How was your mpg on that trip lol

Horrible as always LOL

Good idea with the unit strut to keep it low profile - did you notice a difference in drag from the standard mount on the cross bars?

Thanks it was a big diff in just noise alone. I'm pretty happy with it so far it does need a third support in the middle though do to my mesh floor.

Matt, What you can do is as people start posting there baskets put a link to that basket in the first post so people can jump right to the post they want.

I was getting pic's together to upload lastnight so I will start uploading pic for my garage & also of my roof rack this weekend so you guys can see what I have done sofar.

Rage roof basket 62.5" x 45"

First, I had to make some new cross rails that were lower profile (so i can park in the garage at work). I used curtain alluminum rails that we use at work. Cut them to length and test fitted them..............





Then I sprayed them with undercoating/bed liner stuff and installed them in their resting area..........







I gained 1.25"s of lower profile....with the sport bars (including the mounts) it was a total of 4"s high.......with my home-mades it came out to be 2 3/4"s high.

Then it was time for the basket......I picked this basket because of Sal's review and torture tests......Anywho, on to the pics.....

And this is my NEW Rhino Rack Pioneer Tray:



Rhino Rack also makes a leg kit specifically for the Commander that attaches the platform to the side rails with a nice clean professional look.

Good job bro turning into a nice thread. This is also a good thread to give some reputation points out if you choose to. I also made this thread a sticky.

Anyone want to see my rack? Here it is the well endowed Defender rack sitting nice and low on the roof from Offroad Unlimited. Beware that it seems that getting this kinda rack takes some real work. They are slow as molasses at shipping it out (assuming they even ship it). It sure looks good though don't you think?
