I love my new rack that is the exact width and almost exact length for a H3 Hummer. I was able to fabricate mounting points so there was no need to use the tacky crossbars.

First things first; this thing should put up with any kind of torture you put it through. We mounted it to a modified Wrangler Unlimited (4-door), loaded it up to capacity, and took it on a nearly 1k mile off road trip. A lot of the trails were just some fairly mild dirt roads, but it also included some minor rock crawling, and tons of different terrain which put the Jeep and the rack through some serious angles. Never had an issue with the rack the entire trip.

A few little gripes or concerns though; some of the bars were slightly bent when it was delivered, and it required a little "persuasion" to get everything together. Luckily the metal was at least pliable enough to get things lined up enough to assemble everything. Also, the mounting clips for the front air deflector are plastic and the design for how the bolts go through them wasn't great. We had a couple of nuts that didn't want to hold in place, but we were finally able to get them tightened.

Biggest concern; unless you have a third rail on your roof, the integrity of middle of the rack was a little questionable. While nothing broke or bent permanently, you could see the middle sagging slightly under the weight. To be fair, everything held together during the entire trip, so it wasn't an issue, but you definitely want to make sure you're not going over the weight limit, and spreading the weight around evenly.

All in all, we're really happy with how well this rack worked, and the abuse it handled during our trip. I'm sure there are better ones out there, but for the money, it's definitely worth looking into.

The product looks nice, but didn't like the fact it came will silver screws, instead of black to match the rack. I went to a hardware store and purchased black screws and rubber washers to prevent water from leaking into the rails. The instructions also did not include instructions on mounting onto the roof. Thankfully I found videos online.

After reading reviews mentioning shipping damage, I gave mine a good inspection. Everything looked good...no bent tubes, no damage, components were packed really well. Mating parts slipped together quite easily, and nothing was misaligned. After a dry fit test, I disassembled and gave each slip-in part a dose of black silicone caulking before fitting together to minimize vibration and water intrusion from rain...this I'd strongly recommend. Just apply a generous amount of silicone (I put a large blob onto a piece of scrap wood and used a tongue depressor stick to "butter" the pieces) and wipe off the excess after fitting together. All screws and U-bolts are metric M6x1mm thread pitch. I replaced the included screws with 18-8 stainless steel screws with a black oxide coating so they'd blend in with the black rack (got them at McMaster-Carr); the tulip-looking nuts for the U-bolts will stick up above the floor of the rack, so I replaced them M6 nyloc locknuts. If the U-bolts protrude about the floor of the rack (mine did) you can cut off the excess with an angle grinder or a Dremel (see the last image). The rack came with a nice textured finish and required only minor touch-up, so I sprayed it with a coat of Herculiner. The only nit was the front fairing...I didn't like the fit (wouldn't sit flat) so I simply left it off. All in all, I was pretty surprised at the quality of the rack. It may not be a Yakima or a Thule, but it didn't cost as much as those either. I'm using the 50" x 64" model, which doesn't seem as large on the roof of my '95 4WD Suburban. No complaints whatsoever.

EDIT: As I mentioned, I replaced the flower-looking nuts with stainless steel M6 nyloc locknuts. I was able to find some protective covers on Amazon to cover the exposed threads of the U-bolts to minimize any corrosion. These can be seen in the last pic. Just need a sharp utility blade to cut the covers down to the proper length to cover the threads. Just search 'round rubber end caps' on Amazon and you'll find them.

I just wanted to come back and update this review now that I've had it for 2 years. I didn't do anything special to it as others have said they did to theirs. The paint and overall finish of the metal has held up very well. I had no issues with it when I was in the midwest even during some harsh winters. The only time I had an issue with it was after I moved to Florida. It has started to rust after being here for a year but the rack itself isn't that bad. It's majority surface rust that cam be removed with a Scotch Brite pad and I'm planning on repainting it here soon. The worst areas for rust is in the mounting hardware itself. The bolts and nuts and wing nuts that hold it to your crossbars will absolutely need sunlight and penetrating lubricant to break them free without stripping the plastic wingnuts. I had to remove my crossbars to get my rack off today and it was a real pain. Especially more so now that I have to measure the overhang of my cross bars when I go to put my crossbars back on again to make sure they're even on all sides. But other than for that I have had absolutely 0 problems with my rack in the 2 years I've had it and it has become a permanent installation to my suv since i've had it. People know me when they see me just because of it. It's long enough and wide enough to accommodate a cargo box and have plenty of room on the other side of the rack for other various camping gear. This rack is the next best option I have compared to others on the market.

The only downside is that it is not a direct mount to the roof and there's no options for it to be without rails and crossbars. That's also a downside to my suv in general also since there doesn't seem to be any aftermarket support for direct to roof mounting. So for those reasons, I selected this rack 2 years ago and have been happy with it since then.
