I need to be able to carry some cargo for extended trips into the mountains. I have a receiver hitch mounted rack, but I need more. This has to go over a hard top.
Being in Mexico, my options are limited. There is an on-line store, kind of a Latin America Amazon, called Mercadolibre. There is a rack advertised there. What looks - from the photos - to be the same rack ranges in listed price from about $560usd plus shipping to nearly $1,300usd with free shipping. I think that they do this (extreme difference in pricing) to stimulate false competition.
Anyway, this looks to be my best option. I am not a metal worker so making one is out of the question. There is a incredibly good welder in my village with whom I need to speak, but I doubt that he´d do this.
The rack can be seen a this page. I'll post a couple of photos below.
I see a couple of threads here with photos of this kind of rack, but nothing helps me out. Can anybody let me know how they work out?
I have a stock bumper with the plastic ends, btw. One of the things that I am not sure of is if I´d need a different bumper, or if I'd have to remove the plastic ends.
Yes, no? Good,bad? Pros, cons? Installation hints?
Thanks!
