Moki Ascent Door Steps
New in 2023, Rightline Gear has relaunched the original Moki Door step with the next generation “ascent” model, with a few notable improvements over the original “where have you been all my life” great products… Give yourself some additional height when accessing your roof rack, making washing the roof, securing gear, zipping up the RTT, and pulling down the skis & bikes easier than ever. Key features include:
400 pound capacity
Foldable hook, providing easier storage and 2 locking positions for greater fit versatility.
Universal fit for all vehicles in both front and rear doors.
Reinforced rubber bumper and coated hook prevent vehicle damage.
Simply hook the step into one of the vehicle’s u-shaped door latches. The Step’s rubber bumper and coated hook protect your vehicle’s door frame. Store the Step in your drawer system, glove box, behind the seat or spare tire compartment when not in use. Just remember to remove the step before slamming the door… these ship for free when bundled with your roof rack.
Two latch positions
The launch of the new “ascent” model of the door step brings with it a new innovation, which is 2 different latch positions for the hook. This solves a prior issue, in that in some models (100 series Land Cruisers, for example) the step would rest on the curved part of the fender, and the part of the door step you are to stand on was at an angle, rather than horizontal. So now that the latch can be extended beyond 90 degrees, which solves this and allows the step to be used in a more flat position. See the images below:
Install Tip
And here’s a suggestion for where to put it in the vehicle- simply unbolt one of those plastic steps at the 2nd row door opening, and run a nylon strap underneath it- something that will cinch to itself with some type of buckle or hook&loop system. Then simply place the step on top of it, tighten the strap, and you’re done. Now the step is secure, won’t move around on you, can still be stepped on if needed to reach the 3rd row area, but is easily within reach when needed.
