Not open for further replies.
I'd have to get the dimensions. Do you want the dimensions of the inside of the rack or just dimensions on the tray?

Also to clarify the current batch will close tonight. There will be another batch up once I get word that production has started.
 
Weather got better so i snapped some pics.......Looks great from a distance. Up close you can see the different in the gaps from the passenger side and driver side. The gap on the passenger side front as well. The cuts and angles all could of been better. Once again I'm still for the most part happy I'm jus very anal about things being perfect and up close it does bother me. Once again thanks [MENTION=109477]Rorck[/MENTION] for all the help :hail:

I am curious about the interior deminsions of the basket, I want to see if my pelican cases will fit inside.
I'm down for the next batch, just don't want to jump the gun tonight and be stuck with my gobi.

Looks great!

The L brackets have room for adjustments so you can elevate the rack a bit or drop one of the sides.
 
Slotting the holes a little in each direction on the side rails helps a whole lot on trying to get it to be uniform side to side.

Got mine on tonight. Not terribly difficult but I did have to start with everything loose and tighten at the end.
I like it.

Rorck,

Can't tell from the pics, but would straps/rope be able to go through the side "vents". There are 6 on each side of the rack.

Thanks,

Ken
 
[MENTION=109477]Rorck[/MENTION] any chance I can get in on the current batch?

I want to buy one.
In the process of getting my gobi sold.

2 questions.
1. Will you be ordering another batch.
2.what are the interior deminsions of the basket?

Curious as I am considering a roof rack, why are you getting rid of the gobi for this? Thanks.

I don't know the answer, but until he gives it to you, here are my guesses based on my thought process when I gave up buying a Gobi in favor of the ET:

1.) Lower profile.
2.) Looks about twice as awesome.
3.) Cost. (yes, he can sell his used Gobi, buy a new ET, and put some money in his pocket).

Those are also the reasons I'm leaning towards the ET but I am not very handy to fab custom mounts for any accessories. I have been on the fence for 2 batches now but as I see more posts and pics reviewing the ET rack I think I'm in on the next batch. Thanks for your input.
 
Ok, thanks for the tips. I have it laid out now. Should get it installed tomorrow.
Going fishing today!
I like the way it looks, but the finish on some spots is kind of rough. Not all of the slots are even and a couple of the holes on the L braces extend into the bend.
I think it will look nice once installed, but they do need to pick up on the QA/QC.

He nailed all three of those guess on the head.

This. Ecotechne, the mounting brackets are one of the most important parts on the rack. Take your time in getting them right. Good quality control could be the difference in your business taking off, or closing it's doors. You have a good product here, now make it great.
