Gobi Ladders

Just installed my k9 rack. Was wondering if anyone runs the gobi ladder (or any other ladders) with this? Doesn't seem to be much clearance with the rear open.

Did you end up getting the ladder Cozen89? I have a k9 and really need a ladder!
 
Anti-Theft?

That is EXACTLY what I was looking for. Awesome!

...Can anyone tell me how secure these ladders are once on the tailgate?...

By that, I mean can someone just come along and loosen the fasteners and remove it while you are not there?...

The Screws on the bottom of the ladder can only be accessed when the tailgate it open. There are actually six screws that need to be accessed to remove the entire assembly, and all need the tailgate to be open.

I've seen criminals do some stupid things, so if there is a will there is a way. But they are not going to do it without causing $$$$$ of damage; honestly at that point the cost of the ladder is the least of your issues.:ak472:
 
Since this thread's been dredged up, it seems like a good place to ask this: has anyone put clearbra or something else on the paint behind the ladder? It seems like there's a good chance your shoes would end up scuffing up the paint - particularly on the lower rungs where they are closer to the truck.

This thread got necroed another round, and I know your post is old, but I put 3M clear protectant behind mine. I’m most likely to be using it at camp with dirty shoes and too exhausted to tip toe on the rung.

Not sure if anyone answered, but the ladder is secure. Someone could get the top bolts off, but the bottom needs to have the tailgate open to remove.

Anyone running the Gobi ladder with the Rhino-Rack Pioneer w/ backbone? I have yet to see someone with that set up and was wondering if it's possible. Thanks in advance :)

Gobi Ladder Scuff

Since this thread's been dredged up, it seems like a good place to ask this: has anyone put clearbra or something else on the paint behind the ladder? It seems like there's a good chance your shoes would end up scuffing up the paint - particularly on the lower rungs where they are closer to the truck.

Has anybody answered you about this? I climbed up a ladder a few weeks ago and the bottom step is very close to the paint.

Has anyone had issues with this or put something there to protect it?
 
People put clear bra or clear 3M tape behind that to help out.

I just skip that step since it's only a few inches above the bumper anyway and just go from the bumper up to the next step and there is a lot more room there.
 
I got a message back today when I inquired they said 8-10 weeks lead time, but last time I ordered two years ago it was 4 weeks.

Anyone know if there is a lead time on the ladders too? Or is only the rack? Or know of a place where there is no lead time. TIA.
 
Funny Gobi Customer Service Story...

Ordered mine in early March....so about 6 weeks into it, to be nice, I used the email request of status...twice.....no response. At Jambo, my buddy was saying "you should just call them, one time they just lost my order altogether"...you never know what's going on there"... So 8 weeks into the 4-6 week Ladder lead time, I called about 5 times and finally got someone on the phone...she pulled up my order and repeated it and my address to me...all was correct/good. She said "yeah, I think we can ship one of those out to you"...it looks like maybe we got your order confused with a "James"... I asked if James got his, and she said no he hadn't yet. (now I've gone cross-eyed, but didn't say anything for fear of losing my ladder) She said let me get this sorted and I'll call you right back.... of course, no call back...but the Fed Ex tracker showed up that afternoon. Whew...Ladder coming Thursday

Summary: I have no idea what was happening, other than nothing was really happening...so call 'em.
 
I orders mine February 14th. I called multiple times without an answer but didn’t have the time and kept forgetting to just hammer call them. Ladder finally showed up today. I’ve heard they make a decent product but there customer service and production operation is abysmal.
