Let down,

May 3, 2010

By Losttime

from Lawrenceville,GA

"When I unpacked there were rust flakes falling from inside the tubing parts. Then on examination you could see rust particles and grinder marks under the powder coat. The discription on the fasteners was poor. The " J " bolts to allow drill less mounting have three times the curve required to reach under the rim. The joint clamps on the upper tubing will not secure the joint properly. The guides for the " J " bolts do not leave clearance for a utillity box. I installed the rack any way and took most of the day. I assembled it on the F150 by myself. I cut off the forard " J " bolt guides and allowed the tool box to do the holding job. The upper clamps will need quick screws added to hold the top together. Good luck."

Good Ladder Rack for the price !!!,

February 22, 2010

By Edge2009

from Glenville, NY

"My six year old son and I assembled this new ladder rack in approx. two hours. After assembling the ladder rack, I installed it on my 2001 F250 Superduty. The rack did not have enough height to clear the cab so I had to perform a modification to gain a little more clearence, no big deal. For the price, this is a good looking ladder rack and is also very sturdy."

Good choice for contractors,

February 22, 2010

By BigBee

from Williamsburg, VA

"Overall this was a very good investment. The J hooks that hold the main supports are worthless so you will end up having to drill if you want this to be a strong rack. Some bolts were missing from the box but I bought the ones I needed and it works fine. Other reviews said you will have to weld, this was not true for me. I built my rack in about four hours. I put a spare tire on top with a fire extinguisher rack and some tools as extra doo-dads. I used my rack for off roading mainly with lights on the front etc. I have a big lifted truck and this rack makes it look even bigger. Thanks Northern."

Good ladder rack for the price,

"I bought this rack for my 2001 Sierra half-ton extended cab shortbed. Overall I like it. The price was good compared to other racks out there, it's strong and sturdy, the only complaint is that the 'clamp' means of holding the two halves together (the rectangle-shaped part on the photo with the 2" diameter circle cutout) is a stupid design. The back rack tubes are crimped in order to slide into the front rack tubes, then they are held together by means of a 'clamp' that spans the joint by about 4" on either side. This friction means of holding the tubes together can't take much stress before the rack starts to come apart, no matter how tight you make the clamp bolts (admittedly I did have a lot of tension on the rack because I had stuff lashed up off the front and other stuff lashed up off the back; long story). I didn't care to take off the powder coat in order to weld the two halves together, so I just drilled a hole through both tubes on the front side of the joint and put a bolt through to lock the tubes together. I just did this to the larger bottom tubes, I have to do it to the top tubes now since they are starting to come apart too. Someone here said that their rack didn't have as much clearance over the cab as shown on the picture, that's probably because the picture is of a Ford truck and they have a GM truck. Ford bedsides are taller than GM. For what it's worth, my rack came with risers to lift the rack another 6" or so, I didn't use these so I can't say how sturdy they are. Since the product description doesn't say that the risers are included it may just be a fluke that I got them with my rack.
This rack is sturdy with no squeaks or rattles, though the wind does howl through it on the highway. It's not exactly easy to take off, but I was able to do it by myself in about 30 minutes including taking off the clamp bolts, which I suppose does fit with the product claim that it can be removed in minutes. The rack is plenty sturdy without the center brace, but I installed my center brace over the cab roof instead of the center of the rack. I did this because it makes moving about the bed easier and to give the cab roof a little extra protection. The grab handles off the back are very handy to climb up in the bed. All in all this is probably the cheapest rack you'll find, and it's a universal fit, so don't expect that you can install it without some tinkering around, and if you expect to put a lot of stress on the front section you should plan on bolting or welding the tubes together.
One other thing is that Northern also sells the same rack under the Buffalo Tools brand, Item# 3309672. They look identical to me except that the Buffalo tools rack specifically states that it comes with the riser kit, and the Buffalo rack is $20 more plus you have to pay shipping."

J-hook clamps don't work, etc.,

October 29, 2009

By KenM09

from Waynesville, NC

"Out of the box ...
1) The paint is chipped in many places and has rusted there.
2) The instructions are poor, missing some steps. Small pictures, printed poorly help some, but not much.
3) The J-hook clamps, for temporary installation, don't tighten down onto my trucks side. ('95 Toyota T100) When tightened, the curve of the j-hook tightens onto the sleeve of the mounting feet before the pad of the j-hook even touches the truck side railing. So, the whole rack can still be moved by hand. I had to drill holes in the truck and mount the rack as a permanent installation, after buying 1/2 " bolts to do this, the bolts for permanent installation did NOT come with the rack."

Not a great fit,

August 1, 2009

By radtate

from MI

"My husband and I put this together but the instructions were not the greatest for do-it-yourselfers, alot of times we depended more on the pictures and common sense than the directions. Says it fits all trucks but the vertical structural bars should have been longer to get anywhere near the clearance over the cab that is shown in the pictures. We had to raise it with blocks of wood under the vertical support feet on the truck bedrail in order to get enough clearance to stop scratching the roof of our 2005 Ford F-350. If you are willing to do that and touch up the paint it is okay for the price."
