    Ladder, chains, any number of useful tools, buckets hose/wire bundles, straps. Basically if it fits and secures safely, it ships. Hell i knew a guy who pulled his front wheel and put a mini bike up there once.

    If its nuts but works...is it nuts? But nah he had an electric impact and would zip a bar he made up through the holes for the nuts and impact it down then welded a couple eyelets lower and threw a chain through the frame and secured it right against the rack. Funniest #### thing seeing him pull it down on a 34 pop his front wheel on and go zoom off someplace but ###### if it didnt work.

    He worked for schlumberger and did a lot of flatbedding heavy equipment in up in ND. Dude was a tool. But in an endering way.

    you can barely make out a green strap which is what I used to actually hold the ladder onto the rack.
