Safari Rack

[vmodi]

Is there a good safari rack option for the R50?

 

Ideally a cost effective one to boot.

 

Thanks.

Economically challenged usually equals cheap, unless you can make your own or find yourself a decent pre-owned. Otherwise I belive the more namebrand ones have a decent price tag on em... sorry

My basket was a decent price, I believe it is sold under the Coleman name in the states. Much cheaper than the Thule or Yakima baskets. That said, I got my (Thule) crossbars used... they wouldnt be cheap to buy new.

 

Try craigslist for used items.

I have the Yakima Load Warrior. I am thoroughly impressed with the durability and load. I have stuck a ton of crap up there with the net keeping it all safe. The thing I would warn about is the factory cross bars if you plan on using them. I snapped one in half driving around logging roads in Idaho looking for a place to camp. I would run Yakima or Thule bars if you plan on putting some serious weight up top.

Thanks folks!

The Yakima Load Warrior is great. My rack has been used for years with camping and trail riding. The rack also allows you to hook a lot of stuff up to it.

building one is the most cost effective, but is limited by tools and skills. i built mine for free, and is bigger and stronger than anything the market offers. my roof will actually give way before the basket would.
