Hi skickshifter, Buzz Overland makes a very nice door step which is worth consideration. DaBullThis door-mounted side-step looks like a great way to access the roof, just wondering about the load rating for:
1 - the side rails
2 - the door itself

I saw this on aliexpress as well. In my opinion it is a good way to ruin the door fast and secure.This door-mounted side-step looks like a great way to access the roof, just wondering about the load rating for:

The official rating for the exterior rails are supposed to be ~40kg per panel
If they are like the Buzz step, the go to the hinge, not the side rail... I don't know if there is a published capacity for thatThanks! So how do these door steps work? They show the guy standing on one step (on one panel if I understand you correctly). A typical adult weighs about double the rating for the panel.

With the Grenadier's impressive height, accessing your roof rack or roof cargo can often be a challenging task. However, with our newly designed door hinge step, you...buzzoverland.co.uk
EDIT: Yes, you are correct - both options mount to the hinges.If they are like the Buzz step, the go to the hinge, not the side rail... I don't know if there is a published capacity for that
I think the Ali ones do in fact mount to the hinges, but I can confidently state that the boys from Buzz would be the way to go regardless.No - these AliExpress ones mount to the side rail - so they are not the same as the Buzz ones that mount to the door hinge. The Buzz ones look nicer (stainless steel), and seem like they'd be stronger (bolted into the hinges as opposed to using side rails).
You are correct! My bad. Yeah, the Buzz products seem top-notch. Still wondering a bit about the load rating...I think the Ali ones do in fact mount to the hinges, but I can confidently state that the boys from Buzz would be the way to go regardless.
