My parents neighbor has that rack. It looks good to me. I'll have to take a picture next time I'm over there. The only thing I noticed about it was that they use smaller tubing than most racks I have seen. It is not as bulky.

Quadratec, and it got here pretty quickly.

Like I said it's solid.

Down side is if you have a hard top and take it off and out it on often, as the rack bolts into the holes where you bolt the hard top down. You can mount it with the hard top on, the kit comes with longer bolts to go through the rack mount and the hard top lip.

I am dealing with this issue myself. I have installed with my soft top on. We are planning a trip and my wife wants to put the hard top on. So, I'll have to remove the rack and replace once I get the hard top on. I hadn't planned on this.


Otherwise, I like it a lot! It's very sturdy.

I have a different brand of rear interior rack. Mine is awesome. It is rated for 300 lbs. I can take my top on and off with it installed. I can take my safari top and duster on and off with the rack installed. I never take it out!

I have a jerry can mount I added and put a can in there. I use a super syphon to transfer it to my tank and don't have to move my Jerry can. These types of racks are a great product, regardless of brand. I say get one!
