We purchased a camper this summer, so I also got a couple kayaks. That became a problem because the teuck bed was loaded with wood, bikes, and other supplies. This rack was a cheap, but reliable way to transport the kayaks while going camping!
China continues to make moderately priced products that meet quality control standards of US markets. It is somehow sad to believe that these types of products cannot be made state side and compete on both price and quality. With that said after some crafty engineering to allow for smaller and therefore less expensive shipping from this far away country we see a decent product once again from our good friends in China. No complaints. Load it up and enjoy the fruits of underpaid and exploited workers from far away lands...
Fitted these on a 2018 Toyota Tacoma using clamps sourced from Amazon to fit into the OE tracks. Worked great. Like the height adjustment so I can use in combo with factory roof rack. Used recently to carry 16’ deck boards along with 2 4’ x 16’ hog wire panels. Rack was secure and the included load brackets held both the lumper and wire in place. Not the sexiest rack out there but at a third the cost of big name brands it works for me.
It was easy to install, and work as it should. It takes minimal tools to install and only take about 15 minutes to install or remove after your initial installation.
