I dunno about that one but, maybe you can do a search for reviews. I tried to cheap may way into one and I got what I paid for for. I shipped back an ebay one and then started looking of deals on better ones.

Other than an easy way to carry my Hi-Lift jack, shovel and a mounting platform for my aux lighting, I really haven't needed mine much. When I got into a pinch doing 200 mile daily commutes this past winter and tried to increase my mpgs, I yanked mine.

Maybe, telling us what you picture your end goal is will help us determine if, that one is what you need.

I can't speak to the quality of the roof rack but, I bought some tie down straps and one of them roof top luggage bag things from "discountramps" last fall. I had no trouble with them or the items I purchased.

I quickly googled for a review of the rack. Forget that this is on a heep forum but,

It's pretty good and goes into the wiring and other aspects.
