Anyone running an N-Fab roof rack? Are they worth the money? Looking at 575 shipped on Amazon. They only have 2 reviews, and they're both good.

if it is built the same way as their steps, i'd stay away from it.

Edit: although, you're in TX, so you may actually get to use their stuff.

Yeah, I actually pulled the trigger and ordered it from CarId. They sent me a confirmation email that it would be shipped on 7/17, so I called to cancel. Kind of glad I did. Figured I'd have buyers remorse once it came in. I'm just going to order some factory cross bars, I think it'll be sufficient for my needs.

Honest question- what's wrong with their steps? Have been eyeing them for awhile, just haven't pulled the trigger.

I like, and use mine. No complaints on them at all. Not sure why everyone dogs them all the time. To each their own I guess.

The salt from roads in snowy areas will supposedly eat them up.

Makes sense.

I ordered mine and arrived within 5 days from autoplicity.com. It came in a box smaller than anticipated. Haven't cracked it open yet. Tomorrow I plan to install and will let you know.

How much did the total come out to?

It's the same as the factory T-Force Rack.

they got eaten by salt after one season of driving with them here in Chicago.
that with their "special powdercoat".
Ended up having to cut and grind them off to trade the truck in.

$500 with free shipping.

I chose them because of the aluminum build. Was worried about weight and possible rust. Based on pictures, I like the small profile. However the box was smaller than expected. But looking at the manual via online, looks like there is some assembling. Hopefully it will hold up for several years.

Sweet. Update with pics tomorrow when you get to the install. I might pick one up, but from somewhere that'll ship within a day or two within ordering.

The coating on the n-fabs I had on my truck were garbage. Peeled off terribly.

Here you go. Install took about 2 hours. Lots of piecing together the parts. Definitely not a rack to stand on, but sufficient for camping, fishing, and beach gear.
