ARKSEN 84 x 50 x 6 Inch Universal Extra Wide 250LB Heavy Duty Roof Rack Cargo with Three Cargo Nets, Car Top Luggage Holder Carrier Basket for SUV, Truck, & Car Steel Construction

A really nice cargo basket. Very happy with this. I will say the customer service on this item was amazing. The first one I got had a bend in the tubbing where it connects together. I got in contact with the seller sent some pictures and within a day they had the process of the replacement product on the way. Extremely happy with the customer service. Very easy to put together probably took 30 minutes to assemble. It also seems very sturdy. Couldn't tell any noise for it after putting it on my cross bars. Definitely roomy for things to be put in it.

Despite a slight issue with the product, customer service corrected the issue right away and made it right! Very satisfied with my experience!

pretty good, the metal frames did not fit together when they arrived, i had to pry the metal in order to get the two halves to join together. I tried a monkey wrench, too short, a mop handle and bent the mop handle only, then finally a metal baseball bat did the trick. I assume that either the temperature changes during shipping or the way the box was packed into a truck that caused the issue. Others likely would not have the wherewithal to pry on the metal to join the two halves. I would have much preferred to not have to have done this.Still willing to give 4 stars for the quality of everything else, I do wish the two halves joined together better in the middle, you kind of have these two separate racks that are not totally level that create a larger rack. Or better yet, maybe ship the item fully assembled!

It’s a little smaller than expected but not bad for the price. I didn’t want to spend $2000 on a roof rack for my full-size van. This is the biggest I could find for under 500 bucks. I mounted it on a ladder rack and the rail attachments were too small so I went to Home Depot and got some U-bolt, which worked out well. So far so good

this item is well constructed but light enough to move with one person. I fit this on my dodge 2017 grand caravan and it was the perfect accessory for a family camping trip. On that trip I packed 3 queen size camping mattress futons, a full size camping mattress futon, sleeping bags, lifejackets, camp chairs all secured down with lashing straps and a cargo net. Everything was strapped securely and i didn't feel it one bit while driving. However there is noticeable but acceptable reduction in mpg. normal mpg is about 25 without a rack. with a rack loaded with camping supplies is about 20.5 mpg for the same vehicle. Using a thule force xt xl box i get about 24 mpg. but the thule could never hold as much equipment and is not nearly as convenient for loading rafts for a day of rafting. The four clamps used to secure the rack to the roof rack crossbars seemed sufficient and secure, but i went ahead strapped it down with four additional large cable ties to be extra sure. It didn't budge one bit either way but it gave me piece of mind since i was driving abit of distance with in on my roof. All in all i was very happy with this purchase and the versatility of having a roof rack.

This thing is huge and makes travel a breeze. Fits perfectly holds a tond and protects amazingly

The many reviews about rusting did not bother me as I live in the desert where rain, even rust-producing rain, is a rare blessing. I also plan to mount the rack only when going on a camping trip and the like, storing the rack out of the elements when not in use, so rusting isn't a concern. That said, I could see what people were complaining about, given that there are plenty of opportunities for water to enter the insides of the pipes.Assembly was fine, though the instruction sheets could have eliminated the need to put some thought into it. You wonder what the big end caps are for the pipe ends on the front-most and rear-most sections, why you have 8 spacers instead of just 4 for the lower four mounts for the faring, what the rear side plate is for, and why they didn't supply black screws and nuts rather than chrome ones that are very visible against the flat black pipes and faring. Nevertheless, the cargo rack feels strong and sturdy, and I have no doubt that it’ll hold weights as advertised.But what knocked this down to 2-1/2 stars (rounded up because the rack itself feels solid) are the mounts. In theory, the mounts will fit crossbars of the elliptical, aerodynamic kind, which is what my 2006 Land Rover LR3 has. Unfortunately, there are three serious problems. One is that the design requires the crossbars to be fully adjustable, able to slide back and forth so that the bar is perfectly centered between two of the rack's 50 inch crosswise pipes. That’s needed because the mounts’ plastic “saddles” (the pieces that connect the top of the crossbars with the rack itself) are designed to accept those two pipes and secure them in place. On an LR3 (and I assume most Land Rovers), the factory crossbars only lock into specific positions on the truck’s rails, and those positions aren’t 100% compatible with the rack’s pipe spacing. Obviously you can move the rack as needed to get the front set of two pipes to hover over the front crossbar the right way, but above the rear crossbar will be a single pipe (rather than two), and that one isn’t in the right spot to fit snuggly into the saddle. If you aren’t handy with doing the fix I mention below and your vehicle’s crossbars can’t be slid a few inches forward or backward as you need, do NOT buy this rack. Those with narrow cross-“pipes” that are fixed in place rather than crossbars will likely be OK given that you have more wiggle room, but the crosspipe might not be in the middle of the saddle as intended.The second problem is that the people in the Arken division that makes the racks don’t talk to the people in the mount division. The rack’s crosswise pipe spacing is erratic, so that the distance between any two pipes varies. The problem is that the saddle requires a very specific pipe spacing. It was impossible to get the saddle to snap into place between the pipes near the front and the rear. The saddles’ dimensions are uniform (they come out of a plastic molding machine so they should be), but except for one randomly spaced pair of pipes that were the right size, you can’t be sure you can use these saddles. Note that it is quite possible that many people don’t have this problem because the welder on the factory line wasn’t drunk that day, but for me, the tolerances weren’t quite right. There is nothing wrong with the rack’s structural integrity, only with the workpersonship of the factory assembly in regard to the mount design. It’s close, but usually not wide enough.And the third problem is that the “cutouts” on the saddle that are designed to accept the pipes and give them a nice, secure home to rest in once the upper metal plate is screwed into place, are simply too small. The instruction sheets shows the metal plate sitting flush on the saddle when the wingnuts are torqued down, but that isn’t possible with the saddles I received. About half of the rack’s crosswide pipes sit above the cutout, which means that the metal plate is suspended about a half inch above the saddle even when screwed into place. It would have been far more secure to have the plate and the saddle against each other and allowing no potential for movement for the pipes when sitting in their little slots, but that’s not possible as designed. Is it a safety issue? Unclear, but with only four mounts and nearly 200 pounds of cargo sitting above your head, you want it to be perfect.So if you want this rack (and it does look pretty cool and it’s sturdy enough for camping trips when used responsibly), you have two choices if the mounts don’t work for you out of the box as they didn’t for me:1) Throw the mounts away and go look for other options. Your crossbar manufacture might have mounts for other purposes that can be used here.2) Do what I did and bring out your electric rotary cutter with a diamond grit tile & countertop rotary tool. First, I burred away enough plastic on the saddles to give them just enough clearance to snap between two rack pipes where I wanted them. I placed the rack so that the front saddles sat nice on the front crossbar, and then screwed the metal plate onto the U-shaped wire, though the plate never actually touched the saddle for the 3rd issue mentioned above (I probably should have also used the rotary cutter to dig into the saddle a bit so the rack sat lower…another time…). I then made a single depression in the rear saddles so that the single pipe that sat over the rear crossbar dropped into the middle of the saddle all nice. I would have rather have had two pipes in there, but I’m not able to adjust the crossbar positions. The upside of this is that because I did the design work, the plate and saddle are flush and secure.YMMV, but I found this cargo rack to be a small challenge due to poor design and manufacturing of the mounts. Too bad, because the rack itself is a good deal.Nick in Palm Springs

Seems sturdy. Easy to install. My only improvement would be to include installation accessories that will allow the basket to be turned and mounted in the other direction as well.
