these racks are sweet. I am going to check out one soon.

They are actually made in Baja too, which is cool

Any idea what the Mega Mule weighs?

Also, do they ship complete or is some assembly required, I guess that question also asks if they are fully welded, or bolt together for easier shipping?

yeah, saw these racks while back.. the only thing i don't dig is that they don't offer gutter mounts? Your only option is to bolt them to a Yakima or Thule application load bar? Which would possibly mean your rack is only as strong as the load bars you're using.

Those are pretty cool, but the prices quoted look like they should be the other way around. Just a heads up in case they are backwards....


:oops: ???????

Thanks Round Out, I was just so excited that we had them in stock !!

Prices have been changed.

The racks are welded, they come with the attachment hardware and the wind spoiler. I'm not a huge fan of the bolt together racks as they have a tendency to vibrate loose.

Weights and shipping dimensions:

Mega Mule:
Shipping weight: 46#
Rack & Hardware wt: 37#
Shipping dimensions: 65x50x8

Mule:
Shipping weight: 38#
Rack & Hardware wt: 29#
Shipping dimensions: 40x50x8

do you have any pics of the metal mounts for lights that go on the rack or for the mega mule light wiring harness?

We mounted one of the racks on Simon's Series 80, looks as sweet on a vehicle as it does on a trailer. Enjoy the pictures.

More pictures as http://www.atreport.com/newacc.html at the bottom of the page.

At those prices, I can't justify building my own.

these look great. I just bought a m416 trailer and plan to make a lid like others on the site. Will the Mule fit nicely in terms of dimensions? Any way to then adapt the rack to also carry kayaks (I have yakima)?

Lastly, how do you order? Wasn't clear to me from your website.

Many thanks!

Its been a while since I have seen a M416 in person, But im pretty sure even the larger one would fit nicely. The racks are round tubing so there may be a good chance you could fit your Yakima Kayak holders to the Baja Rack.

To order or ask more questions you can reach them at 1-877-661-8097 or email them at info@adventuretrailers.com. Mario or Martyn will be happy to assist you.
For the cost of these racks they are very well made and light also.
Hope this helps.:safari-rig:

With the craziness of the holidays I've only now managed to get pictures and new info for posting.

Cobra69, attached are the brackets for attaching the lights, pictures of the wiring harness are on the atreport web site.

Baja Racks has also come out with a new Hi-Lift bracket for carrying the jack on their rack.

http://www.atreport.com/newacc.html has been updated with pictures of all the Baja Rack accessories.

Do they offer any sort of bracket that would allow the rack to be nounted directly to a 1 3/4" roll cage? The reason I'm asking is that my FJ40 no longer has a top, ever.

Not that I know of. But it doesn't sound like something that would be too hard to achieve. 4 U bolts should take care of it.

The BajaRack mounting bracket will fit on your 1 3/4" roll cage tubing without a problem. Here's a picture of it on a piece of 2".

My Baja Rack arrived yesterday. Even in the box it looked so cool that my wife emailed to say the Fedex guy was jealous! Unpacked it last night and have to agree with him.

Will post pics to a post I'll start on the m416 build as soon as I get rolling.

Thanks again, Mario and Martyn, for your help!

I installed one on a factory taco rack last week. I really haven't had anything on it yet but it looks sweet! I will get some pics up soon. The PC took a dump a couple weeks ago and I lost a lot.

I met Sergio and looked at his racks in San Diego earlier this year. They are nice looking and seem to be well built. Best thing is that they are not heavy.
