True Racks

My son is entering the Silver program for sailing in Ontario. We bought a Laser sailboat, but quickly realized we needed a way to transport it. Options — trailer or rack. Trailers are clumsy and you have to worry about tires, wiring, etc. I opted for a rack. Shopped around and found that there were not lots of standard rack options for a Nissan Frontier Crew Cab 4×4. I contacted True Racks and spoke with Serge (pronounced sergee). He quoted me a rack over the phone of about $ 500. I visited them on a Saturday and after measuring, he told me $ 600…which was fair… as Alex did these complex measurements after I Googled the dimensions of a Laser, plus adding rooms for spars on the side. We went with a rack over the back of the bed and 3 feet over the cab. They build it in less than a week. I came in for a fitting and it fit like a glove. I opted for the gavanization ($ 100) and powder coat paint ($ 100). I am very happy with the product and the service was outstanding. These guys do a lot of work for fleets — building racks for ladders and all sorts of industrial and commerical applications. For less than the cost of a rack online or a drive to the US, I have an amazing rack for the boat. We are kayakers as well so the rack fits our 3 boats. As the Athletics Director of the Highland Games of Durham, and an athlete, I will also use my rack to carry cabers. Win, win, win.
Great work Serge and Alex. Drop in and see the guys. Humble, hard working and precise.
