GMC Yukon XL Rooftop Cargo Carriers

Installed an 84x55 Surco Safari rack on a Yukon XL. The rack itself assembles cleanly and quickly. The base rack seems like a great value for the price. Unfortunately, the accessories are way overpriced and thus the total cost of the rack as outfitted cost well over $1000. Too much for what it is. I opted against the light mounts as they were too expensive and after seeing the other mounts, I am glad I did it. A simple hole drilled through the bar and I had a perfect place to mount the lights. I am happy with the quality and look of the rack as well as the base price. It's too bad Surco decided to gouge the customers with the accessories making this rack unaffordable for many.

overall very satisfied with the carrier. It seems to be weather tight. Was concerned that I bought too small, but got 3 medium bags and a few other things in it. Like the way it locks. Pretty easy to assemble.

It's well built and seems up to the task. I have two concerns, though. 1. It's very heavy. I imagine it's steel ... there is no aluminum or lighter metals used here. 2. The wind guard is made of heavy-duty plastic and I can see this getting worn over time. I plan to spray this thing with matte clear coat before using.
