How’d it do on your trip? I’m considering purchasing this for my jeep.

@GreatLakesPrepping 7 ай бұрын

@@Billy-qm3dm It did fine. But definitely use the hitch clamp thingie so it can't bounce around.

Thank you so much for this video. I struggled for 30 minutes trying to figure out how the plates went so the cargo create could stand up and didn’t have any luck, so I got on KZbin and found you. Awesome job on describing the assembly.

Glad it helped! I was definitely stumped by that part, until I talked to the guy at the company.

I did get the Haul-Master 750 lbs folding carrier myself. I use a slightly heavier anti-rattling device. The biggest modification I did to it though was I mounted the reflectors that came with it inboard slightly and added mini taillights on the back of it. Just a few bucks for the lights and a 4 pin trailer wiring harness and now I don't worry at all about having my truck taillights partially obstructed when I have a large bulky load.

Thanks! Excellent, detailed video showing how to assemble and use that carrier! The Mockins documentation left a little to be desired in that regard.

your video was the ONLY video that addressed the problem I have with a Kairay carrier (very similar) as the attachment is not making sense. Now I see what it's supposed to do so I'll assume the printed picture might be incorrect and fiddle with it until it does what it's designed to do. Thought I'd subscribe and see what else you do.

Wished you hadn't skipped the locking key part, mines did not lock at all.

@GreatLakesPrepping 4 ай бұрын

Are you talking about the locking receiver pin? It probably will lock, but sometimes those things are finicky and you have to screw with them to lock them. Some of them you have to turn the key what feels like the opposite way.

Great review. This is on my top three cargo carrier list to put on my fifth wheel to carry my generator and dog fence. Do you happen to know the weight?

@luperamos7307 9 ай бұрын

What about the exhaust pipe being at the same level as the rack? Can it be raised?

Hi - where did you get the anti rattle thing?

@GreatLakesPrepping 9 ай бұрын

This one came with the cargo carrier, but you can get them all sorts of places. Here's one for about $9 amzn.to/42UyIjJ

I'd like to get this but i only have a 4 door 2016 Kia Optima with a hitch. Would it be ok with one of those?

@GreatLakesPrepping Жыл бұрын

As long as you have a standard 2-inch hitch, it will work. But on a Kia Optima, it may very well be a smaller hitch receiver.

The shopping reviews are shaky on this one - such as sheared bolts and such, whats are your thoughts on longevity and a decent weight such as 200lbs over a longer journey (especially i65 bumpy as all get out lol

I've taken it on a hunting trip that was about 150 miles each way, and it did great. Loaded up with my huge cooler and a bunch of other stuff. Be sure everything is good and tight when you assemble it, and definitely use the anti-rattle hitch stabilizer thingie. I can't say whether others have had different experiences after a lot of use, but my experience with it has been good.

@mrvang8077 Ай бұрын

I'm liking what I see. My only main concern is theft. Anyone can just take off those nuts and bolt and walk off with the carrier

@GreatLakesPrepping Ай бұрын

I suppose that's technically a risk. I guess something could be rigged up with a padlock and a cable to make it more secure. In my experience, I don't really leave the whole setup attached to my truck except for while in transport.

Awesome hitch carrier.. just noticed your license plate is down pretty low too to have it blocked by the carrier. Do you plan on fastening your plate to the back of the carrier or taking the chance? Thanks!

@GreatLakesPrepping 8 ай бұрын

So far I've gone the "take the chance" path, with this carrier as well as the others I've owned. I guess it's possible that a bored officer might have an issue with it, but I see these types of carriers on other vehicles constantly, and all of them seem to partially obstruct the plate. Not that "well everybody else is doing it!" is a valid legal defense, but if I'm strictly playing the odds, I guess it doesn't seem too risky.
