roof baskets

[2003renegade]

i was thinkin of puttin a basket on top of the kj. i was just wondering if they make them specifically for the liberty or do i have order it for like a cherokee sport or something?

rock lizard makes one that mounts to the factory holes that your ultility bars are on. You can also get a mopar basket made for a jeep. But tons of companies make racks that mount to the majority of cross bars on all cars. But that means that you'll need to buy or make crossbars to go on your utility bars

Buy or build crossbars and get the Rola roof basket from eTrailer, $159 shipped! That's the one i have.

Buy the Mopar cross bars off Ebay, or at a Stealership...or just make some yourself. Check the threads on here, there are a lot of interesting ideas people have come up with for cross rails....wood...aluminum tubing....perforated sign post.....

Some guys have the rails going in between the rack bars, nice and flush with the roof. Boiler makes roof racks....check his sig link.

surco
I think it was about $150
$10 in U bolts from home depot
get the big one and turn it side ways so that the bars that should go front to back and
mount to their cross rails just go on top of your OE rails
then you are done
I have gone 600 miles with over 100# in it no problems

oh and if you want I can get you the size I have
no pics
and it is not on the Jeep at this time

I have that set of crossbars they sell on ebay for $65, but i got mine used off a forum member, got a good deal!

You cold bolt on accessories to the Rola easy enough. There is a few companies online that make mounts that clamp to tubing of various sizes, thats how i mounted the lights on my roof basket.

The Surco racks are a little more expensive than some other racks, but they come with cross bars, so it evens out.
