Hi Guys!
I'm on vacation in Mesa, Arizona, and decided it was time to use the roof rack and make some room inside the car by installing a cargo carrier.
I spent a lot of time online researching rooftop cargo carriers to see what I could get locally for a decent price. It came down to Cabela's 18 cubic foot cargo carrier. it was $50 more than the JEGS model on Amazon, but I could pick up Cabela's model locally at Bass Pro. The rating on the Bass Pro definitely wasn't as good as the JEGS, which bugged me, but I needed it.
I watched 2 KZbin videos, one for the Cabela's and one for the JEGS. They looked the same, although Cabela's video didn't show the hardware. Nonetheless, I felt confident in installing it myself.
When I picked up the carrier at Bass Pro, I asked if they would mind if I installed it in the parking lot and they keep the cardboard box, and thankfully, they were fine with it.
As soon as I saw the U bolts, I knew it was the same exact carrier as the JEGS branded one. they have a special shape that I haven't seen before.
All totall I had it installed in about 20 minutes by myself. Instalation is extremely easy, the hardest part being adjusting the cross members to be spaced correctly for the U bolts to fit into the carrier's existing holes. Which wasn't hard at all.
All in all, I'm happy with my purchase. The $50 was worth picking it up and having it that day rather than hoping for a shipment to arrive before I leave for home. Although today I noticed the price for the JEGS one on Amazon has since went up to $299.99, so there is no difference at this point.
Thank you for watching!
