We do list on the product page that the adapters are sold separately as there are different adapters depending on the type of rack that you have.

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

I am very happy with how the cargo rack turned out. The shipping time was incredible fast too. The instructions were fairly straight forward for assembly as well.

Looks great on there, Emmett! Reminds me of when I was a kid and we had something like this installed our our family Land Cruiser! What are you carrying up there?

by:
We put this on a vehicle that we were driving to Alaska from the Midwest. It worked fine. Besides the spare tire, we put a bin of camping gear and a container of extra gas. Had no problem with it. Because of the width between the floor slats, we tie wrapped a wood 1x2 slat in the gap so nothing could fall through.

Michelle, Thanks for sharing! Sounds like this carrier was a great fit for your trip to Alaska. It's great hearing it handled your spare tire, camping gear and extra fuel without any trouble. Nice idea adding the 1x2 slat, too. Thanks again and we appreciate you choosing etrailer!

by:
Amazing product and not bad shipping time. The rack itself is very good quality and seems very durable and sits well on my car. I will say some of the directions were a little bit confusing but it was easy enough to figure out I had to modify it to fit to my car but it was easy to do that.
by:

I love it! I load it up a lot. It handles a lot of stuff.

by:
Just what I was looking for. Solid frame and easy to put together. Great
capacity with unlimited tie-down points. The roof rail adapters are the ticket for secure attacment to my Chevy Tahoe. Customer service was spot on and very helpful.
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

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.

Very happy with the roof rack, no issues with longevity.

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.

Has held up great carry alot.

This roof basket turned out be just what I needed. I ended up making my own roof rack for the top of my A.R.E. truck cap and the Surco Safari Basket dimensions were used to build it.

The Surco Safari Roof Basket has held up as I had hoped. We have two Pelican Storage boxes attached to it as well as our Actiontrax Recovery Boards. We also attached a couple of antennas to it GMRS and WeBoost. It is a great purchase.

@David We're glad it's working well for you!
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.

This is still working great for us. Its been sturdy.

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:
Outstanding quality and fit.

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

These guys are quick, efficient, helpful and all around awesome.
