Good price for what you get.

This application went on a Ford F350. My work trucks have always had full pipe racks. I would not expect this rack to compare with those as this is a segmented (2 piece) set up. I just needed something to carry the odd long piece of lumber or pipe and not have to pay $50 delivery prices for the privilege. The first thing I would recommend is to "through drill" and bolt the pieces together and not rely on the supplied set screws. The set screws will be the first thing to come loose and cause a problem. I will confess that I did build a 48" extension x 18" wide to the front rack. I did this to stabilize 20' lengths of PVC pipe. This was a custom welding job that took me some time. The problem I ran in to was the height of this rack. In the pictures on Amazon, it looks like the rack clears the shown F150 by about 5" of clearance. On my F350, that number shrunk to about 2" of clearance. So, just be aware of this. Hint: To stabilize these racks I added a black ratchet strap between the front and the back portions. This way the racks are supported fore and aft by each other. I was going to bolt a steel flat bar to the two ends, but decided the ratchet strap idea was quick and easy to remove. Hope this helps you out.
