Abstract: A ladder is safely and securely transported on a work vehicle using a pair of stanchions spaced along one side of the work vehicle. Each stanchion has a lower base portion carried on one side of the work vehicle, and an upper pole portion insertable into a hollow rung of a ladder. In this fashion, a ladder, such as an extension ladder, is supported on only one of its side rails without the need for engagement with tensioned load straps. Because the stanchions and ladder are located on the side of a work vehicle, the ladder takes up no cargo space on the cargo area of the work vehicle.

Abstract: To my surprise Jeep-type door storage is not as versatile and accommodating as you would think. For as long as there have been Jeep-type vehicles with detachable doors, you'd think every storage problem would be solved, but it has not been-until now. The nature of my invention is to provide multiple ways of door storage for detachable Jeep-type doors through one storage system. It is made as simple as possible with all components concentrated to accommodate every thinkable way of storing detachable Jeep-type doors, using one single storage frame per door, that can accommodate multiple storage needs.
