    Interested in the roof basket. Everything I look at doesn't exactly fit what I'm going for, but this might. Subscribed to find out if anyone else knows anything about it. Price is right too. @tomwilson74 , do you have an OEM roof rack? Since the OEM roof racks sit kind of high, I was thinking of getting this basket and just fabbing up my own low profile mounts to keep it as low as possible, but I need to measure the side-to-side mounting points on the truck first...

    Yeah, I have the Toyota roof rack but the basket I bought isn't wide enough to mount it directly. I had to buy a set of crossbars and that raised everything up too high.

    Yeah, once I read the details a bit more I saw that it was 48" front to back. I'm looking for something that size side to side and that would put the basket slightly past the weatherstripping on the roof/factory mounting points... The search goes on...

    Let's face it, the OEM rack blows! I too mounted the Rola basket to the OEM roof rack with Yakima cross bars but that was goofy and too tall! Plus, the OEM weight capacity is a joke, I'd trust it for maybe one SUP. I do like the basket and use it with my bed rack and it's totally worth the price but just not on the roof. I really want a Prinsu rack but can't justify the cost, I don't need it that bad.
