Default Was Offroad Logic at SEMA?

Curious if they were brave enough to show up... considering all there reviews lately... I'm kinda pissed their business isn't legit... As I love their rack design the best. I was ready to fork out the dough until I saw all the bad comments on this board

JK Racks was one of my favorites, until I saw this one.

Yeah... The Kargo Master one is nice... I just don't like the bars in the back that slant... Not sure why they did that? I do like the no-drill application though.

I'm debating between the Kargo and JK now that ORL is not an option.

Speaking of KargoMaster.... does anyone know when the JK racks will be available?

I like the slanted bars in the back. That is what drew me to the JKRacks in the first place, whith their hatch back rack, but I was told you couldn't use it with the hard top.
No, I haven't heard when KargoMaster is planning on releasing their JK rack, but WOL may be able to answer that, soon I hope.

I emailed KargoMaster yesterday asking about release dates... We'll see if I get an answer.

I think he was talking about the beginning of the year. What I want to know is if the KargoMaster racks are compatible with a mid length rear bumper like LoD's, where you wouldn't have the surface area that the stock bumper has

If you had a good steel bumper, I would just mount it directly to that. Then relocate your license plate.

I guess the question would be how much play there is in the mounting bars.... as you can see in these pics, I don't have a whole lot of bumper where the rack would normally mount to the stock one:

That creates a little bit of a problem. It seems as though a little extention bracket could be used to support the rack, but the KargoMaster bracket may slip into place too. That would have to take some looking in to.
