    KUAT Racks - Cool

    Just bought a bike rack from this company when the rep was visiting my bike shop.

    He also has a line of racks. If I didn't have the Thule 240 on the vx, I would be looking at one of these. Pretty awesome rack.

    It seems to be the same. But with a closer look, it doesn't have the integrated cable lock and the connecting plates for the possible 21" extension are different. Maybe it's an early gen model?

    Aaahh, I see that now, you're right. I was just going by the listed MODEL #.

    By the way, I KNOW this was meant for us.... the model # from the manufacturer is.... "VX01" lol

    oo That be awesome if you can, (inserts cash into mr piggy bank) time to save.

    Would you by chance be able to get some pix mounted on the VX? We shouldn't need the 21" extension would we?

    Love the finish on that basket, if I was in the market it'd be on my list. But for that price I wonder if you couldn't just refinish a Yakima basket?

    I was researching roof baskets & came across this post. I really liked the styling so I searched on Craigslist...lo & behold the Vagabond X WITH the extender new & in the box 15 minutes away from my house. Paid $550 for it all. Apparently the guy selling it had bought it for his wife's Jeep but she wanted an enclosed Thule box so it was going to cost them to ship it back. Haven't had a chance to install it yet but I will post some pics once I do. Hoping it looks good w/ the extension.

    I went 'old school' & made my own. It cost me about $20 in parts.
