There is some threads on it here. I know a few people that have one and they love it. Said its strong, and rock the jeep hard from side to side with it.
I was gonna order but it was on back order so I got a bumper first.

I have one. I got the "L" edition.
<Here's some pictures>
I like it alot, although it is made in China and Rage powersports has some crappy customer service. I had the short one (M), but it didn't look right on my jeep. Also, the threads were bad. When I got my longer one (L) it looked great and it went together smoothly. Its a great buy, one of the best deals online for racks IMO.

I have one. The floor is weak, I can hear my spare bouncing up and down hitting my roof. The factory U Bolts that hold it to the factory luggage rails SUUUUUCK bad.
But for the price of the rack, and the fact that it doesn't cost hardly anything to fix the little issues wrong with it, its great!

I have the larger version and I think for the money you can't beat it. Yea it could use some upgrades here and there but it gets the job done.
I have some pictures in some previous topics on it. Search around, seems to be a big topic as of late.

I have the large one. It has worked great but I just noticed that the hardware that it came with is dripping rust!!!
Edit:
<----------------------- Oh yeah... I put some cheap lights in the hole that it came with. They fit great!

Update: Bought the "Stingray" model i stead. It is pretty beefy. You should however fill in holed under the top main bar so that it doesnt rust inside like mine is doing. Silicone or duraliner would do the trick. Gonna pick up some black silicone to fill mine in.

Had a local shop order me some rectangle tubing to make beefy cross members (bars). Had to do some hammerin to make clamps fit new bars but..... It is rock solid now.
You will also wanna seal the weld gaps on rack. After several months i had rust coming out of inside. Get some black caulk and seal it up. U will c what i mean when u get it. Mos des worth the lil extra effort for the price. And the rack itself is sturdy birdie. My spare doesnt jump around or slide at all.
Check my build thread for more info, or pm me w specifics. Happy to help.

Ordered the 48.5 x 38.5 through Amazon from Discount Ramps. They are $99.99 plus $30.00 shipping. Also ordered the 30 x 45 cargo net for $8.99 + $6.50 shipping. Can't beat the price! There is one other rack for $84.95 but it has a couple of wind noise and instantly rusting mounting hardware complaints, so I figured why go THAT cheap, the Rage seems to have a good rep.
