Well, I picked up a gently used MOAB roof basket from an outdoor consignment store "Safari Gus". I got a good deal and it is in like new condition. I wanted to keep it nice and low so I mounted it straight to the hardtop. I picked up some foam/rubber weather stripping and ran it along the rails that would rest on the hard top and used a liberal amount of silicone so there would be no leaks. Also not associated with with roof rack I installed my boomerang shackles in the rear. That's why it looks like I am mall crawling but, I use this spot to take measurements and stuff for shocks, bump stops, etc.
