Roof basket

Does anyone know if

Either:

1. SportRack Cargo Roof Basket - SportRack Cargo Roof Basket - SportRack Cargo Baskets

2. Rola™ Roof Mounted 2-Piece Steel Cargo Basket - U-Haul: Moving supplies: Rola

Would mount directly to the side supports? instead of having cross bars?

Also. Which rack would be better in the long run?

This is from the (Rola) page you linked to :

Please note: Vehicles existing roof rack, must have cross bars to accept installation of this product.

The other one is 39" wide ... might fit at the back, but not the front.

P.S. If you let us know what KJ you have it would help .. there are a few different roof rails.

I was going to post a real sarcastic reply right now but figured I'd be polite!

I am sorry..I have a 05 KJ Limited edition with those round side rails.

Well I realize that these racks are designed to work with cross rails, but I was hoping to mount these racks right onto the side rails.

Any smart ideas? help?

Custom cross rails made from 1" rigid conduit and kee clamps. It'll cost about 40 bucks painted and everything. As low profile as you want or get someone to bend the conduit so you can have clearance. I would post a link but im on my phone. I think I last saw it in the how to section on here. Also it is on LOST. Its a project I've been researching but I have to set priorities.
