Thule rack

BAJA TESTED, FAILED Thule Truck Rack. Three years old, tired, busted almost uesless. ABUSED, OVERLOADED, FAILED.

But to be fair it stood up well until it went off road in BAJA carying the weight of 3 yaks. Not designed for over 500 lbs, swaying down Baja dirt roads. I just asked too much from it.

So I an considering the Harbor Frieght 800lb Rack. Being a bolt together it should repairable, weldable, and stronger in the joints. Any input would be appreciated. Any rack is ok on our streets but Baja is different. A pot hole at 55-60 with a loaded rack is tempting fate. stronger is better. Thanks guy's.
