Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons
The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

Milk * are the only thing that need to be changed. Swivel the upright into place and start the second bolt. Elongating the lower rear bracket holes was just right.

Great rack. Sturdy with a great finish. Design is sleep, it's build is rugged and strong, and i think it'll last a very long time.



Cons

It's not easy as bolt on. It needs to be modified to fit the stock bumper. There is still significant side-to-side movement with the vertical bars in the rear, since they only attach at the bumper mounts.

It is as if they intentionally left out the most difficult part of the assembly. The incorrectly drilled hole seems like the kind of thing a quality control inspection would catch. The directions are a joke. They tear easy.

Quality


They have the quality smittybilt used to have before they turned into a parts importer.


The build quality was better than i expected.


The instructions that come with the racks are garbage.


I can tell you right now that the metal is good, but smittybilt's manufacturing quality control is awful.

Price


For the lowest price rack out there i didn't have my hopes up.

Packaging/appearance


Packaging arrived easy to move and maneuver.


You have to remove the powder coating.

Competitiveness


Unbox and grab the long bolts in the package, you're going to need to go to the store and get six (6) more of these1.

    Also the instructions are pretty vague but the assembly is almost self explanatory

    Solid rack although the bolts you are given are a tad short and may not work with a aftermarket bumper


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    The plastic knobs for the rack cross bars were pointless

    Its really not as hard to put together as some make it sound and im going to try to give you a quick stepbystep instruction


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Major downside which was to be expected was the additional road noise it causes


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    For a regular person it was a little difficult to put on taking more tools than planned but phone calls directly to the manufacturer helped and i got it on


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    The instructions that come with the racks are garbage


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Seriously throw the instructions out and watch a youtube video or just use some common sense and figure it out but dont bother with the instructions
