mountaineer bike rack problem

hello to all long time viewer first time post
lately i`ve read about different views on the bike racks i use mine not for bikes but with a aluminum toolbox bolted to it for all my cooking gear in one place love the idea but the way they made the brackets lacks quality for sure. my right side broke after one season took it back to dealer with this problem and a slide unit problem,they welded new one on and fixed everything under warranty. when i got it home i stood on bumper and it broke, bad welding job. i would not take these brackets for granted and why do they put 1/2 pin in a 5/8 hole, way too much bounce at the tail end. i know there is a weight limit, so me and a friend stick welded new brackets to frame for better structual support and also bolted brackets to bumper square stock for no side to side movement.hope this helps somebody love this forum thanks cya going camping!
