Great video! Thanks for supporting!

@kenilykustoms 2 года назад

Happy to provide honest reviews on good products. Thanks for watching!

@Ruffian18T Год назад

I purchased this unit based upon your review and agree that it gived the most bang for the buck. Easy to install and use. Thank you for taking the anxiety out of making this purchase.

@kenilykustoms Год назад

I am really glad the video helped you. Thanks for watching and have a Merry Christmas and safe New Year!

Quadratec sells the same carrier under the name Tactik currently on sale for $161.70.

@sandylangan6086 3 месяца назад

I would also like some hooks or loops to secure items inside from sliding around if you are not traveling with a full load

@sisyphus883 Год назад

I had difficulties with this thing the first time I tried it. I had it all installed looking good, and then I propped up the lid, leaving the locks on the other side engaged. The crossbars that hold it up where in place, but instead of it holding in the wind. The wind took the top off completely. I can see how it's supposed to work, but it was only a small Breeze that made it fly off. Even when you tried to shake it in the video, it started to pop off. It was also extremely loud going down the road. At least the customer service was good because I was able to get a refund without having to pay for the return cost, which was a bit extreme. I would definitely recommend paying a bit extra to get the better brand.

Hi! Great review. Any notice of water intrusion? Thanks for your time. Ole Dave,, "Deep Woods", TN (Montgomery County) 🐩Little Lucy Lou

@kenilykustoms 9 месяцев назад

No water intrusion so far. I have used it a bunch without issue. Thanks for watching!!

@EduardoHerrera-o7k 3 месяца назад

That was actually my concern about Road noise I heard other experience with other ones that rooftop cargoes just make too much noise, especially on highways. But you said nothing on the jegs one right

@kenilykustoms 3 месяца назад

Under normal conditions I can't hear a difference. When it rains, I get a kind of hum sound. Have used this a bunch and still very happy with it!

@FiveStarPicks500 Год назад

I was waiting to find such a presentation, the idea of going with a car in which I can have additional space delights me. Thanks for the presentation,

Super helpful video! Thank you, well done and very clear. I bought this and used your video to put mine on. 😊

@kenilykustoms Год назад

I am glad it helped. Thanks for watching!!

@Wanderlustertoo Год назад

Thanks for the review! Did you have any problems with water (while driving) getting inside at any time you used it? Thank you in advance!

@kenilykustoms Год назад

Never had a drop of water get inside. We have drove through all types of rain, sleet and snow and it has held up excellent! Thanks for watching.

@Wanderlustertoo Год назад

@@kenilykustoms thank you!

@Marsaci Год назад

Extremely helpful. Gonna slap this sob on my Subaru Impreza Sedan 😂 Probably going to have to drill holes because my crossbars are not adjustable but seeing it is designed for that makes me feel better.

@kenilykustoms Год назад

Glad it helped

@ThrillaPark 2 месяца назад

Is it loud - wind noise - when on freeway?

@kenilykustoms 2 месяца назад

No wind noise but I do get some noise when its raining. To be expected.

@robinfiddler1 5 месяцев назад

how do I know how to center the carrier on the roof?. Not sure if it should be closer to front or back. i have a sun roof on a rav4.

@kenilykustoms 5 месяцев назад

We have a sunroof on the Lincoln and the cross bars we have allow enough clearance for it to operate. As far as centering it I just stood back and used my trusty eyeball. Thanks for watching!!!

@robinfiddler1 5 месяцев назад

Should it be close to the front or back of the car for balance

@robinfiddler1 5 месяцев назад

you mean you centered it from front to back

@mikemorales6688 4 месяца назад

great video, and thanks for taking the time to review it for us people looking for a cargo box thats not to expensive. what size did you purchase? i have a rav4 prime 2023. taking a12 hour road trip. found your video really helpful

@kenilykustoms 4 месяца назад

Glad it was helpful. Thanks for watching!!

@elahorayahasantewaa7144 Год назад

Are cross bars necessary, for this brand, if your vehicle comes with manufactured rails? I am wanting at least long enough to put 6ft wire wracks in a carrier that would fit on top a Mercedes GLK Class small SUV type vehicle???

@kenilykustoms Год назад

Yes, you do need cross bars for this unit.

@dansouthcomb5439 10 месяцев назад

Great video. Thank you very much. One question which I don't think was covered in the review. Have you had any issues with leaks while traveling in rain storms?

@kenilykustoms 10 месяцев назад

No leaks at all. Thanks for watching!!

@ZGogetaSs4 Год назад

What crossbars did you have? My car also have the flushed rails and it's been kinda hard finding good roof rails. (Cross bars) Thanks!

@kenilykustoms Год назад

I bought Brightlines cross bars off of Amazon. They are $169 for the silver ones and $199 for black. I have had them for a few years now with no issues.

@socalangler951 Год назад

Great review on this cargo carrier! I appreciate your opinions and how you describe its simplicity. Did it include tie down straps inside to secure items during travel? I did not see them. The comparison in prices.....compared to the prices you described a year ago....today the Jegs price is up by $30 and the Thule is up by $200!! Although it lacks the bells and whistles of the more expensive units.....simplicity and durability always win hands down for me! BTW....Love the Richie Norton quote...whoever he is! Thanks!

@kenilykustoms Год назад

I did not get straps inside of mine either. Glad you like the unit and the video. Thanks for watching!!

@alphonse-leanderramos8724 Год назад

Just bought one. Can’t wait to use it. I can’t believe how much those Yakima and Thule’s cost for what they are ($700-800). These Jegs are like 1/3 of the price.

