Bombproof Rack System

Rating:*****

Control Tower is the best rack system I have had on any of my trucks. They make taking to rack on and off really easy. Important when gas prices are high. They are really secure, when you rotate the tab into place it pushs rods outward into the landing pad for a secure hold. Lock the tower and your off to the races! It used to take me more than a half hour to install or remove my rack. Now it takes less than five minutes. This system should get a gear award!

Great site!

Rating:*****

I was really happy with how quickly my items shipped (inlcuded Cross Bars, Control Towers, Landing Pads, MultiMounts and a pair of shoes) and the price; much cheaper than other sites and stores. My items arrived within seven days of placing my order!! Will check Backcountry.com FIRST in the future.

Best of all Yakima towers

Rating:*****
I have used just about all Yakima towers in the last twenty years or so, and these are the easiest to get on and off the car. They clamp to the crossbars and don't have to be adjusted every time you put them on and off.
