Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I love the concept and it's an incredibly handy piece of gear to have on our vehicle. I really want to love this product but there are a couple things that make it fall short: 1. It is a nightmare to install or adjust. You'd think they'd make it as simple as a regular school backpack but just beefier but no, it will drive you nuts. You can't just pull on a strap to tighten it, and lift up on the buckle to loosen it like any other bag in the history of bags that uses plastic buckles. You will struggle with it forever on your first install and no directions come with the Trasharoo. If you have a swing out tire carrier it will make your life a little easier but if you don't (like me) then it is a real challenge. I'm pretty handy and fix most things myself and build a lot of stuff but the Trasharoo was no picnic, and I've heard similar things from all the other guys in my 4x4 group. 2. It's not durable enough. If you're just putting this on your Mall Crawler and driving around on asphalt it will probably be fine. But I have mine on a vehicle that only gets used offroad. After 15,000 miles in about 1.5 years the Trasharoo is riddled with holes and wear from rubbing up against the spare tire on the trails even though I have it very tight and secure against the spare tire. I even have an extra strap going around the bottom of the tire to help keep it tight. It is also not UV protected and has faded considerably in the AZ sun. ****UPDATE**** The trasharoo died in June 2018 which was 21 months of only weekend / adventure use on a vehicle parked in a garage the rest of the time. The AZ sun destroyed the black fabric, it turned chalky white and the slightest touch caused it to tear. Interestingly, the nylon webbing remains black and unaffected. What’s the loint of a bag meant to go on your vehicle... which goes outside...in the sun, that’s not made out of UV proof material? I know that no fabric can last forever in the sun but 21 months with being indoors most of the time is a let down. I’ve added an updated picture.
