EXPEDITION RACK

We looked at several ways to carry our two solar arrays. We liked the idea of an underneath storage behind the axle. But, we couldn't stand the idea of loosing valuable ground clearance. We need it to get into some of those places that are good for the soul.

So we bit the bullet and sprung for the Garvin Industries Wilderness Expedition Rack. Here is a look at it:

Rated at 300 lbs. of carrying capacity, this rack doesn't shake, rattle or whistle in the wind at freeway speeds.

That rack looks great, Mountainborn! Sweet addition to the rig. With 300 lb. capacity, you have plenty to spare.

 

We know (from experience, sadly) that some of the racks whistle when not under load. Glad yours is properly engineered. Congrats on a great (and great looking...) choice.
