Could you elaborate some?
A good place to start would be by buying some crossrails. Don't get the aero ones from Mopar, nothing fits on them ](*,) . Get some Thules or Yakimas (or barecrafters or...)...Basically, get square profile loadbars. Then you have the platform to mount whatever you want up there- Bikes, Kayaks, Skis, Canoes, whatever. You can also just buy a basket that mounts directly to the factory rails, thus eliminating the loadbar step (but you probally won't be able to mount carriers up there that way). Baskets are good for throwing....stuff into. Tents, sleeping bags (IN DRYBAGS), backpacks, whatever. Good luck, hope this helped.
Where can I get a basket that mounts this way? I'd prefer to avoid the cross bars because it would add extra height.
