Right on!
I assembled and did a ring liner coating on it . Then added lights all the way around
You could have installed the u-bar upside down to make screwing the screws in go from the top

Wow wish I thought of that. Thank you for saving another 30 minutes
Covered everything well. I think I can finally open the box and get moving, Its just age lol. Thanks
Thanks. I would have liked to seen how the brackets got actually attached to the basket.
I keep looking at these racks. Funny thing is I've had my 4 runner for 5 years and never put anything on the free rack that came with it. Haha

Go ahead and put a basket up there. You can put on some rotopax gas cans, awning, kayaks, cargo holder, and supplies boxes. Very useful
Looks nice im thinking of getting one for my jeep xj wonder if you can get a padlock on it to secure it
That’s smart
Do you think that cargo roof rack will fit with the amazon basic crossbar rail?
thanks for the video. it would help to know at the beggining or the title the brand name and what type of install this is. For example it is a basket that goes on a rail system!!
Bought same one only it’s 64 inches. But I have a problem with sliding sideways so I zip tied it
From Blake I love your videos

Thank you, Blake!
whats the tubular size? I want to buy an awning bracket that clamps on the perimeter tubing from GZilla as im buying basket and cant find any information on the tubing size.
The screws suppose to be on top
I think I'll buy one for my 2021 4Runner. I want something that mounts to my cross bars that I bought and paid for because they don't come with the side rails. So this looks good.
i want one for my 05 scion xb
So this video has been up for a year how has it held up?
Hey I have a question, I have an ‘06 mercury mountaineer with the rails up top similar to yours. Do I need a rack like that one to install a rooftop pop up tent or will my rails support the tent platform? Thanks!!

I would think you would need something similar to this. I’m thinking the rails you currently have will have too much space between them to support the tent platform.

No issues that I’ve noticed.
Did you end up buying some sort of spray foam? If so, would you mind sharing which you bought?

I didn’t. So far no signs of any kind of problems.
And did it pop out a hole bunch of baby racks
I would take it back apart and fill the tubes with expanding foam if I were you. If you don’t; when it rains it will rust on the inside of the metal frame and the rust water will leak all over the roof. Head my warning

Paint has faded some but no issues besides that.
Sucks it’s $150 after tax and reviews stated there’s rust and leaks after rainfall. One star ⭐️
