MaxxHaul Gutter Mount Van Rack - 500 lb. Capacity - Heavy Duty Stainless Steel Ladder Rack for Vans with Rain Gutters - No-Drill Installation, 2-Bar Set, White (70440)

I bought this Rack for hauling a Canoe on our 1970's VW Bus. 'Had to do a few slight modifications to have it just the way I wanted, but was good and solid, and simple to put on, and remove when not needed. I wouldn't hesitate to put some much heavier things on it, like piles of lumber or camping gear. Another highly-successful (and economical) Amazon buy!

Easy installation it took two people to install though. Quality products very strong well painted won't chip we'll adjust to different widths for Van width only problem is is trying to figure out how to strap ladders to roof rack appearance looks good very factory looking

First and foremost, this is not a premium roof rack and as such, I will review it for what it is. If you are looking at this rack you are probably in a similar positions as I was, you've got a van but need to haul something longer or too awkward to put in the van. I purchased this to haul several 16 foot long boards. The rack will easily handle what I need it for. The quality is not great and the powder coat is very thin. The tubes are no where near similar in size so there's huge gaps where they clamp together. The rail clamps seem pretty decent and there is plenty of adjustments for using on lots of different vehicles. I installed on a 1986 Toyota Van Wagon, they are ugly as sin but will function! Installation was easy for one person to do. The rail clamps locked in tight and feel very stable. Good deal for the price but don't expect premium quality for this price.

Sounds like this can be a hit/miss, based on reviews. However, I've had mine on for 2 years and it's rock solid. I have this set mounted to my van, then I have a 50lb steel cage rack mounted to this set. I've had hundreds of pounds on the rack and put hundreds of miles on with no issue. I hope future customers have an experience like mind has been. As far as I can tell, this product works as advertised, even through use and abuse. Hard to beat for half the price of the next competitor.

Very simple design. Most of the bolts are ready in place. The metal is much thicker than expected. Probably the thickest tubing I have got from any amazon rack. My cam sucks, but the pictures show how thick the metal is. As for the paint, its questionable so there is that. I probably should respray it, but since its white I am gonna leave it. I dont have of any hard white paint. I use engine enamel on most of my things. Engine paint dries very hard and if you make a mistake you can hit it softly while paint is still soft with a torch and the overspray disapears.

EXCELENTE, TRAJO TODAS SUS PIEZAS. SE NOTA BUENA CALIDAD

We ordered two sets. Worked well, good quality --once we made adjustments. The clamps had to be adjusted to the correct angle to properly clamp onto our gutter. Also, one of the welds on the inside of one of the pipes was blocking it from sitting properly and had to be file off the protruding weld. Once these adjustments were made-- they worked Great! Worth the money, if on a limited budget!

Installed easily in minutes. Its heavy duty but the paint started to wear off soon after placing a ladder on it. It looks very professional though and I would recommend it to anyone. I would even buy them again if I needed more. Thanks for the great product!

The overall construction is simple but it seems well made. It was easy to assemble and mount myself. No issues fitting on a '98 GMC Savanna

I've had this for months now. So far so good. Only thing I'd like to critique is that the adjustable tension on one of the rails was a little "off" so I had to add a shim to get the tension properly. It could be due to the lip of my roof on a 2000 Dodge Ram 3500 Cargo van. I spray painted it black to match my other 2, now I got 4 along my roof. Makes it super strong as I will add a light platform for large solar panels. I hope the tension parts get modified by the company a bit just to make it foolproof right out the box. The clamp should cover more area with a larger grip surface. Easy to modify yourself if one is a DIY person.

The rack is great however i would hit it with a enamel paint out of the box . It is showing some rust on the hardware and a few spots . All in all im very happy with it so far ..

Roof racks and braces today are so vehicle specific, this one fist both my vehicles and changeover is quick and easy. Very well built

Work perfect on our van, strong, heavy duty, color matches, easy to install, very happy with purchase.
