 Rack and 22 inch extension- rugged, looks good, but... September 4, 2008
... 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.
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.
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 final 66" X 39" dimension. I guess it was worth the hour spent making it work.
5 stars for the rack itself, (less one for the unexpected workout)
 Sport Basket on a Jeep Compass August 16, 2008
The Compass has non-adjustable Sport Bars that necessitated making a 4 1/2" extension between the 2 halves to fit properly. If you have adjustable Sport Bars that this Basket is intended to be used on you'll have no problems. I do like the way that the brackets are curved which makes for a better fit when compared to some other baskets. Good product and did the job well!
