### ⭐ 







  
  
    Miss leading
  

*by S***N on Reviewed in the United States on November 19, 2019*

Make sure you read between the lines apparently this does not come with the crossbars this is only the brackets. Crossbars have to be bought separately. They need to remove the bars from the photos or explicitly state bar is not included.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Perfect!
  

*by A***Z on Reviewed in the United States on February 25, 2020*

These mounts came in powder coated black and matched the smittybilt defender rack. The Yakima round 48” bars were a perfect fit. Easy to install and perfect for the Yakima ski rack.

### ⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Bars not included
  

*by J***Y on Reviewed in the United States on November 28, 2020*

Leaving two stars because this product is very deceiving. I recommend stating in the product description that the bars are not included. Or perhaps use a different photo. Although these brackets look to be well built and sturdy. I wouldn’t have paid such a high price for simple brackets. Just very disappointed that the bars were not included.
