I don't own one but have thought about building one. they seem like they could be a great way to free up inside space on a road trip.

I guess all I have to add is be careful where you put the straps. I was caravaning down to Uwharrie a few years back with Paisan's trooper full of DougH, Patrick "the redneck Asian", and Paisan's friend. About 10 mintutes into the trip something big went flying past my windshield. Paisan pulled over and found that one of the 2 inch ratchet straps had been burned through by the exhaust and let go of the mechanical piece of the ratched strap. I'm just glad it went by my windshield and not through it. They repositioned the other strap, added a bungee cord and we were back on our way.

But without the rear Cargo holder there would have been no way to carry 4 guys and all of their gear for a weekend of camping and wheeling. Oh yeah, and be careful of your departure angle pulling out of the gas station. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/shiner.gif" alt="" />
