so orientations may not be same, but this one looks like it would work.

my CFO (wife) hasn’t released any more funding so I haven’t called them yet for more info haha.

I can not believe how an institution like ours has 1 person as CFO, COO and CEO.😆

I’ve been looking at Hummer parts when it comes to accessories like the Ladder. The issue is still the fact that the BS is a lift gate rather than a swing away.

but, hummer does have an offset spare swing away that a ladder can be mounted to.

I’m just trying to find the breakdown of the BS rear bumper/fascia in order to see if I can mount the swing away to the frame. Can’t find the specs though…

It's going to be up to if you want to loose access to the rear glass opening up, I have been thinking of going with a goby ladder but also thinking about going with a side mount one, these are my 2 thoughts
