I’ve been looking for a smaller more compact rack for my ’21 Bronco for some time.
Recently Broaddict premiered their version and I purchased it thru their website.

Packaging - The product came packaged very well, each component was individually bagged and fit into the boxing well

Condition - Everything arrived blemish freeFinish - All the metal and plastic parts were finished well with no mars, blemishes or scrapes.

Installation - I was a little wary since I have the Anderson Composites Roof that is built too Ford specs, But once I laid out the parts on the roof I could see that they were going to fit.

Step One - I laid out the four corner pieces and their parallel bars.I started the screws and left them loose to put the cross bars on and square them. Note- the Cross bars are not the same length, the longer goes up front. Once the bars were laid out I squared up the mounts and lined up all the screw holes. This probably would of gone quicker with two people but it was still a breeze.

Step Two - Once all four bars were square I tightened down the screws with the tools provided. Once they were tight I checked for any inconsistencies in the mounts, none were found.

Step Three - Using an 8mm ratchet I tighten up each of the 4 lock bars making sure they were square with the mount.

Step Four - Once the Lock bars were tightened I capped each of the mounts and screwed them down.

Conclusion - By myself this was a 60 minute job. Lots of up and down the ladder to square them. Two people, would of been a breeze. Once the mount was squared and assembled it’s about a 5 minute job to remove or put on. Quality is top notch, Customer Service is responsive, I give Broaddict and their roof rack 5 Stars!

I have definitely liked what I have seen from them so far!

It matches the look of the Factory Ford rack pretty close. Wish the ford rack had a half option. not a fan of the Factory Full (3/4 really) rack. It is just sitting in the garage taking up space.

Could you tell me about how high is it from the roof to the top of the rack. Thanks

About 4.25” on my roof.

I just purchased one of these and the mounting holes in the crossbars are drilled backwards so the non-aero side faces the wrong way. Sounds like others have experienced the same issue. Hopefully Broaddict sends new crossbars - waiting to hear back.
