    Thinking of adding a second battery...
    See if you can find a Megawarrior basket mounted on the cab. Just got one for 250 dollars (they run for 450). I've not installed it but I hope to do it this weekend. If I get it done, I'll post a pic here. I have a SnugTop XTR (google it) and I think it should work for what you want or get you close...

    @apy_camper Did you ever find a good solution to get a cab rack or basket to level up to the canopy rack? I have the same setup: DC with an MX canopy & Yakima racks on it & looking to do the same. A lot of options out there for sure. Trying not to break the bank & be able to easily take it off when not needed

    Not exactly, I found a local with a Victory 4x4 rack still in the box with some extra gear for an unbeatable price, so I jumped on it.

    It levels the roof line of the cap with the front rack so I think I'm going to start looking for a different rear rack or bar set that's lower profile or a shorter Yakima bar.

    Thanks :taco: didn't exactly avoid breaking the bank...but came new with brackets for 40" light bar and awning brackets and some extra T-Nuts for a price I couldn't refuse for a local pickup. Thanks to a TW member who "decided to go another direction"!

    I was going to go Hooke Rd which is similar but thinner materials and Chinese made so I decided to take the deal presented to me. (sold some stuff to come up with the extra $)

    Now to add the other accessories to my birthday list :thumbsup:

    Have a 2020 with a softopper on it and am wanting a roof rack for kayaks and what not. I’m worried about if i got a prinsu that the kayak would hit the softopper even if cinched down tightly. Would my best bet be to get the Baja utility rack or could i even go with the Baja flat rack?

    Finally the fix I was looking for, may have to play with the rigging to get it all to make load/unload a little simpler, but it'll do for the first trip out!

    Nice! That looks like a solid setup! Got my Yakima bars on the canopy & just ordered a Baja basket for the front. Think it’ll end up being pretty level
