Rhino-Rack Carrier for Skis, Snowboards, Fishing Rods, Paddles, Skateboards, Water Skis, Wakeboard & More, Universal Mounting, Easy to Use, Locking, Lightweight & Heavy Duty, Suitable for All Vehicles

This was very easy to install and very easy to use. It has made transporting our fishing poles so much easier. It's a game changer!

I bought these ski/fishing today racks to transport my surf fishing rods while traveling to and from fishing spots. The installation instructions were clear and easy to follow. It's a simple 1 person job. I did need a short ladder to mount the front rack on my truck caps ladder rack. The rear rack was accessible by staning on my tail gate. The are solid, well built and operate smoothly. Highly recommend!

I've driven with it installed on my truck over 600 miles. No issues. I am able to put 6 rods, 2 of them are 12 ft surf fishing rods and 4 7 ft smaller rods. Still have space for 3-4 more.

Was looking for an alternative carrying system for my one piece fishing rods besides keeping them inside my SUV and taking up seating space. These multi-purpose carriers do a decent job. I was able to carry 5-6 rods, ranging from 7' to 10' lengths securely. I mounted the carrier directly onto my Toyota OEM roof rack cross bars. Carrier is key locked and keeps rods secure, but at night I still took them into the hotel to be safe.I only carried my rods but there is enough clearance for most reels too except for the largest ones. Overall I'm please with the carrier, but I've already treated the nylon and rubber with a UV / Sun protectant. Most nylon, plastic and rubber will eventually succumb to the FL sun. Durability to heat, sun and weather is to be determined. Thnx.

This product is super nice. It looks cool and is super handy for snowboards. It easily fits 4 boards.It is extremely solid in high winds, which was my original concern as we often drive through Wyoming on I-80 to get from CO to UT. (If you know you know)I only have two complaints, the first is With 4 boards it is extremely difficult to latch shut by myself, (requiring a grown man to put his entire weight into pulling it down) but with 2 boards I have no problem. The second, is that when there are no boards, it vibrates SO LOUD. But, there isn’t anything that can be done about that, every brand of the same product will do the same.

This was my first edition to my new elevate rack. This rod holder allows you to use the T slot and it tightens up nicely. I do have a couple large shark rods that are 1.5” in diameter, the holder will still close easily.My only suggestion to the company is to use better quality t slot bolts. I almost stripped one of them, I’ll probably end up upgrading them for peace of mind. But overall a solid purchase.

Easily fits 3 snowboards. Could definitely get a 4th one on there if needed. Make sure you buy the right size. I knew I needed to fit 3-4 boards so I bought the 27in one. As you can see in the pics it fits just fine. Anyone complaining about it probably picked the wrong size. The locks must be engaged for safety purposes, don't want your equipment flying away if the latch opens. The locks can be difficult to engage when its fully loaded. You have to push down on the top while turning the key. Its not too bad on my little car but could see it being an issue with a bigger truck/suv. If anything messes up I'll update this review, but currently I'm very happy with the quality and the price.

I've owned a similar roof rack, but not the RHINO brand. I had to get rid of my old roof rack (Thule or Yakima-- one of those two; I forgot), so thought maybe I give Rhino Rack's a try since I needed something to hold 4 snowboards on top of my SUV and it seemed like the best bang for my buck rather than spending a premium on the other brands. My biggest complaint is that it's a struggle to load 4 boards on top. Let's start from good to bad....The good-- upon opening and initial inspection, it's a very good looking roof rack. Black, clean, and sleek looking if you're trying to go for looks as well on your car/truck. I was since I have a two-toned black and white color SUV. It feels durable and quality looks to be top notch even though it's mainly plastic-- good enough for me. It was very easy to install and the directions are very straight forward. It does seem like it could deter thieves since it has a special tool for mounting, but I've always had the mentality that if somebody really wanted to, then they'll be able to steal it. Either way, looks good enough and so far so good on appearance and quality.The bad-- the temperatures dropped to single digits here in Minnesota, and it's time to hit the slopes. Loaded all 4 boards on top like I always do, but the clamps/latches would NOT snap down into place. Again, it's not user error since I've owned a similar rack before and know how to load 4 snowboards on top. A couple of adjustments and FORCING it down it finally clamped shut. I'm thinking the cold temperatures may have hardened the rubber to not allow it a little give to clamp over the boards-- OK, but it shouldn't be this hard since I've never had a problem with my old racks clamping down in cold weather, so we'll give it another try.Second part now-- locking it into place. This was where the frustration grew and I was unable to turn the key now that there seems to be so much force/pressure on the latches. I think the design is to blame here because I could NOT do this one alone and did not want to hit the road without it locking into place thinking that it might pop open on the highway (BIG NO NO!). I had to get a ladder and stand high enough to put pressure on the latches and a SECOND person turning the key to lock it into place. Finally we got the 1st one to lock, and onto the 2nd clamp. Same deal and same amount of pressure-- got it both! Made the trip and it worked as expected, but I did have a feeling on the back of my mind of it popping open due to the added pressure/stress on the latches.Return trip from the slopes-- brought my mini-step ladder (shouldn't have to, right?!) and did the same steps with my 2nd helper to reload the snowboards. First lock was the same level of effort as the first time, and now the 2nd latch was NOT cooperating. No matter the amount of pressure the key would not turn and lock it into place. Every time we get the key to turn, the latch would pop up and we're back at step 1. Lot's of failed attempts-- maybe the cold weather finally got to it after it sat in the parking lot for a couple of hours in the cold. IDK-- again never had this problem with my other racks of same size and function. Anyways, we all made the decision that one locked is better than not having any of them locked, so I slammed shut the 2nd latch and left it without locking the key (keep in mind instructions/directions say to LOCK BOTH latches and not just have it shut). Made it home and luckily the latches never popped up and the boards stayed in tact. You get the picture now-- added stress of driving with only 1 latch that was locked and hoping that it doesn't just pop off altogether. The other part where I literally had to carry a step ladder to be able to apply enough pressure from the top to latch all the boards with a 2nd person turning the key.... cmon man!I'm leaving for another trip in a week and hopefully the weather is a bit warmer than last time, but again it should NOT be this difficult to latch up 4 snowboards. My old roof rack fits 4 boards and it was easy to snap the latches and lock them into place. Didn't even need a ladder of any sort or apply that much pressure (I'm 6ft and 220 pounds). If I struggle to get this going again, then I'm going with a return and pay a little more for a different brand-- Thule or Yakima.Very disappointed at this time, but will provide an update.Minnesota Customer - Installed on 2021 4Runner.

I'm using this for fishing rods as I don't have room in my vehicle for them. I can fit four fishing rods in this perfectly. Works great.

I wasn’t sure what type of rack to BT for our snowboards but I have to say I’m very happy with this one. Installation was easy and it’s very simple to install. I’d definitely buy it again.

The ski racks work perfectly. If using the plastic bar clamps that come with it, definitely make sure not to over tighten the hex key bolts they will break without warning. I does say right on them in the plastic not to over tighten. If using the T-bar attachment method (by removing the bar clamp plastic foot) it lowers the overall height by about 1”

Très bon rapport qualité prix et je n ai pas de bruit de vent en roulant

Installed these in the fall, used them last weekend. Great. I like that they lock. With the covid situation, not able to go with anyone and the coffeshops are closed for the after ski. At least can still use these to transport my crosscountry skis.
