Surely they do. If not, about every other manufacturer will. I don't have the EAG but rather the Barricade (or smittybilt....I don't recall which) and they're all the exact same aside from the box they're shipped in. Each one will have a different manufacturer sticker on it.

Hi - thanks for your review. First time poster here. I’ve read a few reviews about this rack that have kept me from ordering and listed the concerns I’ve read below. Can you confirm/deny each of these?
1. rack rusts easily and/or comes with surface rust. what was your experience?
2. the rain gutter supports for the rack sit in between the rain rail and the rubber weather seal on the door and this causes leaks and/or damage to weather seal. I’ve seen thule rain racks that don’t interfere with the weather seal...
3. the rear window can crack the plastic hinge covers if opened too quickly... true?
4. the hardware rusted easily and rust water drips on side of Jeep causing staining... do you recommend going to hardware store and getting stainless hardware? what has been your experience?
again, this is just a summary of reviews I’ve read on Amazon and not my own persons experience... any comment you can provide will be very useful. Thanks!!!

1. Very little surface rust on some of the ajoining surfaces when I first got it. Hit those with some black Rustoleum and no issues since.
2. Nope. It's fine.
3. Nope. Haven't had a problem.
4. Nope. I think the hardware is stainless.
Hope this helps!
