Absolutely! I've got their Tow Link, Bike Rack, Cargo Carrier. It gets noticed everywhere I go, and people love to watch how easy it is to install and remove the various attachments.

I think this is the way I am going to go.....a bit pricey but looks the best and much easier to use for a final product.

This was the most recent accessory I bought from them--and well I guess you could say it was the first since the new owners...

Scott I know you're very capable and don't need this DIY, but I'll reference it anyways.

All in all, it was pricey compared to other cargo systems, but it looks great, very flexible, and works so well that whenever I need to carry something that would require me to lower the back seats, I prefer to put on the cargo carrier, and leave the object/box outside.

Even to this day, I still get curious onlookers who see the ports and ask what they are for.

I noticed that Minifini also sells rubber caps to black them out if you want them less obtrusive. Others have just painted them as well. I haven't decided whether to black mine out or make them stand out more with red paint, lol.

Thanks Richard.....I had already bookmarked your DIY. Very well put together as usual.

And you have to go with the red. Maybe even have a couple of the little "BANG" flags to hang out of them.........
