Used, repainted Lakewood Traction Bars
I bought these ladder bars 14 years ago. I would believe that they are stronger than the ones they sell today, everything is made as cheaply as possible these days. I wire wheeled them to bare metal and sanded them, then hand brushed the oil based primer with 2 thick coats of "rusty metal primer" by Rust-Oleum:

Then I sprayed them with Rust-Oleum Bright Yellow, which it took a lot of coats to cover the red rust primer! I waited between coats like it said. Half way through I let them dry overnight, then sprayed some more. I am going to cover the inside of the one on the left with the same primer today. Just got them out and noticed it had chipped. I will just cover the bare metal with 2 coats of the primer after wire wheeling and sanding.
The retail for $79.50 on Summit:
