I got a Harbor Freight (HaulMaster) cargo carrier on sale for $40. This 500 pound capacity cargo rack is WAY cheaper than a lot of similar products out there. You never quite know what you're going to get with Harbor Freight equipment, but for forty bucks I couldn't resist giving it a shot.
In this video I do a full unboxing, assembly, demo, and review of this cargo carrier.

When hurricane laura wreck Louisiana, i purchased one of these in Arkansas, i had it loaded down to the max and more. Holding 12 containers of fuel all completely full. This held up great on a 17-hour drive from Ark to lakecharles louisiana

Have had this exact one attached DAILY to my Jeep for going on 7 years. Once a year ill hit it with a rattle can black paint to kill the rust. Use it all the time. Best $50 I ever spent.

Wow, that's a solid testimonial for the product. 7 years of daily use and it's holding strong!

Use a simple hitch clamp and the rattle goes away. As well virtually every single thing that goes into a receiver does the same thing. Hitch clamps are essential for things like this or bike racks or tow balls etc.

I have one I’ve used on vacations & a few jobs where everything doesn’t fit in the truck bed. Just be smart & don’t challenge the weight capacity--it’s a discount accessory. I’m happy with what I got for the money.

I've owned one for a year. Hooked to back of my FJ with it loaded down with bins full of tools strapped along with campung gear. Thing is a tank. Several road trips from Fla to Va with the same setup. Buy a anti rattle device.

The hitch clamps really cinch any accessory that you insert in the reciever tight. I use one on my small utility trailer to keep the noise and rattle down.

my last two pieces I could not get the holes to line up to add those last 2 top pieces. I tried taking it all apart and trying every angle.

Buy yourself a hitch stabilizer that bolts to the receiver hitch it will tighten that slack action up to where there's no bounce. I bought one for my hitch about a year ago with my little trailer and it's great
@GreatLakesPrepping
@GreatLakesPrepping 2 года назад
A good idea! Actually another company sent me a different cargo rack to review, and theirs came with a hitch stabilizer. Definitely an improvement.

Weld a small bead around all 4 sides of the receiver then grind with a flap disk until it fits snugly into the hitch. No more wiggles or rattles.

I bet that sounds like a simple proposition to somebody who knows anything about welding!

Home Depot has the 45 gal Husky tote that fits it. Its the ONLY tote that fits. All the rest are 1 to 2 inches too large. Funny how thats also the only tote they dont promote. btw 2023 rack price is $68. Still a great deal !

I just bought one of these today..Possible idiot question coming... is there some trick to getting the nuts to screw all the way on the bolts? I get to a point where there seems to be a blue ring stopper inside the nuts.
@GreatLakesPrepping
@GreatLakesPrepping 3 года назад
It's just a type of lock nut. If you have one wrench on the nut and one wrench on the bolt, you should be able to twist past that "stopper" with no problem. Once tight, that ring makes it very hard for the nut to loosen by itself over time.

@TheBangyourdead
@TheBangyourdead 9 месяцев назад
I believe this is a class 3 hitch and the rack is for a class 2 if I remember correctly. That would account for the noise.
@GreatLakesPrepping
@GreatLakesPrepping 9 месяцев назад
The hitch and receiver are the same size, officially (2 inches/Class 3). It's just that the fit isn't 100% snug, which is the case for pretty much any hitch receiver I've ever used. It just wiggles ever so slightly. I've since started using an anti-rattle clamp, and that's solved the problem.

You can get a locking hitch pin. I just advise not getting a super cheap one. Anyhow, they'll thwart the average thief.
