Bolt on cargo baskets?

I live in bfe montana and cant seem to navigate internet enough to find a bolt on cargo basket.i want it solid... no cross bars that is light capable and doesnt break the bank. Hopefully 500 or less..can anyone help a brother out?

 

I don't think I have seen one like your describing. The closest in have seen is a modified harbor freight hitch cargo basket converted to fit across the bed.
Take a look through here and when you find the one that will fit the proper dimensions. Pm @eccracer104 and he can help you get it ordered with a discount.

I put one of these on some low kbvoodoo bars for a bed basket.

Wow this looks sharp!

 

It may not be what you are looking for but the Smittybilt Defender series is awesome. I have the 45454 on my bed rack.

 

Love the basket, low and compact...can you be more specific on the bars you mounted it to? What kind of hardware or mounting brackets did you use to secure the basket? Thanks!

 

I went with the Avid Off Road bed bars with basket. With powder coating it will be a bit over $500, but you can keep an eye out for sales.

looks great...how much weight can the basket handle? I assume I can easily load-up two coolers of ice and beer, yes?

 

If you are asking me, yes, it could easily support the weight of two full coolers. They recommend 3 bars for an RTT, so two bars should easily handle that. I didn't see an actual weight rating on their site.

@2ndGenJonny do you know the weight capacity of the Avid basket?

 

KB Voodoo Heavy-duty bars, they mount right into the bed mounting system:

I used some galvanized nuts & bolts from HD to attach. 8 total, 2 on each corner.

 

I really like the look of your truck!

 

Thanks!

 

We offer a 47 x 47 aluminum basket that is meant to be universal. It Would mount easily to the factory bed rail system with some 90-degree brackets.

$349 but you can use the code TAXSALE (for a limited time) to save 10%.

Sorry for the delay here, I don't get on here much and for some reason I wasn't notified about the tag.

Anyways, I used the basket for some time with a 120lb spare and highlift on it. I think the correct question is how much your bedsides can hold, not the basket.

 

Looks great!

Do you know what the lead time was for the bed bars?

 

Allpro is a bad name around here from some shenanigans a couple of years ago, but they're owned by trail gear now anyway. I don't know if you need something bigger but this is a neat idea.

 

Do you have plans to offer one that is 1x3 or 2x3? I want a basket to go under my top, but I only want it as a "shelf" behind the cab. Something thats 2f x 4f would be great.

 

Thanks!

From order to shipped out for the bars and basket was about 6 weeks, which included the time for powder coating.
