Hey everybody.
I know I'm relatively new around here, but I'm really really impatiently waiting to add to my TV. I already have the z71 shocks (accidentally bought them before i found the spring auction) and I managed to find springs for a decent price as well, so they're on the way. Mark, I'll be purchasing your kit in the next few months as well.
With all that, I was looking into replacing my stock roof rack with a cargo basket. Sounds simple enough, however there are a few requirements:
*I want to replace my stock roof rack and crossbars with this, or mount it inline with (instead of on top of) the crossbars. I'm doing this to cut down on wind resistance, increase strength, and reduce total vehicle height.
*It needs to be long enough for me to mount lights on the front without creating an extra light bar (KISS)
*It needs to be adaptable to mount a rooftop tent on the back (I was looking at the eezi-awn tents) and still have room for gas cans in the front.
I've been looking around, and I've kinda settled on either the MOAB or the Mule/MegaMule, but I wanted to know if anybody else has any input or knows of any other baskets that might suit my needs. Also, is the MegaMule too wide for our TVs? I like the Mule on James's TV, :hail: (I'm going for an expedition vehicle similar to his, but with more of a camper ability) but it's a little short for me.
Thanks in advance for all your help everybody,
Phil :tiphat
