I looked at them...and for the price, Ide say it'd be worth a shot. IMO

Rugged metal 2 piece design, w/wind deflector built in + they're powder coated.
They dont try to boost its "image" ...I like that. I looked at them on eTrailer.com

Wow ... someone else is looking at those. I LOVE the design of the Rola basket. Woulda got one but I got a used KargoMaster for a good price. The best price I have seen on Rola was at E-Trailer. In case you haven't checked that site.

I like it alot so far. I've strapped a 55lb kayak to it and drove down the highway with no problems. Personally I think its great for the price.

Default Rola Roof Rack pics

I like it as well, I got mine for 100 used off a friend.
I don't really use it much, because I don't have anything to put on it.

Only thing I don't like is how my roof rack it mounts to is a little "old" now and week.

Old-ish thread but whatever... is it secure being mounted on just the crossbars? I've been thinkin about gettin this rack for awhile but not sure of that. And is it strong enough to put a spare on?
