Its goals are to protect drinking water sources from toxic substances that may cause cancer and birth defects and to reduce or eliminate exposures to those chemicals generally, for example in consumer products, by requiring warnings in advance of those exposures.
The regulation requires the State of California to revise and republish yearly a list of chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer or birth defects or other reproductive harm. The current list contains over 900 naturally occurring and synthetic chemicals. This regulation also requires manufacturers to place warnings on products that contain any of the chemicals listed by the State of California. No other states require warnings of this nature, and products with Prop 65 warning language are legal to sell in all states.

Absolutely love how light this rack is. Its only about 45 pounds! It bolted on super easily, and I did it by myself in about an hour. Everything fits perfectly, and I appreciate the pre-drilled slots for all my gear. Great American-made quality with a lifetime warranty!

Nice integration with other Backwoods products like their lighting and roof racks. I’ve got a few of their pieces, and everything works well together. Rack feels sturdy, and the powder coat finish has held up great so far.

olid Rack, Just Reinforce Your Bed!
Love the strength and look of the rack. Install was smooth, and it holds gear like a champ. One tip though, if you're mounting heavier gear like rooftop tents, add some support to your bed. These Tacoma beds flex more than you'd expect.
Great service from their staff. Robert help me through all the process with a request I had, he responded all emails in a timely manner and provided great help.
Following the instructions was fairly easy. Its better to have second person to set it up. I really like the tent and the support that from ExtrailAuto. Really recommeded! Thanks
I love my trailhead roof top tent so much. It is so warm and spacious. Itās very simple to setup and put away. Extremely happy with my purchase. I waited to write a review till I used it multiple times so I could tell if I really liked it or not. Thereās not a thing I would want to change.
We have been on multiple trips with this tent. Its stable and comfortable with a good space for 2+ person to sleep in. Easy to setup and can be taken down under 10 minutes. The tent is waterproof and windproof and can be used during the winter season. Its worth the money and we are overall satisfied with our tent.
Looks great and very easy to install. Fits perfectly with no cutting on my Colorado 5 1/2 ft bed. As I unfolded the cover for the first time and each panel locked in place perfectly, I thought, Wow, that was easy.
