How does one tell the difference between a Safety Devices rack and a Voyager? Are there markings, design features, or signature manufacturing touches that distinguish one from the other? I recently bought what was billed as a Voyager XD low profile rack but I can't find any clue on the rack itself that allows for positive identification. What should I be looking for?

From a practical standpoint, the question is moot. I'm happy with what I have. I mainly want to know so I'm sure I'm calling it the right thing.

Mine says Voyager Offroad. It’s a D2 rack that is on my D1.

Here's what I found on my rack:

There's a number stamped on the rear light mounting tab similar to what's in Brett's photo. Also, no oval Voyager logo.

Here are the feet:

I can't tell the difference between SD feet/hardware and Voyager, but based on the stamped number I'm guessing it's SD.

I emailed these photos to Safety Devices. The response:

"From looking at the images you kindly provided, the stamp on the mounting tab appears to identify the cage as our L103 which is a low roof rack for the Discovery 1."

Mystery solved.
