[quote=bassboyc;30984]Thule Xsporter Racks come off pretty quick if you need to do so. 5-10 minutes max. And they are secure.

CJ: I do like these racks however, one of the reasons that I returned these racks before using them was due to the racks coming off in 5-10 minutes. I know you meant "secure" as in how they hold things but I was a bit nervous shelling out $600 bucks for nice looking racks like that and knowing someone could jump in my bed and probably be off with them in less than 5 min. Funny how they have locks so you can't lift the cross rails out when they don't come with some type of security lock for the attachments to the truck bed. Simple socket wrench and they are gone.
