ROLA Ladder Rack 59799 for my 2017 DCSB

I went and purchased the ROLA Ladder Rack 59799 to help me transport my long kayaks for long trips. I have two hobies, outback and PA14. It does the job. Its rated 800lbs with support brackets. I didn't install the support bracket because my load is not that heavy. Initial Install went good. No Drilling or Modifications. Happy with the product. This is used for bed rail system. I also have the hitch extender for easy load up and for short trips, but for long trips, I don't like having items over hang to far.

 

looks great, Can I ask why did you choose this brand over others?
Thanks

 

Price I paid for is the reason why I choose this brand. Quality is great. Fitment is Great. Aside from not being adjustable like thule xsporter (which was my first choice), I have no complaints.

 

Do you mind telling how much? I looked at their website but there's no prices listed.

 

I got it @ Amazon $255 last month. It is back to its regular price at $355. etrailer has them for $321 w/free shipping. ebay has it for $288 (trendsauto)

Hope it’s still working well,

Was there anything on the legs to keep from sitting directly on the plastic of our bed rails?

 

thin adhesive pad

 

I have the same racks for my kayak. Super light, feels solid and I liked that it used the existing bed rails with no mods.

Cons
1. The little rubber strip on top of the bars ripped the first time I pushed my boat up there. Not a big deal
2. I wasnt really paying attention and over tightened one of the "lock" washers used to secure the rack to the rails. The locking mech doesnt really work anymore and I have to jam a flathead in there to get off and remove.
3. If there's a better way I havent figured it out, but I wish it was easier to leave the bolts and washers together and slide on and off the rails in 1 piece. Mainly bothersome to me because my truck wont fit in the garage with the rack on.

 

I bought this and haven’t installed it yet. Actually I bought the wrong one, the one made for all other trucks. It’s been so long I can’t return it so now I have 2 sets sitting in the garage. Do you remove it often?

 

Mine went on and off probably 10x last summer. Nothing to it really
