Two of these clamps came with my rod carrier and they worked just fine. I travel primarily on rocky and washboard roads so I was concerned that at some point that one or both of the mounts might shake loose. I had another cross bar to attach a rod carrier to on my camper shell so I decided to be safe and add a third mount. The addition of the third mount really clamps down the carrier and it does not move at all. This may be overkill but it gives me piece of mind that I won't have a catastophic failure out in the middle of nowhere! I have an extra mount in the truck as well (because they are sold in pairs) in case something breaks or works loose.
Great products Trxstle!!!!!!!

Glad I bought it
Excellent build quality and design. My 11'3" two-hander slides in with the reel off, and when I called to ask how to fit it in there I spoke to a great guy with good intel. No issues with storage after the trip was finished.

These things worked out amazing. Super easy to install and highly recommend. I am ordering a second set for my other rod carrier so I can quickly change between vehicles if needed.
