ARKSEN 84 x 50 Inch Universal Extra Wide 150LB Heavy Duty Roof Rack Cargo with Three Cargo Nets, Car Top Luggage Holder Carrier Basket for SUV, Truck, & Car Steel Construction

This rack is exactly what I needed. I like that it's much wider than your typical roof rack, so it looks much better on my vehicle. This rack gives me enough space to carry a fuel can, recovery gear, traction boards, and a water container with some space to spare. After reading other reviews and seeing the rust, I decided to spray all the ends with bed liner. It's only been through one rain but no rust yet. Overall great rack and easy to install. Keep in mind, due to the size this thing is heavier than I anticipated but I was able to get it on my roof alone. Two people would have made it much easier.

I just wanted to come back and update this review now that I've had it for 2 years. I didn't do anything special to it as others have said they did to theirs. The paint and overall finish of the metal has held up very well. I had no issues with it when I was in the midwest even during some harsh winters. The only time I had an issue with it was after I moved to Florida. It has started to rust after being here for a year but the rack itself isn't that bad. It's majority surface rust that cam be removed with a Scotch Brite pad and I'm planning on repainting it here soon. The worst areas for rust is in the mounting hardware itself. The bolts and nuts and wing nuts that hold it to your crossbars will absolutely need sunlight and penetrating lubricant to break them free without stripping the plastic wingnuts. I had to remove my crossbars to get my rack off today and it was a real pain. Especially more so now that I have to measure the overhang of my cross bars when I go to put my crossbars back on again to make sure they're even on all sides. But other than for that I have had absolutely 0 problems with my rack in the 2 years I've had it and it has become a permanent installation to my suv since i've had it. People know me when they see me just because of it. It's long enough and wide enough to accommodate a cargo box and have plenty of room on the other side of the rack for other various camping gear. This rack is the next best option I have compared to others on the market.The only downside is that it is not a direct mount to the roof and there's no options for it to be without rails and crossbars. That's also a downside to my suv in general also since there doesn't seem to be any aftermarket support for direct to roof mounting. So for those reasons, I selected this rack 2 years ago and have been happy with it since then.

**UPDATE FINAL***The reseller did an amazing job of honoring the warranty. Although the product had its issues, within one day of posting my review the reseller responded with a full refund. Products often have issues but it’s really great to work with a reseller that knows how to treat the customer. The experience was so good I changed my review rating to reflect my satisfaction with the outcome.***ORIGINAL POSTI used this item for a 2k mile road trip through the blue ridge mountains. The unit was easy to assemble and was fairly sturdy. The main issue I experienced when I returned from our trip was that when I was unloading our roof bags from the carrier, I noticed rust forming at every junction weld on the rack. The unit has only been installed for two weeks and we havent had any rain. This really makes me question the long term durability of this unit. Any metal properly powder coated and sealed shouldnt be experiencing rust this quickly. Makes me curious as to how it will hold up over the coming year, my initial thoughts arent positive as it will likely continue to rust and eventually the welds will lose their integrity as a result.*** April 14th 2021- this update was three weeks after installation. I have attached photos that show the amount of rust that’s coming out from the rack. It’s coming out from the first bar where the welds are of inferior quality. If you look at the paint pictures of my car you will see that there are rust stains all over the roof. I don’t recommend this product as it shouldnt be experiencing this much rust so shortly after installation. Frankly I will probably be pursuing getting a refund.

I bought this roof rack cargo for my wife's minivan, and I am very impressed with it. It is a large and sturdy cargo basket that can hold a lot of stuff. We've used it for a camping trip, and it fits our tents, sleeping bags, coolers, and other gear. The cargo basket is easy to install and secure on the crossbars, and it comes with a wind fairing that reduces the noise and drag. It is a great product for anyone who needs extra storage space on their vehicle.

The roof rack is sturdy, well painted, construction is done well enough that at 90mph for 1 minute there were no issues.I initially had recieved the package with no middle connecting tubes, i messaged the seller and they sent me the parts out no questions asked! Incredible customer support. I plan on using this roof rack for carrying household items for moving, camping items, or construction material such as lumber. Driving it for only about 2 weeks i had about 6 strangers asking about it and they think its really cool!The gas mileage is only reduced by 5mpg. But only if you stay below 75mph.It acts like a windsail above those speeds.
