Price
Kargo Master sent me an e-mail friday to let me know that their congo cage is ready for shipment. I haven't seen anything about it on their website yet, but I'll be calling first thing tomorrow morning to order mine. The price is GREAT, and it seems like it's gonna be a super sturdy rack! I'll post pics as soon as I possibly can!

Mine is being delivered today!!!! Wooooooooo Hoooooooo!!!!!
OK...UPDATE!!!!
I got it, and it's on. It took me about 3 hours (b/c I had to call a buddy to come help me get it on top once I got it put together.) Anyway, I love it. It looks great, and it seems super sturdy.
My initial thoughts: They could've probably made it about an inch shorter w/o any problems taking off the roof. I have 33" tires and a 2"BB, but with my Yakima Crossbars on there, there's no chance of me putting a basket on top and getting it in the garage. If the rack was an inch lower I might be able to get it in the garage without too much difficulty.
It's dark outside, so no pics yet, but I'll post some tomorrow.

A little disappointed
Alright, it came in last night and took me a little longer than I expected to get it all put on. I had to call a buddy to help me put it on b/c none of the holes lined up without a little coaxing. That didn't bother me too much, but I am a little disappointed with the fit. I'm pretty sure they could've cut it down another inch without issues with the roof. I think I'm gonna see what I can do to cut it down a little myself. The way it is now, the jeep won't fit in the garage if I add my Yakima MegaWarrior to the top. It's also a little less aerodynamic than I expected. I drove about 75 miles this morning, and it felt like the rack was made of sheet metal. I could tell there was quite a bit of drag, but I was also driving into the wind most of the time, so that made a difference too. Oh well...enough jabbering, here's the pics.
