Caught the Bug
So I am looking for a roof rack with a basket option for my JKU hard top. I had the Lange rack, but it's only practical for hauling kayaks and not much else. I'd like to have the kayak hauling ability and a rack to stow my camping gear on road trips, my shovel and axe, and whatever else I can throw in it to keep space inside my Jeep. I don't want and can't afford something like those huge tubular rack setups that cost over a grand. I need something around 4-5 hundred that won't snap off if I go 5 pounds over the weight limit and I am jostling it over the rocks. I also don't mind a rear spare tire mount basket if I can attach some Rotopax and still store a good amount of gear (tent, small cooler, etc). But the mounting of that extra weight to the spare tire carrier makes me nervous. I already have a hitch mount carrier, and that works great for on-road adventures, but I don't like taking it off road. Anyone got a setup they want to share?
