Key Features
Precision Fit for the Grenadier
Mounts directly to the rear door hinge bolt pattern — no drilling or modification to the vehicle. Direct bolt-on fitment using the existing hardware interface.
Heavy-Duty Construction
Cold-rolled steel with corrosion-resistant matte black powder coat. Aggressive grip teeth machined into the step surface for traction in wet, muddy, and off-road conditions.
Spring-Locked in Both Positions
Low-profile when folded. Spring-loaded locking mechanism holds the step positively in both stowed and deployed positions — no rattle, no accidental deployment.
Expedition-Grade Design
Built for repeated use — loading roof cargo, deploying a rooftop tent, washing the windshield after a day off-road. Functional and consistent regardless of conditions.
Two Positions, Both Locked
Position 1
Stowed
Folds flat against the door. Low-profile — does not affect door clearance, body line, or visual appearance. Spring-locked in place, no rattle or movement at speed.
Position 2
Deployed
Extends to the working position. Spring-locks automatically in the deployed position — step is stable under load, no flex or rotation when bearing weight.
Built For
Roof Cargo Loading
Safe, repeatable access to roof rails and crossbars when loading or securing cargo. No improvised footing on the wheel arch or door sill.
Rooftop Tent Access
Designed for RTT entry and exit. Stable under body weight, aggressive grip teeth maintain footing on muddy or wet boots.
Windshield Cleaning
The functional daily use case — reach the windshield after off-road dust, mud, or insect accumulation without climbing on the vehicle body.
Campsite Setup
Repeated roof access during basecamp setup — awnings, lighting, antenna mounts, and gear retrieval without a separate step ladder.
Overlanding
Durable enough for expedition use. Powder-coated steel survives extended trips, water crossings, and dust exposure without degradation.
Recovery Operations
Elevated viewing position when scouting lines or directing recovery. Stable platform that doesn't compromise door function.
