TracRac 25110 Crossbar Tiedowns Review

TracRac 25110 Crossbar Tiedowns
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
The Trac Rac system is a nice system and the tiedowns do their job quite well. I advise some method of locking them in place or remove them when you know you won't need them for a few days. They are a fairly easy and high theft item. They did not come directly from Amazon and the dealer in Florida sent the wrong items and caused a 3 week delay. Use caution when buying stuff that does not come directly from Amazon.

Thule Truck Rack Adapter Kit Review

Thule Truck Rack Adapter Kit
Average Reviews:

This was the product I needed, and it works perfectly. My only complaint is why in the world should I have to buy an extra part that I could only find online. I will admit my choice of rack system was based only on looks. I got the higher end aero bars which are oval instead of square or round. When it was time to get a bike rack, I obviously picked the one that fit the look I had going, which also happened to be the higher end model, echelon. Come to find out, the expensive rack can't actually fit on the expensive bars without this kit. Come on Thule!

TracRac T-Rac Pro G2 Aluminum Truck Ladder / Cargo Rack - 2005 - 2010 Tacoma Review

Average Reviews:

This Rack system is built with quality, very strong Die cast connections, and smooth finish. fairly easy to assemble ( must read directions) for first timers such as I . I found it frustrating when i could not find the Hex head bolts in the package, so i could not complete the assembly, and now it is sitting in the Garage, called the company and seems like they leave early on Fridays. I am just waiting to hear from them. Also it would be nice if they supplied a sturdy Allen wrench with the order, to assist with the assembly.

DeWalt DCATR376 Contractor Pick-up Truck Rack Review

DeWalt DCATR376 Contractor Pick-up Truck Rack
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Great material - doesn't corrode (living in HI) - very strong (already put a few hundred pounds on the rack). My only complaint is the mounting on bed. It's very cumbersome to put on and take off if needed. Had to take it off when I got a new refrigerator - since you need to transport refrigerators right side up!
I will probably try to shop around for a better way to mount this (best would be a mount that allows you to slide the rack back and forth).

Go Rhino QR101 Quick Rack Review

Go Rhino QR101 Quick Rack
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Purchased a Go Rhino Quick Rack for my new 2010 Ford F150. Unfortunately, it does not fit on the side rails as advertised. The Quick Rack supports require more space under the truck side rails than is available. When installed, the supports are just touching and cannot be adequately secured. I was hoping to use the Quick Rack for transporting things like a canoe on long trips. The rack is suitable for very shorts trips and really does not work (afraid that it might come loose while in use. I was really looking forward to this temporary "on and off" solution but it just does not work, used it twice now but never again. I am looking for something to replace it that is a little more trustworthy. Too bad as it looks like a great idea but like many things, it is ultimately in the execution and this just does not make it. I would NOT recommend that anyone purchase a Quick Rack for a late model Ford F150, keep looking elsewhere!

Thule Goalpost Adjustable Watersport Carrier Review

Thule Goalpost Adjustable Watersport Carrier
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
It is serving it's purpose and a decent product overall. Great for a pickup truck.
Why I rated it a 3 out of 5 is that it comes with a bolt that needs to be tightened in the vehicle hitch.
One can't just use the usual clip that we all use for connecting trailers, etc to our trailer hitch.
That means that if you wish to use this hitch mount T on a van or suv it's a pain and time consuming to get into the back of your van or suv.

Thule 422 Xsporter Truck Cargo Roof Rack (Full Size) Review

Thule 422 Xsporter Truck Cargo Roof Rack (Full Size)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Aloha from Maui,
I purchased the Xsporter Rack for my 2005 Tacoma Double Cab.
After mounting the rack and driving along the highway I noticed a very loud whistling noise. It turns out that the trough on the underside of the load bars creates a near perfect "Flute" effect that becomes very loud as you approach 40mph. By simply using good old "Duct Tape" and sealing off the trough I have completely nullified the noise and am riding in perfect silence. A great product both aesthetically and functionally.

Truck Bed Rack Ladder Rack Pickup Truck Lumber Racks Review

Truck Bed Rack Ladder Rack Pickup Truck Lumber Racks
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I RECEIVED THIS ITEM AS PROMISED.
THERE WERE NO INSTRUCTIONS
IT WAS SIMPLE TO A POINT
AFTER THE FOUR UPRIGHT CORNERS WERE BOLTED DOWN, THE UPRIGHTS WERE NOT VERTICAL. THEY LEANED TO THE OUTSIDE OF THE TRUCK BY ONE OR TWO INCHES.
THIS MEANT THE TUBE BRACKETS FOR THE CROSS PIECES WOULD NOT SLIDE DOWN WITH THE CROSS PIECES IN THEM.
I USED A WIRE HOIST TO PULL THE SIDES INTO ALIGNMENT. THIS SLIGHTLY TWEAKED THE BED RAILS, (NOT A PROBLEM).
THIS DONE, THE TUBE BRACKETS FOR THE CROSS PIECES FELL RIGHT INTO PLACE.
BOLT HOLES DID NOT LINE UP EXACTLY AND I HAD TO DRILL THEM OUT. I THEN BOLTED ALL TOGETHER. ASSEMBLY TOOK APPROXIMATELY 2 HOURS.
THIS RACK IS STURDY, FEELS STRONG, AND HOLDS THE LADDERS WELL.
IT IS NOT DESIGNED FOR HEAVY CONSTRUCTION MATERIALS.

