Roof Rack Questions!!!
I am a few days away from purchasing the Kargo Master roof rack with the KM basket later on. I would like other peoples opinion on that rack set up. Basically I am looking for a basket that takes up the entire length and width of the top of the vehicle for the maximum amount of storage space and I would prefer it to have compatibility with lots of accessories like wind deflectors, driving lights, high lift jacks, shovel mounts etc. So I have a few questions about this setup. I have searched several 4 year old posts on here about people having difficulties with this brand but I have not heard anything recently.
1. Have they worked out the kinks as far as it not fitting properly and not coming with the proper parts?
2. Which size basket would be best for the result I want as there are three different sizes? (im going for full size basket 2 door)
3. The pricing on Quadratec shows that buying the Kargo Master Congo cage and the Kargo Master Bushman Steel rack is roughly 80ish less than buying the Garvin Expedition rack which comes with everything in one purchase so I don't have to mess around with two units but it leads me into my next question to the people who have tried one or the other what are your experiences with these racks? I am trying to go for an Overland Expedition functionality but still maintain the ability to take on and off the hard/soft top between seasons.
Pictures are welcome to show me some differences. I have a forest green 2 door Sahara with rubi takeoff tires and rims similar to the rubicons but not "shiny"
The biggest reason I would purchase the Kargo Master over the Garvin is the fact that the Kargo Master I can break down the purchase in chunks. 400 bucks here 400 bucks there to make the 800ish price tag a little easier. yes I know shipping will probably add an extra hundred or so but thats besides the point
Thanks in advance!!!!
