A+ September 23, 2008 Sergio Velazquez (Richmond, VA) Very satisfied with this product. The right thing I need it to extend the length of my existing cargo rack. Good product and fast delivery service.
Strong, Well Constructed Rack Extension, But ... September 4, 2008 R. Davis (Southern Shenandoah Valley, VA) ... it didn't marry easily with it's two ends. Something got lost in the template for it's counterparts resulting in misaligned connecting tubes by 3/8's of an inch. An avoidable, manufacturing quality control issue. br / br /Now, fighting the sturdy and rigid construction of this rack is no easy task. And maybe I was unlucky in this particular item. But I ended up having to use metal files to expand the feeding taper on the "male" end, create a taper on the inside of the "female" end, then soap both surfaces, use a wooden carpenters clamp w/shim for the male side to compensate for uneven pressure, squeeze just till the pipe started to crush then whack the end of the rack with a heavy, soft rubber mallet, then touchup with rustproof flat black and presto! ... an hour later. Also, the air deflector is sub-par-flimsy. Don't over tighten or it may crack, or use it as a template to custom make one from aluminum plate. br / br /Considering the relative higher cost of comparably designed racks, and the undeniable ruggedness of this one, I would have spent at least another $150 or more for a "name" rack. I guess that was worth the hour spent making it work. It looks good and functions well on a 4-Runner. br / br /5 stars for the rack itself, (less one for the unexpected workout).