@kenilykustoms Год назад

Yep they are an awesome value!! Thanks for watching.

@scottoneill8416 Год назад

Great review! Thank you. Trying to figure out if this will hold two sets of golf clubs side by side and a few suit cases. We've got the same setup with the dog in the back of our Highlander. I've used the big Thule and Yakima before with no issues. But they are longer.

@kenilykustoms Год назад

I have not tried golf clubs. I think they would fit, but not sure. Best of luck and thanks for watching!

@ScottKitchner-nz6bp 7 месяцев назад

What can you fit in there as far as suitcases go? Trying to decide if it's large enough for what I need to carry.

@kenilykustoms 7 месяцев назад

We have one of those suitcase sets with the carry-on size, a large suitcase and an extra large suitcase. We can fit all three in the carrier with plenty of room for other stuff. The extra large suitcase we have is big enough for my wife and I to pack for a week. It is very big. Hope this helps. Thanks for watching!!

@Xav3rageJoeX Год назад

Are you from Wisconsin or Minnesota? Your accent definitely sounds like it

@kenilykustoms Год назад

Good call. I am from Wisconsin, although living down in Tennessee I am often accused of being from Canada. I just tell them close enough...lol Thanks for watching!!

@gadget1473 Год назад

Great video. Thanks very much. I plan to order one today . USA made is a plus . I plan to paint top to match vehicle and correctly mount USA decal.

@kenilykustoms Год назад

So glad it helped. I hope it works out for you. We still love ours. Thanks for watching!!

@maaike3259 Год назад

Thanks for the video! It was very helpful. We’re looking for a hard shell cargo carrier for my RAV4. We plan to drive from Florida to Wyoming/Montana this summer and need to stash our camping gear, at least as much of it as we can! Have you had any issues with the locks? I’ve read some reviews on Amazon that people said the locks didn’t hold up and had to drill additional holes to add extra locks. For the price compared to Thule and Yakima it’s a no brainer.

@kenilykustoms Год назад

Glad it was helpful. We have had zero issues with it so far. We only use it a few times per year but when we need it, we are sure glad we have it. Gives us so much more room to bring luggage and gifts and still ride in comfort in the car with the dog... Thanks for watching!!

@ChefDuane 10 месяцев назад

Heat the stickers up with a heat gun or hair dryer and take them off. Then put on what you want.

@kenilykustoms 9 месяцев назад

I just pealed them off and cleaned it up. Looks good!!

@HomeSkillit Год назад

I dont think it's overly critical about the stickers. I've been looking at the cargo carrier and I'm going to pull the trigger and purchase it. Hopefully Jegs took the sticker issue to heart.

@kenilykustoms Год назад

I hope it works out for you. We still love and use ours quite a bit.

@oldguy5458 2 года назад

Does it affect fuel consumption ? If so how much ?Best Regards

@kenilykustoms 2 года назад

If it did it was minor and not noticeable. I didn't actually check it, but we didn't have to make any extra fuel stops on our trips. Hope this helps. Thanks for watching!

@TheJakobLott Год назад

Is it possible to mount where you can still use/see out the sunroof?

@kenilykustoms Год назад

It will depend on your vehicle setup. You might be able to slide it back enough to see out the front. Because it stands off the roof and it is narrower than our sunroof, we can still see out and get lots of light in. It is obviously an obstructed view, but we can see out. With our crossbar height, it also allows us to open the sunroof. Be careful when testing yours to make sure you have clearance first. Thanks for watching!!

@ryanm2084 2 года назад

It's actually pronounced "tool-ee". took me a while to discover that

@kenilykustoms 2 года назад

Thanks, I knew I was butchering it...lol. Thanks for watching!!

@tedek305 2 года назад

Great video! I have the same model. Did you have to use a tie down strap to make it more secure? I've seen others do it.

@kenilykustoms 2 года назад

No, I don't see a need for it. I think between the locks and the front clasp it is plenty secure. Thanks for watching!!

@Me4Evidence Год назад

This was very helpful. Thank you. I ordered the same one.

@kenilykustoms Год назад

@smjastrzebski 2 года назад

The product on your car is different than the product in your link

@kenilykustoms 2 года назад

I just double checked the link and it should be correct. It takes me to the one I ordered. If you are having trouble with the link just type in Jegs Rooftop Carrier in Amazon and you should be able to find it. I bought the 18cuft model. Hope this helps! Thanks for watching.

@sigwill51 2 года назад

Did your equipment stay completely dry in the carrier?

@kenilykustoms 2 года назад

Yes, 100%, not a drop of water inside. Very happy with it.

@Unchartedjourney Год назад

You are totally right about the stickers I removed all stickers but the flag sticker.

@kenilykustoms Год назад

Hope it still worked out for you. I have used it a bunch now and really like it more and more. Gives the dog much more room in the car on road trips...lol

@Unchartedjourney Год назад

@@kenilykustoms it's been a few months now I mainly bought it because of my dog as well it's pretty good value for the price I use 190 lb load capacity cross bars.

@fernandezaguilar3229 Год назад

do you remove the cross bars after every use? i read you're suppose to.

@kenilykustoms Год назад

I have not removed them since the day I installed them. I always double check tightness when putting the carrier on, but that's it. I am not sure why you need to remove them. We use them for our kayaks too when not using the carrier.

@mikimiki195 Год назад

Can you fit four carryon luggage bags 💼

Yes, absolutely. It will fit your checked luggage as well. It is a nice size. Thanks for watching!
