Review: Apex Side Rail Mounted Aluminum Roof Cross Bars: The Ultimate Match for my XTerra - I recently purchased the Apex Side Rail Mounted Aluminum Roof Cross Bars for my Xterra to use with the JEGS Rooftop Cargo Carrier, and I must say, they have exceeded my expectations. These cross bars truly simplify getting my carrier on my Xterra, traveling and carrying extra gear on the roof of my car. Installation was a breeze thanks to the universal design that fits seamlessly with side rails up to 50 inches. The package came with clear and concise instructions, making the process quick and hassle-free. The sturdy aluminum construction not only provides durability but also gives them a sleek and modern look. One of the standout features of these cross bars is their versatility. They easily accommodate various accessories such as cargo baskets, roof boxes, bike racks, and kayak carriers. This flexibility allows me to customize my setup based on my specific needs, whether I'm heading out on a camping trip, going skiing, or simply transporting oversized items. In terms of performance, the Apex Side Rail Mounted Cross Bars provide a secure and stable platform for my gear. I've tested them on long highway drives and rough terrain, and they have held up remarkably well. Even at high speeds, there is minimal wind noise and no noticeable drag, which is impressive. Additionally, the integrated locking mechanism gives me peace of mind knowing that my belongings are safe and secure while I'm away from my vehicle. The added security is especially valuable when parking in public areas or when leaving the car unattended for an extended period. Another aspect worth mentioning is the cross bars' lightweight design. They add minimal weight to the vehicle, ensuring there is no adverse impact on fuel efficiency. Plus, they are easy to remove and store when not in use, which is convenient and saves space. Overall, I highly recommend the Apex Side Rail Mounted Aluminum Roof Cross Bars to anyone in need of a reliable and versatile solution for carrying extra gear.

Don't hesitate to give them a try—you won't be disappointed!
Review: -The bars felt sturdy upon taking the out of the package - Vehicle: 2005 Jeep Liberty Sport (3.7l V6) I purchased this product to fit a Jeep Liberty roof rack. We purchased a Yakima Big Stack Kayak Carrier (http://www.desertcart.com/Yakima-BigStack-Rooftop-Canoe-Surfboard/dp/B0012SFGW6/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1406410918&sr=8-1&keywords=yakima+big+stack) and also a double wide hard box cargo carrier. So far, we have driven about 4000 miles with these cross bars and they have worked flawlessly (we moved from Anchorage to Tacoma at about 2600 miles, then went on a honeymoon road trip from Tacoma to south central California and back). Here are my thoughts: Pros: -The bars felt sturdy upon taking the out of the package. The bars' sliding action feels snug and well designed. -The locking mechanism that keeps these bars from being stolen seems to do the trick. I am not sure how easy it would to simply break the locking mechanism off and take the bars, but so far we have had no issues with this. -The whirring, whistling noise when driving at speed is not as bad as I thought it would be. -These bars supported two 50 pound kayaks and some gear on a trip down and back up the west coast. -The ends of the crossbars that squeeze to grip onto your length-wise sport bars seem to grip very tightly. Careful not to over-tighten. The grip feels good and firm and does not seem to shift during transport. Cons: -The whirring, whistling noise. The noise these bars make at speed is determined a lot by what they are carrying. For example, our two kayaks were heavy enough to flex the bars a bit (but not to the point there was any damage or risk of damage to the product). However, the weight did make a concave shaped gap which made the whistling louder than with our hard box cargo carrier. Still, though, it wasn't loud enough to annoy or distract us, especially when chatting or listening to music. -The spinning/locking knob that tightens the product as well as locks them to prevent theft seems like it could be circumvented with a hammer or a crow bar. Then again, I am not sure how the mechanism works to the extent that I can say that a hammer COULD circumvent the locks. Overall: I was able to find these for $98 bucks along with a close-out sale on a hard box cargo carrier for $40 at Home Depot. $140 for the setup and it has lasted us literally 4k miles within the last 6 weeks. Very good product, albeit not perfect. My only suggestion is, if they can, try to find a way to prevent flex in the bars. With our hard-box cargo carrier, there was literally no flex in the product because the cargo box was centered and distributed evenly among both cross bars. However, our kayaks (100 pounds together) are carried only along one side of the vehicle (in our case, the driver side). This caused the bars to flex a little bit when our pull-straps were wrenched firm to hold the kayaks in place. This was NOT a problem and was not alarming at all. But a little more firmness in the bars couldn't hurt. Highly recommend this product. Very good, solidly built, and AFFORDABLE! A+

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Worked well for kayak road trip - 2011 Explorer
*by N***E on August 8, 2018*

I bought these cargo bars to transport a kayak on my 2011 Ford Explorer. Installation of the bars was simple with no tools needed, took me less than 15 minutes without any assistance. If you are short or not very strong you may need a ladder and/or helper. I installed separately purchased kayak holders on the bars, and then secured a 30-pound kayak on top of those (straps came with the kayak holders). Everything felt strong and secure. Per the instructions that came with the Apex cargo bars, I then ran a strap from the front of the kayak to attach to vehicle frame under front bumper, and another strap from back of kayak to rear hitch of vehicle. Reading some of the "disaster" reviews I wonder if the people followed this instruction? I drove 70 mph on highways for 4 hours each way on this trip. I stopped once during the trip to re-tighten straps as they naturally stretch a little under load. Everything stayed nice and secure, the bars never moved a bit. There was some wind noise from the bars, but not loud enough to bother us. We were able to carry on conversation in the car, listen to music, etc. It was basically like mild white noise from having a fan in the room. The bars' locking mechanism was a little tricky to figure out how to turn the keys correctly, but not terrible. They do work to secure the bars although a determined thief would be able to just break the plastic I would imagine. In conclusion, these bars were good value for the price. If I did a lot of trips with roof cargo, or if I wanted to leave them on permanently I would probably invest in Thule or Yakima. But for a "few times a year" use I am very happy with them.
