Ecotechne racks in action?

[MalinoisRunner]

Got my ecotechne rack installed, and am wondering how other people have set theirs up. Do's and don'ts? what works for you?
I have 2 trays and 3 crossbars, and no idea how i should arrange. Looking for ideas with cargo boxes/rotopax/jerrycans/hilifts/tools/water/ ect.

In before the "Use the Search Feature" Committee shows up.

Your best bet for ideas is to read through the group buy thread.

and maybe a couple more here

You may find more in some build threads but at that point will have to use search to find out which ones. :tea:

I'd say replace all the hardware if you haven't already unless you like rust. Awesome Belgian!

Read em all not much info. I was more looking for input from some long term field use. A lot of guys have em, but not many pics of them loaded down.

Not much of an action shot, but here's mine. I run 3 bars flat (not flipped over like most for clearance). I have a tray but it's sat in the garage since I got it. This bohemuth takes my whole roof, so no room for anything else.

ran into the same issue when i ordered my Prinsu rack. I spent a day laying out my gear and doing a test run before the first time i used it. made a huge difference. We keep nothing mounted to the rack as the wife uses the car daily.It seems most buy the rack to post a couple pics on the Gram with their new and unused maxtrax, forever empty fuel can, and shiny new axe (why tho)...Or its guys that have them for the RTT.

mine looks like i hit up a damn garage sale when we use it for camping. lol. random shit strapped down to the roof.:doh::doh::doh:

Its Friday and I am fishing for information while avoiding work...

...curious if there are any pictures of the EcoTechne Ladder in action. I like all the mount points on it, and I love the unique design. Just curious if anyone has pics of it or reviews of it.
