You could always mount a stock trooper rack to the roof (drill a few holes) and attach a basket to that.
    DANG...I DO the camaraderie around this here place... ( sorry trek, there I go again...)

    Good on you Dude...

    As an aside experience...

    I once drove an 86 Troop turbo D as my work truck.
    One day, after installing a storm door on a house, I was headed back to the shop with the old door destined for the dumpster.

    On an overpass, a gust of wind caught the door, which had been ratchet strapped to the factory rack, & sailed it neary 50 yds into the ditch.

    Never heard or felt anything, didn't know I had a bare nekkid roof until I got back to the shop & went to unload the door...

    Replaced the stock rack with one of these...http://www.americanvan.com/ladder-ra...upports-1.html (had to cut the width a bit to make it fit)

    No more problem.

    I am thinking a low profile safari style rack(almost flush on the roof) and some waffle boards, I love this look:
