Universal Extendable Pick-Up Truck Rack Bed Rack Aluminum (Truck Rack & Cross Bars)

I was hesitant to buy this rack, it had no reviews and i couldn’t find any info about it online. However am very pleasantly surprised by the quality and the functionality. It is very strong thick gauge aluminum and the welds are very well done. It assembles easy, however the instructions are not very clear in regards to which screws and bolts are used for which part. It easy enough to figure out though. I installed it on a 2021 Chevy Silverado. It looks great! For the price and quality, I am very glad that I got this rack. It also arrived a day sooner than expected, showed up in 4 days when it was stated that it could take between 5 and 15 days to arrive.

I almost didn’t buy this but glad I did. Well I will start with the build. Each piece is very solid good quality aluminum. All hardware and screws are high quality. Very good design with one exception. To be able to raise or lower it requires the loosening of at least 10 screws per upright. That is quite a task just to adjust. I highly suggest just setting to a height you will get the most out of it a leaving it. Also make sure you don’t take both screws out of each bracket at the same time. If you do you will have to disassemble the entire upright to get the hold bracket out. Install was about 7 out of 10 but I gave only two stars for install. That’s because the instructions are useless. I had to figure out where each screw went individually which took most of the time for assembly. Also attaching to the vehicle was a pain with out good instructions because you have to do things in a certain order. The first upright was learning what that order is. All together with figuring out what screw last went where and installing took about 4 hours. If you are not even slightly mechanically inclined do not buy this. It is sad the instructions were not better because it would be a hot seller.

It’s well known by now this product comes with very bad instructions, I just had to figure it out. Two of the adjustable towers did not move freely I had to use a rubber mallot to move them while the other two moved more freely. The bolts that you have to loosen to adjust the arms come out upon driving, I almost lost my rod vault because 3 bolts came completely out and multiple others were nearly almost completely out. I got the towers at the height I wanted then put locktite on EVERY BOLT. Very important put locktite on the bolts because if you don’t this thing is very dangerous on the road otherwise in my opinion. The only thing I like about this is the look on my truck, however I wish I would have spend a few more hundred and got something else. I would never buy this product again. I’ll keep this rack on my truck for the meantime and for sure getting something else because this rack is stressful between wondering if it’s going to fall apart while driving or having to adjust the towers.

Very sturdy. Instructions are worthless. Tips... double stick tape the rubber pad to the underside of the mounting bracket. Get longer bolts for the mounting system for a Tacoma.I added a nut under the mounting bracket to lock the longer bolts in place. Then used outside part of the provided clamps with a t slot nut for the rails in the truck bed. Fits well.Note that the rack will seem flimsy until all parts are installed. It works as a complete unit.

Sturdy once assembled, yes. The money saved ends up costing you time in assembly. Lots of small hardware and plenty left over! Any adjustments in the height required realignment of the uprights and hardware. The uprights and cross bars don't offer a lot of space between so that's kind of a bummer. I made the mistake of unloosing bolt from their braces and the braces fell INTO the uprights! Took a while to get them out and required some creativity with zip ties. I do not look forward to adjusting distance or height in them. Too much work.

It is a very well built rack and very easy to put together. Great for my rtt that I plan to put on it. I'd buy it again if I need another. The paint was nice, but I think it could be thicker. The only issues I've found was all the rack base angles in direction so once everything is installed, it has a slight dog tracking. I didn't use the instructions to assemble, I did everything by eyeball. But I did skim through and like all reviews, the instructions are worthless. All in all, a very strong rack. Quality could be improved for alignment.
