I know there has been a lot of talk lately about guys searching for, making roof top baskets.

I had to go to the local wreckers today to get a side grill insert and spotted an alum roof top basket. It is designed to fit on the rails on top of a passenger van body, but could be modified to fit the X rails easily.

The only catch, it is in the Yukon, but would work well if you where travelling thru to Alaska. Theses would probably run in the thousands to make, or get made.

 

Lots of them on the internet.

 

Wallz, how about this one? It looks aluminum.

If not for those rims and tires, I would really like that X. Is that yours, Michael?

 

No, just came up for sale in my market. Asking 49k

 

is it the flares on the fenders that makes the hood look short and sloped or is that a modified hood?

 

This is my plan: with extension(s): with a tire carrier: and maybe the fairing: to help with aerodynamics...

That is, unless I get a sudden windfall, then I'm totally building a complete roof system mounted to the frame with ladders so that we can sit up on top with lawn chairs like someone did on here.

 

How many extensions? I know a guy running two...

 

Possibly two. I need to measure and see. I want it to extend the entire length.

 

It works, of course I have eight bars supporting it.

 

No, It's a F650 front.

 

sorry this took so long for some pictures, but you know how it is.



Nice full alum box with walk side rails that could be cut off. About 4.5ft x 8 ft dimensions
