ARKSEN 43 x 50 x 6 Inch Universal Extra Wide 150LB Heavy Duty Roof Rack Cargo with Extension 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.

Was easy to put together and install. I like the look

After reading reviews mentioning shipping damage, I gave mine a good inspection. Everything looked good...no bent tubes, no damage, components were packed really well. Mating parts slipped together quite easily, and nothing was misaligned. After a dry fit test, I disassembled and gave each slip-in part a dose of black silicone caulking before fitting together to minimize vibration and water intrusion from rain...this I'd strongly recommend. Just apply a generous amount of silicone (I put a large blob onto a piece of scrap wood and used a tongue depressor stick to "butter" the pieces) and wipe off the excess after fitting together. All screws and U-bolts are metric M6x1mm thread pitch. I replaced the included screws with 18-8 stainless steel screws with a black oxide coating so they'd blend in with the black rack (got them at McMaster-Carr); the tulip-looking nuts for the U-bolts will stick up above the floor of the rack, so I replaced them M6 nyloc locknuts. If the U-bolts protrude about the floor of the rack (mine did) you can cut off the excess with an angle grinder or a Dremel (see the last image). The rack came with a nice textured finish and required only minor touch-up, so I sprayed it with a coat of Herculiner. The only nit was the front fairing...I didn't like the fit (wouldn't sit flat) so I simply left it off. All in all, I was pretty surprised at the quality of the rack. It may not be a Yakima or a Thule, but it didn't cost as much as those either. I'm using the 50" x 64" model, which doesn't seem as large on the roof of my '95 4WD Suburban. No complaints whatsoever. EDIT: As I mentioned, I replaced the flower-looking nuts with stainless steel M6 nyloc locknuts. I was able to find some protective covers on Amazon to cover the exposed threads of the U-bolts to minimize any corrosion. These can be seen in the last pic. Just need a sharp utility blade to cut the covers down to the proper length to cover the threads. Just search 'round rubber end caps' on Amazon and you'll find them.

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.

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.

I wanted the biggest roof rack I could get since I have a suburban and most racks look tiny on it, took me about 30 min to assemble following the instruction and they provide the Allen key to tighten everything, seems to be good quality, but the crossbars seem like they are only tack welded and not welded fully around the skinny bars so there is gaps, Also the mounts it comes with to secure the rack didn’t even fit between the bars in the back so I tightened them down as much as possible but I’ll need some other type of mount to fully have ease of mind that it’s secure, I saw the other reviews about rusting so I sprayed some flex seal and I’ll see how that holds up in the rain

I got this unit for a 2006 (1st Gen) Toyota Sequoia. It fits perfectly. I had gotten a small model before and it just looked too small. I did have to reorder a replacement unit because the first one had a connector tube that was manufactured slightly bent; there are about 2 dozen connection points, so to have ONE be slightly off wasn't a big surprise (especially for an inexpensive, Made in China product). I tried forcing it and it ended up slightly out-of-square, so I just reordered. The 2nd unit assembled perfectly. The rack itself is great. It can handle more weight than advertised - guessing I had about 200-225lbs up there on a trip from CA to TX without warping/bending. Looks great. I spray painted my screws black for a cleaner all-black look vs the bright stainless. Overall, I am pleased - and I have received several compliments.

Absolutely love it hundreds of road trips with it. Stacked to the brim absolutely wonderful

The rack arrived but we did not receive the cargo bag that was included in the price, we messaged the company through Amazon and their customer service was prompt and excellent, and we received the cargo bag within a week. They get a 5 star rating due to skilled customer service and quick resolution. We are extremely pleased with the car top rack and cargo bag, sturdy and well made! If you want it for your boat top roof to gain more space on deck, this will do the trick!

Well made product

super beau look,sauf que si vos barres transversales ont plus de 1 pouce, leurs attaches ne convient pas essayez de trouver une autre methode pour fixer

Après 15 jours j’ai remarqué la rouille sur le porte bagage 😡
