I HAVE A PAIR OF THEM ON TOP OF MY EXPLORER - GOING INTO THE 3RD SEASON WITH THEM (I HAVE 2 OF THE FIRST 12 THAT WERE BUILT I'M NOT SURE IF THEY STARTED SKIMPING ON QUALITY).....
I HAVE THEM MOUNTED TO A THULE CROSS BAR BECAUSE THE EXPLORER FACTORY RACKS ARE NOT WIDE ENOUGH TO HOLD THEM BOTH- BUT THEY DO FIT THE FACTORY RACKS. THEY WILL NOT HOLD MORE THAN 2 LARGE SPINNING REELS OR 3 CONV. REELS- THEY WILL HOLD 4 FLY RODS WHICH IS WHAT I THINK THEY WERE ORIGINALLY DESIGNED FOR. I TRAVEL BETWEEN WESTERN CT. AND RHODE ISLAND WEEKLY / YEAR ROUND AND HAVE RODS IN THEM 100% OF THE TIME. I FIGURE THE RUBBER STRAPS AT SOME POINT WILL BREAK BUT I SEE NO SIGNS OF WEAR YET.
MY ONLY COMPLAINT...... THEY ARE JUST GOOD ENOUGH TO KEEP AN HONEST MAN HONEST........
