Bought a cheapo from Discountramps.com I needed to stay low for parking garages so hopefully this will still fit. At some point I will probably move this to the wifes and either go Mopar or Wilderness rack direct to the side rails.

Yeah...I was about to say that it looked a bit small. A 45x50 would of fit better.

If your cross rails can come apart, you could slide them through the rack itself, dropping the rack another 2 inches or so so that it sits between the factory rails, not above them.

Hind sight is 20/20, and I think I would have tried that rack instead of my Black Widow.

I almost went with a Yakima Basketcase mounted low between the crossbars. but over $100 plus the mighty mounts I figured I give this cheapo a try first.

Thats cute!

Looks like a Training Rack. Not meaning to be harsh but what can you do with that?

It still looks cute.

Just going to be used for suitcases,bags of stuff whatever while carting the kids to and from college and maybe camping. No heavy lifting required! That's why I need a trailer! :wink:
