Pezzy Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 I'm not sure what is in your area... you can look for Thule or Yakima dealers... or try craigslist for a used one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skulptr Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 (edited) ebay has some off brand ones. my buddy picked one up for 80 shipped. i built mine by hand though. wasnt hard, and it holds more weight than any production basket will. the mounting was the most complicated part.

smoke Posted August 29, 2010 Share Posted August 29, 2010 I got the idea of everything for it...and the cost of materials (75-100).... going to use either 1" or 1.5" square tube 1/8" thick....and maybe make some sliders out of 2.5" 1/4 thick square tube...all i need is a welder and a AC-O2 set up...

Ya i acually just bought a nice mig welder and i might end up making a rack also keep me posted on ur project. I keep looking aroung for a yokima style rack but seem to be a bit over priced. Plus if its custome we can add mounts for all the random @!*% .. Shovel, jack, fishing rods, and nets etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAXEDpath Posted September 2, 2010 Share Posted September 2, 2010 where did you guys mount your racks to???? thats the only problem I've had in my plans so far is how to attach it?????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skulptr Posted September 4, 2010 Share Posted September 4, 2010 i used old thule cross bars, drilled holes through them, got bolts that match the thread on the original cross bars, and secured it to the runners in the track. you have to be careful though, if the bolts are too long, they will hit the bottom of the channel, causing the runner to strip. from there, i just bolted the basket to the thule bars. thule bars are some pretty hefty chunks of steel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
