Yes I got the LeTech rack from Viking Off-road Still haven’t installed the ladder; I had to buy some special commercial adhesive from Wurth and recently it has been too hot. But I like the rack a lot.

It would nice if there was just a ladder available without a roof rack, or a very slim rack.

You can get one from JackwagonOverlanding brand name is ORC. Ladder attaches to your existing rain gutter instead of a rack.

I was told it only fits models up to 2018 so there is not one for mine after all - damn.

No worries, but maybe they will come out with one in the future so I will check back with them occasionally. I also looked and could not find one elsewhere.
