Like the title says, anyone familiar with this one? Its a little more affordable that the yakima.
The only concern I have is the mounting clamps. Would i need to get the ones Nissan sells for the oval bars?

Without going out and wrapping a tape around my crossbars I am going to guess that those clamps will not work that well. The bars are pretty big, and it looks like you would need to be unthreaded quite a ways to get those clamps to go on the bars.

As for the rack, I'm not familiar with it. I have the yakima rack.

That is the exact same one I paid $60 for at Overstock.com. Exact!
There is a post here on a search back in like April or May. Someone said it would rust out in 3 weeks. I have had it on for 13K miles no rust, and have had twice the weight on it for a trip or two. If you can just find it cheaper. It fits perfectly. But I had to modify the brackets with longer bolts, cost like $5 at hardware store. I'd buy same one again. MC

You don't have to be a Costco member to buy from their web site.

That's actually a very good find and welcome to the club by the way. :wave:

 

[eXTra fORt]

Both the one shown on "Prolineracks" and "Costco" looks very similar to the rack made by "Sportsrack" here in Canada.

The "Sportrack" is very sturdy, fits nicely on the X (with and lenght without extension). There are probably 20 of those in our Club. No complain so far.

How we use them:

See Ya!

That Colman look just like the yakima the same dimensions and everything....I may have to snag this......great price too. $109 hell ya.

 

[usmc xterra]

Yea that Coleman looks good> I bet out of same mold. You can't pass that up! Everyone Order one now! MC

PS Time I get people to buy stuff the don't really need LOL

 

[JasonK06X]

Awesome links everyone. Thanks! Looks like the Coleman is one heck of a deal. Did the brackets work ok with our big ass oval crossbars?

 

[kneebuster]

I haven't bought the Costco rack yet, I just saw it while I was looking for the CoverKing neoprene seat covers that they sell.

Thanks for the welcome Dan.

danh1023 I think I'm with you I may just have to order me one of these too.......Do these need the mite mounts?

 

[XterraOverload]

Just ordered ......................I'll put up a pick when it gets here.

 

[JasonK06X]

Please let us know about the mounts. I'm gonna have to order one of these too!

 

[XterraOverload]

Will do

 

[XterraOverload]

Still hasn't gotten here yet but will let you know as soon as it does.
Steve if you see this how did you hook yours up? Did you use mounts that came with it or mighty mounts?

 

[danh1023]

Arrived today! It's better than I thought, and the mounts were very similar to the mighty mounts that come with the Yakima Load Warrior.
Install took about 30 minutes. The mounts fit the cross bars with no problems at all. :cheers:
"It is so choice. If you have the means, I highly recommend picking one up."

 

[usmc xterra]

Happy for ya that was a great deal. Lock it up somehow so you keep it.
