Well I finished a little while ago. Took forever since I had problems getting the front bars installed. The bars are definitely too long somewhere. I ended up loosening everything again. I didn't get that from the instructions but my wife says I should have from the beginning. Anyway I got the cage on but there's still something up. The back mounts are now leaning back to compensate for the stress put on them. I didn't notice when I was tightening everything again. I'm going to see if I can straighten them out tomorrow. I still have to stress that it is extremely rigid and very solid. Sorry for the night pics but I just finished. 
Here you can see the leaning mounts

Please let us know if you hear anything else from Kargomaster. I'm going to call them tomorrow, but I'm kind of thinking it's on there just try to fix it.

Do you mean the top bars that travel the length of the jeep? Cutting em shorter or drilling another hole would make the fit easier but it would still be a pain to raise/lower the rack.
I think they need to shorten the bars and also angle the front bars back more (or angle the top section back some). If you do that you could use a quick release on the front bar to top bend section and make things alot easer and quicker.

Update from Kargo Master
Fredo,
I got this response from Kargo Master after I sent them the dimension of the long bars running from back to front...
I'll post updates when I get more info. Also I haven't hit them up for the "prop rod" yet. ....baby steps
RE: Hole drilling
I was referring to what Jeepnyak was talking about. On mine, the connecting bolt holes passenger side leg does not line up with the header.

Thanks for the reply Polocruz. I'm going to email them some daylight pictures when I take them. I really like this rack besides the fit. It does whistle and I have experienced the vortex because it's really windy today, but it's still a better ride than my YJ. 
Thanks for starting this thread flemgunner, it's been very informative. Where are you in Louisiana? Are you going to the Offroader expo in Hammond? It was fun last year.

Just got an e-mail from Kargo Master that they've shipped out a replacement set of bars (the ones that go front to back).
They are not due until next week. I'll let ya'll know it it works out.
Paolo
jeepnyak,
What setup/saddles are you using for your yaks?

I can't post a direct link, but I hope this is okay. Just copy and paste into your browser louisianaoffroaders.com/expo
Wow, 90 acres would be nice to play around in. I've got nothing over here besides these trails in Hammond. The spillway is really only for quads and dirt bikes.
