These caught my eye at the SEMA show and look to be really functional.

Think they might be as good or even better than the ramps Will brought to Crowsnest!

Unfortunately they weren't there but did get to see a set on that Expedition One Tundra.

They do look pretty awesome and would work to get over a pretty massive drop off or obstacle

Are they designed to be used for that? It looks as though it is just a traction aid.

It supposed to be able to handle the weight ofthe truck as a ladder. This next overland journal is going to do a ladder shoot out.

Sierra is a great company to work with.
