Roof basket that attaches directly to tracks?

    Hey all,

    I put a topper on my 2015 and put a nice bed in the back, and to make up for some of the lost space I am looking into baskets to put on my shell.

    I don't really like a lot of the baskets I have seen because they sit on top of the roof rack rails and end up sticking way up above the roof. Other than looking funny, that must be pretty bad on gas mileage.

    I would love a basket that attaches directly to the tracks and is much more low-profile. The only one I have found so far is Baja Racks' Camper shell rack. But at $585 it is pretty pricey.

    Does anyone know of any other racks that attach directly to the rails? Or are much lower profile?

    If you're in Denver, and you're talking about a roof rack for your topper (not for the roof of the cab), then you should visit Suburban Toppers on Colfax. They have a lot of info and options, and they really know what works well on a topper (esp. the load capabilities of the fiberglass). They've been very helpful to me in the past.

    I am looking for one on my topper. That is actually where I got my topper, so maybe I will give them a call and see what they say.
