I guess it weighs 30-35lbs. I'm building one now, I'll hang it on the scale when it's done, as I get that question periodically. It is lightweight though.

Well, if your Jeep's parked outside, it may as well look good!

Have any of your customers put snowboard racks on your roof rack somehow? I love the look of your rack and want to eventually get one but I am hoping to be able to throw snowboard racks on it

Well thanks brother! When a roof rack can even appeal to a self-admitted roof rack hater, that's big!

You're welcome to come check one out anytime.

I'm sure we can accomodate any provision to mount a snow board rack up there, or even fabricate a board rack for you as part of the rack system. I have a custom build I'm wrapping up right now for a fellow up in Washington that he'll be using to haul stand up paddleboards, so anything's possible!

I've gone away from rigid-mounted spare tire mounts in favor of suggesting ratchet straps for your spare tire, and for a few reasons. Basicly, it's a much cleaner and much less expensive option. You can completely remove the tire (or reposition it) to make the best use of your rack when you need it. If you need to haul a few pieces of plywood home, they'll fit inside the rack once you move the tire, but if a spare tire mount was there, it'd be right in your way. If you only want a roof rack to haul your spare, I've got less expensive options for you that can accomodate that! I'd like to give you the absolute best bang for your buck - if you're going to spend your money on a Trail Rack, I want it to do anything you ask it to do.
