Anyone have one? Thoughts on it? I think it looks pretty cool and looks really functional. I use my bed a lot and right now I have my spares strapped down in the rear standing up on each side and it takes up a ton of space. This seems like it would fix that problem and add even more storage solutions up top on the roof rack. I had some concerns about an elevated center of gravity but does ~300 or so lbs really affect it that much on 6000lb truck?

It won't let me load pics so if someone could go on their site and take a pic off there that would awesome.

Looks like a fine product. Only problem is it really is a "Chase Rack" haha. This is built more to support another truck in a race. Anyhow, like you said it does have definite drawbacks. The weight is pretty high and the elevated center of gravity.

I'd say it would be great for Overlanding or extended expeditions but I would not want to use it for higher speed runs. I would not want powerslide around a turn with that thing loaded up.

There's the link for it. Tried uploading a pic of it again and still nothing, oh well. And I think that "actual" chase racks have a lot more functionality than the rest of these racks on the market that take up all of the bed space. This way you can have the bed open for all the gear you need for the weekend and still have 2 spares with you. I think I'm selling myself on it the more I look at it lol. I'm having a hard time believing that 2 tires will alter the center of gravity that much too.

I kinda like it, it keeps the bed space free and also does not block the view out of the back window. It truly is a chase/support truck rack but when your not on the trail just remove the tires and still have a very useful light rack.
