  • Yeah that was my initial thought. The base is different, but the rest is similar.

    I am not, and have been trying to steer away from the most of the ones I listed, and the Yakima as well. Thule seems like the play if I was to focus on only the name brands. I believe Swagman is from BC as well, but they seem to not hold up long.

    Those look damn good, way out of my price range unfortunately. I also drive a sedan so those vertical racks would be like a mast on the back haha.







  • Exactly this. I recently had my clothes washer break. Spent days researching the problem, taking the thing apart, figuring out the cause was the spindle on the back of the drum having a crack and eventually breaking. I eventually found a replacement part which had a slightly different part number but research showed it should be compatible. $400 for the part. $130 shipping, plus tax came out to just shy of $600. 2 week lead time to get the part, and no certainty I’d be able to put it all back together. Professional appliance repair wouldn’t have made financial sense either, I called around.

    I ended up ordering a new one for $800 all in, saving many headaches. Had it two days later and was able to catch up on laundry.
