Matt, i had the idea to use unistrut also. i gave up after i couldn't find a decent mounting system to the rail because of the angle built in to it. i just looked through your thread which reminded me that i had seen it before. you did a really good lob. i think i may change my strategy a little, and try to find a wider basket and mount it right to the rail, skipping the crossbars all together. i noticed your basket extends back pretty far. doesn't that kill your SAT reception?
