I had no problem attaching it to my rack and I am a novice at anything mechanical.
And I cant figure out how to post large pics here either. Check out my gallery.
So I took the new roof basket offroading at Padre Island National Seashore this past weekend and there were a few issues. In short, the basket slid side to side a bit so I'm going to have to make a few fixes on the mechanism to clamp to the roof rack before further recommendation of this roof basket.
The basket dimensions are 44 inches x 35 inches x 4.25 inches.
I like the pulley system, but unfortunately that won't work with my carport setup so I'll be sticking with a ladder for the time being.
On an unrelated note, I saw what looked to be a broken down Vx being loaded on to a flatbed tow truck outside of San Antonio on the way to Corpus last Friday. :(
As a follow up, I fixed up the mounting issues with some JB Weld and better washers/nuts. Things are holding up well now (had spare on the roof for a number of months), though I'm still not crazy about the U-braces that the rack comes with and I'll be keeping my eyes open for something to replace them.
