Is that such a bad thing?;)


oh, come on now, dont jump on the Dweb haters bandwagon.
people call it like they see it, the quality of those racks were terrible, and their customer service was even worse.

brown church racks (iMO) look awkward at best on a disco,
hannibals look like plumbers racks, SD racks are the only way to go.
just look around, they pop up for sale all the time.
i know of 2 that sold on dweb in the past week.

proud owner of an SD low rack :D

I'm not on any wagon and I have just made a few observations, I said hostiles the opposite of friendlies (EP) and just left it at that, no bashing, not my style. I go over there and would not suggest people to stay away from it, just didn't fit me as well as I thought, IMO.

I agree with you on SD but a Hannibal with sides looks nice IMO and I'm sure it is ten times as strong as the SD, which is a factor for me, not just cool looks, I want to know it will stand up to some wieght. There is just something utilitarian looking about the Hannibal, which is the way the original racks looked, (Overland 1 vid?).

Do you have dual sun's? Are you okay with not operating them? Just curious if you miss them if you have them??

Anyway thanks for your input!

Why because of his product not being good or dweb hostiles?
I think he didn't agree with the general opinion of his product and service.

I agree Marc, SD are the best. If you're doing rooftop tents though, the Hannibal( plain and ugly as it is) is a good choice. :beer:

One day I'll be a proud SD owner too!

My whole issue was if he didn't fair well on dweb because he did not get along with the other guys or he became a wise~ass and tried to bully everyone, or if it was purely based on his products/customer service being inferrior to others on the market.

I feel I got the answers I was looking for so we certainly do not need to drive this into the ground, nor did I want to open a thread that would lend itself to bashing another forum. IMO if you find a forum you like then stay, if you find one you do not like just leave, there is plenty of drama in life to create more on the web.

So back to improvements...

desertoutpost,

my comment was directed towards Andrew (see quote in my comment), not anything you said. i was ribbing him not u. He's been on Dweb and D90 for a long time and was just stirring the pot.

i dont have sunroofs on my disco so the low rack was the obvious choice for me (one less thing to break :D )
Mongo on dweb is also jumping into the rack making business, you may want to contact him. he's in AZ, shoot him a PM on DWEB.
