Works very well for plastic totes. You tie down with bungies or a net.



by:

Fit my 02 tundra roof perfectly assembly was easy.



by:

A well built and sturdy safari rack, easy to follow instructions and video.



by:

Awesome work it hard.



by:

The Safari Rack appears to be a quality item. I used the fit guide on the manufacturer website and it showed the SP4560 with the included S48 Crossbars as being the correct roof rack for my vehicle. The reason I give it 2 stars is because the front crossbar is too short for my factory roof rails since the distance between the rails is wider toward the front of the vehicle making installation impossible without a longer crossbar.



by:

The Rooftop Cargo Basket is great. it went together very easey.
Looks great and works great.
Erika W. did a great job and was very knowledgable, and up to the task,
and gave me updates.
Thanks,

I've had this rack on my 1995 Grand Cherokee and it's still great. Paint has finally started peeling but count the years to 2018 and it's been at 6000 feet in sun all that time! These roof racks by Surco are the impossible combination; light and sturdy.
This longer version is going on my 4x4 full size expedition Van.
The box arrived quickly, and it's a precision fit together.
However, like all roof rack baskets, they show a set of floor slats that are not part of the kit and no disclaimer about it. Just because the others are doing that sort of misleading marketing doesn't mean they have to.

I would like more floor options, like a chain link fence which could be rolled for easy shipping or expanded metal.
I would also like color options, I need this one in white, so I'll have to paint it.

etrailer got right on this order and it arrived earlier than I expected.



by:

Works great, sits low is almost as wide as my renegade, doesn't weigh much but is plenty sturdy, doesn't make an unreasonable amount of wind noise and make a great mount for off-road lights take the time to read and measure to install it correctly and it sits stable hasn't moved in close to 10,000 miles after the initial install and tightening, also a great way to move tough bulky items out of a limited interior compartment, like highlight Jack's and other weather proof off-road essentials



by:

I bought this for a trip we were doing last summer. I was originally going to go with a more Custom built rack but the wait was too long.

I had a good time building this and fitting it to our Hummer H3. It worked great for freeing up space for the family. We spent a week out on the road with no issues. It is a little taller than I was originally looking for but the Safari style rask is very easy to use and pack. I have had it mounted for a year now and had no issues.



by:

This went together easily with two people working on it. The gaps in the frame make it a bit tricky to load certain items but we are usually using a large cargo bag inside this. The gap size is a trade-off with affordable price. It's been sturdy. We have left it installed on our 2007 Toyota Highlander since we got it about 6 months ago.



by:

While I didn’t receive all the parts with my order, David and Daniel we excellent and quick to assist me. I received my missing parts and all is great with the rack I purchased. Thank you both!!!



by:

Outstanding quality and fit.



by:

Critical pieces missing that were supposed to be in the package, couldn't mount for the road trip we needed roof rack for. Bad customer service, said they would email me with info regarding missing parts and they did not.



by:

Fit my 2017 jeep renegade sport perfect ly.



by:

I have had this rack on my Ford Excursion for a full year now. I go whitewater kayaking about every weekend and they fit in the rack very nicely. I bought a 4'x8' sheet of expanded steel mesh for a floor, cut it to length, painted it with truck bed liner, and fastened it to the cross bars with sheet metal screws so I wouldn't have to worry about balancing on the cross bars while loading and tying down gear.
This summer we went to from TN to CO with 3 boats stuffed full of gear on top, and it handled them with ease.
Get the folding ladder to make loading and unloading a breeze!



by:

Awesome product. Assembly was straightforward but did take a bit of time. Installation and removal of the rack are a breeze. Very happy with the service from etrailer.com. Incredible amount of product information on the site that allowed me to make an informed decision, and shipping was fast and free.



by:

Excellent choice, super dynamic for its size. Owned it for a year now. I’ve put it on two cars, and I’ve used it several times. It’s gotten our family to and from the campsite and moving a few times. If wanted during the seasons, you can easily take it off by using the available key.



by:

Website did not clearly indicate that factory rail clamps ARE NOT included had to order separate even though they are ShoWN on pictures. Disappointed



by:


Thank you. I have had the product
installed and I must say the wind noise it creates is very shrill and causes my ears to ring long after I have stopped driving. Is there a wind deflector for this product ? ??????



by:

I chose this rack to mount on my PUTCO venture bed rack because its the same exact size as the bed of my 2019 Ranger I used Yakima mounts for quick on and off. Couldnt be happier and love the look



by:

Premium price, Premium quality. Fits my car perfect; looks nice. I would recommend buying this and not buying a cheap one. My loving dog ate one of the trim pieces right before I installed it…



by:

Just opened it up and it's missing parts. Was planning to install tomorrow. Please help! It's missing the 3, long, base bars that support the whole thing. Someone please call me asap to see if we can get those parts shipped overnight. Time is of the essence. Thank you.



by:

Great product.



by:

Right Rack, fair price, perfect fit, one hour to install



by:

Looks good. Assembly instructions were lacking. One incorrect word made it more confusing.