Universal Fit 2 Bars Utility Ladder TRUCK PICK UP RACK Review

Universal Fit 2 Bars Utility Ladder TRUCK PICK UP RACK
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I ordered this ladder rack because I was looking for a ladder rack that I could attach with mounting bracks since I only need to carry my ladder occassionally and want to be able to easily install and remove it without drilling permanent holes in my truck. If you look at the pictures for this product they show a ladder rack with mounting clamps. However, what I received was a ladder rack without mounting clamps that has to be bolted onto my truck. When I called Damlow customer service, the guy tried to convince me that all ladder racks must be bolted into the truck. After this he said he would sent me a couple clamps that I could use to clamp the ladder rack onto my truck. This of course is a ridicules idea. Now I have to lug it to the UPS office and pay to ship it back. I wrote this review because I hope to prevent anyone else from being fooled.

Great ladder racks,
Strong and easily insalled.
Ideal temporary hardware for
those hard to carry "lengthly"
items in a pick up truck.
I use these for ladders, carpeting,
long molding boards and pvc piping.
Even boxed window treatments can be secured to these racks.
Good product.

Smittybilt 18604 Black Contractors Rack Review

Smittybilt 18604 Black Contractors Rack
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This "universal" rack does NOT fit a 2007-newer Toyota Tundra unless you want to drill through your bed and permanently mount it. The "J" bolt mounting is unsecure, and down right dangerous! In any case, you cannot use this rack with the deck-rail system, so if you like your deck-rail system, just another reason to stay away from this rack. You also must remove or modify the plastic bed caps for the permanent mounting. Be aware that once you drill, you will not be able to replace the plastic bedcaps at all as the top of the bed where you will drill the holes line up pefectly with the mounting holes for the bed caps, so once you enlarge the holes, the bed cap will not secure anymore. I decided none of these options were good for me and got rid of this rack (but not before it fell off the bed because of the unsecure "J" bolt mounting and damaged my brand new truck.)
I have contacted Smittybilt about these problems, but they seemed unconcerned, they said it worked on every truck they tried, but admitted a Tundra was not one of them.

Kargomaster 80020 Ladder Rack Review

Kargomaster 80020 Ladder Rack
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This is a great product. I just recently purchased it and installed it. It has been used a lot in just a short time. Instead of hauling a trailer around just throw the ladders, lumber, pipe, etc. on top. The only problems I have were convincing myself to drill holes into my 07 nissan frontier when mounting the rack, and that at around 55-60mph, between the front of the rack and the cab, there is a slight hum or whistle (I don't know if that happens to be a specific problem to certain vehicles or what). Other than that, it is very practical and can be used for hauling many different products.

Yakima DryDock Boat Hitch Mount Truck Adapter for Thule Canoe and Kayak Carriers Review

Yakima DryDock Boat Hitch Mount Truck Adapter for Thule Canoe and Kayak Carriers
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I use Yakima DryDock Boat Hitch Mount rack to haul huge Current Designs Libra XT double kayak on top of my Toyota 4Runner. I am very pleased with the rack, it keeps the kayak very secure. You don't have to worry about longitudinal kayak wobbling when you drive over the rough terrain or speed bumps! I've noticed some latitudinal movement of the rack, though I have not observed any negative effects of it. As far as I can tell, this is pretty much the only option to haul something long and heavy on top of 4Runner as the roof base for putting a two-crossbar roof rack is very small unless your truck has factory-installed rails. To give you a complete picture of my setup, I also use Yakima BoatLoader accessory on my front roof-mounted crossbar. This allows me to load and unload the heavy beast by myself, which makes my life so much easier. Granted, you can't open the rear cargo door with this rack in the trailer hitch, but I can live with that.

Want to carry your canoe or kayak on your truck without resting it unsteadily in the pickup bed? Turn to the Yakima DryDock hitch-mount truck adapter, which creates a top-of-the-truck system capable of carrying kayaks, canoes, and other long loads. The Y-frame DryDock fits onto any 2-inch receiver hitch with an anti-wobble threaded hitch pin, creating a solid foundation for the load. Once installed, simply match the height of the DryDock with your rooftop rack and you're set. The unit comes with stabilizing straps that attach underneath your rear bumper, although you'll need to purchase bow/stern tie-down straps (sold separately) to keep the boats secure. As with all Yakima racks, the DryDock carries a lifetime warranty.

Pro-Series HTVANRK 500 lb Multi-Use Van Rack Review

Pro-Series HTVANRK 500 lb Multi-Use Van Rack
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I got a great price on this item when I took advantage of a free shipping day. Lowest price I could find elsewhere was Home Depot and it would have cost me $40 more.
Rack is very nice and attaches easily and is easily adjustable. I stripped one of the poles out when tightening the end nut but it still holds fine, so be careful not to over tighten. I would recommend using a tool that determines how much torque you are applying to the bolt so you don't strip it out. I may have a friend weld it or maybe use some JB weld just in case. I use some MasterLock Steelcor adjustable bungies to hold items in place, and use a "U" bike lock to lock my ladders down.
Bottom Line: Lowest cost High quality ladder rack on the market.
