I use my rack for everything but the cooler. I put all my tools and recovery gear up there, and then when I travel, I put all my luggage up there. They work great for getting things up out of the way and free up room on the inside.

I've been looking for an alternative to my Manik. I need one that has a better design. (for me)

Has to be polished stainless or chrome tho.

I use 1.25" .065 wall tubing for the railing, 3/16" custom "Tee Beams" for the cross members. I will have a full width low profile tool box that is 60" wide 10" deep and about 5" tall. There is loads of space, the deck starts about 1" away from the rear door and ends at the sun roof. Tire carrier is an optional bolt on piece. I had my 38" tire on there and had Adam (230 lbs sorry adam) jump up and down on the tire to check the flex in the rack and it only between and 1/8" - 3/16". Total weight is around 130lbs. Stainless or Chrome which ever you prefer will not be a problem just a lot more expensive. Actually stainless is going to be the more feasible option. Chroming a unit like this will not be very successful over the long run. I believe they are making Chrome Powder coating.


Considering the design, the way my rack is put together and the accessories that are going to be available with it, the price is very good. You did not skimp on your choice of vehicle why skimp on your equipment?
