5th Gen 4Runner Rear Hatch Ladder Install Guide by Westcott Designs

[@RLTW_03]

I left it up to the professionals (Westcott) to install my ladder, low profile roof rack with 40 inch light bar, ditch lights, rock sliders, and leveling kit. Love your products brother!! 🔥🔥🔥

[@MarkTalampas]

Oh how I wished I had these templates haha. Still this ladder is super sturdy and strong compared to others. Highly recommend !!!

[@westcottdesigns]

Working to improve the process every day! Sorry you were “pre-template era” but glad it’s still holding strong!

[@onintrie224]

can't wait for mine to arrive with the roof rack...🤘🏼

[@westcottdesigns]

Thank you for believing in our products!🙏

[@SHult-f4l]

How long does install take?

[@lcatalla7292]

I'll be ordering this ladder soon followed by that hitch mount carrier. Any accessories for the hitch mount in the works?

[@westcottdesigns]

Thank you!🙏. We appreciate you believing in our products.

Love your products, but who makes a tire carrier?

[@solarisvercelli5440]

Hi there! I’m buying one second hand and was wondering what brand/type tape you used to restick it

[@westcottdesigns]

We use 3M double sided tape or gorilla tape.👍

can you design a side ladder for lexus GX460, i really like to keep my window functionality

[@joef5097]

Love the ladder, i feel the best on the market. Is there hatch struts you recommend as well.

[@westcottdesigns]

Thank you! We love hearing the positive feed back. We offer one that is made by the strut depot. Thank you for choosing our products.

[@joef5097]

@westcottdesigns thanks so much for the quick response. I couldn't find the h Rear hatch struts on your website. I would live to order it from you guys because of the great customer service.

[@westcottdesigns]

@@joef5097 i just looked myself and could not find them as well.🤦‍♂️. I will get with my web guy and find out why they are not up on the site. In the mean time I will get you the part numbers. PM-3489 Available from liftsupportsdepot.com

[@SHult-f4l]

Sorry, and how do you know the top bracket and the bottom bracket will line up so the ladder is plumb if you install the top bracket first by eyeballing it and use a template for the bottom?

[@westcottdesigns]

@@SHult-f4l The backside of the bracket up on the roof lines up exactly in between the hinge on the top that makes the bar bracket with the template lineup every time

[@LeoBioSoul]

Can you add side steps?

[@PeterPalladino]

The hardest part for me is the set screws that requires the (small) Allen wrench. This guy kind of of breezed past that part. Maybe show us how you got them to start threading in. I can't even get it started (by myself). Is there a trick I don't know about?

[@07elchingon]

Is the ladder compatible with the trd pro roof rack?

[@westcottdesigns]

@@07elchingon it is. When installed correctly it has 3/16” space when hatch is open.

[@BrianMcHaney-yw2et]

Will this work on a 4runner Gent 5 SR5 Set up?

[@westcottdesigns]

@@BrianMcHaney-yw2et it sure will. It’s designed to work on all 2010-2024 models

[@ralph3384]

Only problem is the struts are sold out for months. I ordered them from the company suggested over a month ago. The ladder is awesome though.

[@westcottdesigns]

Thank you for believing in our stuff!🙏

[@kuntsniffer9437]

Has anyone else had an issue installing the set screws? I was only able to get one of the in (the one not centered on that hinge) I’m sure the tape alone is fine but I hate it I couldn’t get it in. Also, the nuts and washers for the 3 top bolts are a bitch when you have larger hands, but I used the masking tape to tape the nut and the outside of the washer to then thread the bolt into it, it worked just fine this way. Glad I went with the Wescott ladder due to being aluminum and looking excellent. But I will be needing to upgrade my struts on my 2024, it is lacking just a tad. Great product and Fuck Joe Biden!
