🏋️ Highland 2006200 Heavy Duty Black Bar Carrier Review

Not only are these bad guys helpful, they can transform a family van into a family van or construction van in just minutes! Fits great on my 40ft extension ladder and now my customers think I know what I'm doing! It turns out that it's also great for street surfing.

Budget option for my drop trailer. I dropped the gutter brackets and reversed the brackets and bolted them directly to the trailer. Remember that you will need to drill through the center and insert the screw provided to prevent the center from rattling.

Great sturdy ladder/trunk. It was a perfect fit for my 1970 Scout. The one I received has a chiseled finish and wasn't actually black, but it looks great. The only real downside for me was that the clamps weren't covered with anything to avoid scratching the car. I put rubber gasket material between the clamps and the gutters. I also bent the disassembly part 45 degrees because I like how it looks.

I really like it, solid build is great for stairs or some 2X4s. Because of the rail attachment points, I would hesitate to haul sheet goods. (at least not over 30mph) The box comes with standard bolts - if you want a stainless installation you'll have to tape strips of old bike inner tube between the dropper clamps and buy all new stainless steel parts. The finish is black and silver, attractive, "spotted", I like it. To extend the life even further, I would purchase foam insulation for the…

I paid just over $50 and for your money this is a great product and deal. I found it to be high quality and easy to assemble. The only tricky part of the installation is that you have to drill a hole in the telescopic pole and install the screw. You will need a 5/16 drill bit to do this. If you have your hands and tools, it only takes a few minutes. Highly recommended.**Update** After installing the stand, I noticed a distinct rumble from the stand while driving. I solved the problem by…

I purchased these roof bars to replace worn cross bars on my 1999 Jeep Cherokee. I am very impressed with the quality and durability of my new roof rack. As you can see from my photos I have two 10ft kayaks mounted on it. They didn't even give way under the weight of the two kayaks. The brackets for my kayak also fit perfectly. I look forward to throwing wood at them to test their strength! Definitely a good buy considering the low price. From reading the instructions to tightening the last…

The biggest issues that bother me are water ingress and the lack of washing machines. This means that if the paint is scratched, it becomes prone to rust. I put foam on the inside of the brackets where the crossbars meet the brackets. Once you've drilled holes in the cross members with your own drill bit, there's nothing stopping you from rusting, provided you don't snap like you did the first time. I put gorilla tape on the inner bars to stop the rattling. I also placed it on the outside…

I haven't installed it yet but did a dry fit to see where it all comes together but wanted to share my insanely detailed rust and wear prevention chart since I was on the Oregon am Coast (and my van is white). 1/4" inner diameter and 5/8" outer diameter washers were used wherever the bolt met another piece of metal. Warning: Use larger washers, these screws are over 1/4 inch so they were difficult to install. Thinner flat rubber washers on the outside of the brackets that all fasteners go…
