I specifically am waiting on a box pic.

Has the THule stuff come in yet?
I have LOTS of pictures of the rack and a few of the Thule accessories mounted. The bike racks, ski/snowboard racks, and cargo box.

We also took a picture to give you guys an idea of the strength of this rack.

Lets get some feedback!

Thanks for the additional pictures. I really like your product. If we were to place an order now, what would be the expected ship date?

If you are interested in placing an order, you will be added to the list of current orders and it will guarantee you're rack will be among the first to ship. We expect to begin shipping these next month.

We do not charge anyone until the rack is leaving our facility. Give me a call if you would like to place an order or need any questions answered...

The lead designer for the 2 door rack is working hard on the design changes required to make the rack possible while still being able to remove the freedom panels. Once we have completed the CAD drawings we will begin working on the prototype. I will be posting pictures and updates as they become available! The overall design and look will be very similar to our 4 door design.

Similar concept, but full length! Only a couple of small sections to extend to the front and down with a crossbar in the front also unlike this example. This, I think, could easily be added to your existing rack. Please pass this link on to your R&D guys. Thanks!
We have been working on various different accessories and the extension is a very good idea. I can say this is something our designers are interested in working on and I have forwarded your information to them.

This rack looks awesome! I think an extension would be great so I could get 2 more bikes up there. How bad would shipping be to 91355 in southern California?
I would be concerned about water getting into the unused holes in the top of the tubing where the center cross bar is attached. It looks like there are 6 positions available which leaves 5 empty holes on top on each side. Is there a drain hole or something? It seems like with the weather you have up there, you would have run across this already.
