🚚 TMS 800 LB Adjustable Fit 2 Bars Utility Ladder Truck Pick up Rack – US Patent NO.D722,007 Review

Using this cradle with clips (not permanently bolted) to tow a canoe feels very solid and doesn't move while it's moving. Installation was a little tricky at first, simply because of the larger size of the parts and the fact that the supports would seat properly when tightened. The width adjustment works great and fits my 17 F-150 perfectly. The height adjustment is useless unless that 2-inch difference really helps you. The metal seems quite solid, but the connection points could probably be…

I bought these to use as wooden shelving for my truck. I don't like lugging around 12 foot boards hanging from the back door. I'm afraid someone will not see the flags and still run off into the forest. With this stand, the long boards are up high and out of the reach of small cars. So far they make a very robust and solid impression. I bought truck body clamps for mine as I wasn't sure how durable I wanted them to be. The clamps hold them in place well and I keep a 9/16 wrench in the truck to…

Pros: Package arrived quickly. Was well packed. Every single detail was in bubble wrap. Pretty easy to install. It took about an hour. Looks very sturdy and heavy for the price. Cons: The included instructions are terrible. Each panel has 3 holes but they only give you 2 screws for each. I didn't notice this until I installed 2 panels so I have 2 unnecessary holes in the rail. Notes: You need to drill holes in your truck. Spend your money and buy a 3/8 inch carbide drill bit. She will quickly…

When I first opened the box I noticed all the parts were chipped or scratched. If I put this on my truck with the intention of making it look good I would be seriously upset. Because of the price and the fact that I will only use it to transport kayaks every now and then, I still give it 4 stars. Separately, I would like to point out that I installed it on a 2016 Toyota Tundra with a retractable handrail. I didn't want to drill holes in my truck and found that the clamps others were using…

I purchased a unit with a 20% discount that had scratches/dents or other cosmetic damage. I would have thought it would be brand new if it weren't for a few small scratches. The box suffered the most. All parts were there. I used clamps but will end up drilling holes for them. So far it's a lot more than I expected. After everything worked out, I was able to stick with it and do almost hillbilly gymnastics. We could have a party later and do just that. Seriously, it's a tough, sturdy build. I…

Used with camper top clips for easy theft. It quickly rusts when wet, reducing its attractiveness. There was a cavity in a weld. The wide flange will not fit the side rail of a Toyota truck (95 pickup); Existing screw holes come out when butting the flange. I prefer the firmness of this alignment. Some people drilled through the bed beam and used screws, but they had to cut a few inches off the cross tube to join the flanges and make holes over the beams. In my method, the flanges extend an…

I have a 2005 Tundra with an 8" platform and it works so well I wish I had it a long time ago Bought. I don't want to buy them because to install them properly I had to drill two holes in the top of the bed for each of the side pieces. There's no easier way than using the screws provided, they were long enough to reach the other side and secure the nuts in place and I found drilling very easy. Since it took me about 20 minutes to install these poles, including gathering tool, I've done several…

I was planning on making a custom luggage rack for my truck but after I came across these. I couldn't even buy commodities at the price they were sold for. So I bought them thinking that even if I had to rework them a bit, I would still come out cheaper than building from scratch. Received the frame in a small box, the box had minimal damage on the outside, but the sticks were not packed. more than plastic bags. So there was nothing between them and they spent the whole sea way (from the other…

This is an addendum to my original April 2015 review of this pickup rack. I first installed this rack on a Ford F250. The stands are fully adjustable and can be fitted to almost any compact, medium or large pickup truck. I installed the racks by drilling holes in the pickup body rails, but they could be installed with pickup clips. Personally, I felt more comfortable with a permanent nut and bolt installation. Installation is fairly easy and can be done by anyone with a power drill and basic…
