Defender Racks are made from 16-gauge, fully welded, 1" round steel tubing and finished in a textured black powder coat. Aerodynamic styling blends well with todays vehicle designs. Welded light tabs (4 front & 2 rear) and integrated flooring maximizes functionality. Multiple mounting options offer a secure attachment to any vehicle. The Defender Rack line is produced to exacting standards, and built for years of trouble-free use. Ease of installation is always at the forefront of our designs.
Packaged very well. No damage from shipping. All parts were accounted for. Directions are ok you just need to follow common sense. Powder coating is thick and very attractive. Fit my 07 -13 new body Sierra perfectly.
The rack itself is very solid and relatively easy to assemble, the powder coating is relatively thick and tough but the box it came in caused some rubbing and after a week or 2 I already have a few small rust spots where the coating rubbed off. Overall it's very sturdy and I highly recommend it.
This product itself is amazing. Very sturdy and solid.