  • What Are the Surco SPS4550 Safari Roof Basket Interior Dimensions
    I was able to find out from Surco that the retaining bars on the # SPS4550 are only 3/4" thick, so you'd lose roughtly 1-1/2" wide and in length, bringing the total interior dimensions down to 48-1/2" long x 43-1/2" wide. It's going to be a tight fit, but I think you'll be able to make it work.

  • How Does Surco Safari 5.0 Mount to Side Rails of 2000 Chevy Blazer
    For the side rails of your 2000 Chevy Blazer you'd need the adapter kit part # SP1101 to install the Surco Safari Rack 5.0 Rooftop Cargo Basket # SPS4550 and you'd be set.

  • Surco Safari Rack 5.0 Rooftop Cargo Baskets For a 1999 Chevrolet Tahoe
    You will want to choose a Surco Safari Rack 5.0 Rooftop Cargo Basket based on how much available roof line you are wanting to cover and what size gear you need to carry on your 1999 Chevy Tahoe. Since your Tahoe was made in a 2-door and a 4-door version you may be limited on length as well. 50" Long X 45" Wide # SPS4550 60" Long X 45" Wide # SPS4560 50" Long X 50" Wide # S5050 60" Long X 50" Wide # SPS5060 72" Long X 50" Wide # S5072 84" Long X 50" Wide # SU87VR The Clamp-On Adapters...

  • Rooftop Basket For 2015 GMC 3500 HD Crew Cab With Thule Wing Evo bars
    I do have a solution for your. While the Surco Safari Rack 5.0 Rooftop Cargo Basket for Factory Rails - 84" Long x 50" Wide # SPS5084-1101 will not fit the Thule Wingbar Evo bars it will work with Thule square bars like the Thule SquareBar Crossbars # TH712500 using # TH710501 and # TH145105 with the Surco adapter kit # SPT400. Using the 84" basket will require 4 sets of crossbars and would need to extend over a camper shell or other supports due ot length of this basket. The 50" version...

  • Solution for Needing Longer Version of Surco Safari Roof Basket
    We have the 84 inch long version of the Surco Safari part # SPS5084 but we don't have a way to convert your shorter 50 inch Safari to the longer version. Only solution we have would be to go with the larger basket.

  • What is the Weight Capacity for a Surco Safari Roof Mount Cargo Basket
    Surco does not list a capacity for the Safari baskets such as # SPS4550 because it exceeds the capacity of most vehicle roofs/rails. But my contact over at Surco said the capacity is 250 pounds evenly distributed. The limiting factor would likely be the capacity of the vehicle roof/rails so you would need to consult the vehicle owners manual and/or vehicle manufacturer for the capacities.

  • Can Surco Safari Roof Basket Fit on 2018 Jeep Cherokee with Roof Rack
    Thanks for the picture of your 2018 Jeep Cherokee. So the Surco Safari cargo baskets are designed to attach to raised side rails or Yakima round crossbars or Thule square crossbars. I can't quite make out what type of rails you have on the roof of your 2018 Jeep Cherokee but if the rails that run front to back are raised up (can put your hand under them) you can install a Surco Safari part # SPS4550 with the adapter kit part # SP1101.

  • Surco Safari Roof Mount Cargo Basket For a 1993 Jeep Cherokee Sport
    Surco Safari basket # SPS4550-Y400 is designed to fit on Yakima crossbars. The Yakima crossbars are round and 1-1/8 inches in diameter. If these matches the bars on your Jeep then it will fit. There is a special adapter indicated for the 1993 Jeep Cherokee factory side rails from Surco but we do not currently carry it. But I am having it added to our site, J100, and it should be available to order within 48 hours. You would then order the basket by itself, SPS4550, and then the mount kit. If...

  • Surco Safari Rack 5.0 Rooftop Cargo Basket Fit on 2014 Honda Pilot With Roof Rails
    I checked directly with Surco for you, and while we do have a Surco Safari rooftop cargo basket for your 2014 Honda Pilot with roof rails, it is a different one than the 50" x 45" # SPS4550 you asked about. I verified with Surco that the correct cargo basket for your '14 Pilot is the following: - Surco Safari Rack 5.0 Rooftop Cargo Basket for Factory Rails # SPS5060-1101 This is a larger, 60" x 50" cargo basket, and does come with the correct adapters for your Pilot, so you don't need...
