Cargo basket choice

In case anyone cares, when I was searching I found a lot of conflicting information about what baskets would fit on the factory racks. The Yakima load warrior with the extension WILL fit. I bought for my Dad's truck just to try, and it worked perfectly. I gave him his Yakima, he gave me my Bajarack. lol

 

Nice! Yeah, I was thinking about a Baja for the top of my truck. I love how those look.

 

I like it too, a lot of people talk crap about baskets on the factory rails, but I really like it. Main reason being normal daily driving, the basket is in the garage. When I need it, I throw it up there. Yes the weight capacity is less, but for me I would rather be able to remove it easily.
Pictar!

 

Yeah...it's 6' long. It's going to look interesting.

 

well mine is 62.5" so it's just a tad longer than yours. But yeah mine is super long too. Any bigger and it probably wouldn't have worked

 

psst 6' is 72"

 

LOL fack my math is off. OP - that rack is longer than your cab

 

Confirmed the Rola roof basket even with extension will not fit the OEM roof rack

 

why not?

 

I prefer the Load Warrior as well.





Why is all that strapped to the basket you ask?

 

partayyyy!!!

 

will it fit without the extension?

 

No it won't fit without it either. The cross bars just don't line up.

 

couldn't you just use u bolts?

 

scoot it either forward or back a few inches, it'll mount down with u-bolts like nammer said. Get some square u-bolts.

If anything, maybe it's too long with the extension?

 

There isn't a inch to give forwards or back. With the extension the front cross bars of the OEM rack would sit flush but the rear cross bars wouldn't sit flush and vice versa. Without the extension, the basket would need the furtherest rung of bars front or back but wouldn't be able to secure the other side. The OEM cross bars are too far apart to accommodate the Rola

 

maybe wider square u-bolt?

 

any pictures? it's not that I don't believe you, but i was thinking about getting a rola off Amazon, and can't picture the description, so it's like a teeter totter?

 

You can buy mine. I'm done with it
