If the roof is the last (or only, or preferred) place to stash your gear or bring your bike, it helps if you can reach it easily. For shorter folks or those with taller vehicles, the Rightline Gear Moki Step puts it all in easy reach without any mods to your vehicle. Here’s how it works…
Rightline Gear updated Moki Door Step
The Moki Door Step hooks onto most car door latch hooks, giving you a step to put you about two feet closer to whatever is on top of your car, truck or van. The coated hook and rubber bumper at the back of the step keep it from scratching your car. As long as your vehicle has a hook that likes like this one (below), it should work for you.
The Moki Door Step was originally designed by paramedic Zach Brown, who raised about $100,000 on Kickstarter to bring it to reality. Then he partnered with Rightline Gear, which makes a wide assortment of rooftop storage options and tents, to bring it to retail. Rightline Gear then upgraded the design by making the foot pad more aggressively shaped, to prevent slipping. And that…
…appears to be what separates it from the myriad knockoff products on Amazon. So, yes, the Rightline Gear Moki is a bit more expensive than the others, but we’d better trust our footing on it in all weather conditions. The design is small enough to fit in many glove boxes or center consoles, spare tire wells, etc. Retail is $44.95, but even it is a bit cheaper on Amazon with Prime shipping available.
