I know everyone has their favorite brands and expect utmost quality in after market parts.

And this may even be a repost (I'm new be nice), but costco has a GREAT deal on the coleman safari rack. $75 shipped There is a 5% fee for non-costco members. No big deal.
I've heard several positive reviews on the rack.
Check the link for review, pictures, and a link to the sale page on costco's site:

I thought it seemed like a great deal.
