i've been working on a cheap option for a lightweight strong rack to mount on my congo cage...
(re-installed by the way. without the rubber pucks. makes all the difference in the world.)
lo and behold, i found myself at harbor frieght checking out their stuff. they have an alumnimum hitch mounted cargo rack for sale.
weight:20-30lbs
width:23"
length:49.5"
height:7.5"
capacity: 500lbs
well so far i've figured out some nice mounts to my congo cage, and have it mounted temporarily.
what i like, is that you have to assemble the top rail, so if you want the rack to lo-profile, you can just leave that part off. same goes for the reflectors, i simply didn't install them...
i'll probably just leave the front one assembled, as its the perfect size to fit 4 or five jerry cans and then go lo profile if i add two or three of the same carriers behind the first like this:
looking from the side:
full carrier__________ no rails_________no rails__________no rails
