Roof Basket

Post by Booboobear »

I mounted my light bar and made a custom roof basket for the Baja this weekend. I have a few more things to add but its 90% there.

What do you think?

no sunroof on your baja? I love the idea how you're keeping the basket low profile but I'll need clearance to open the top

Zip ties are preliminary for now. lol. I haven't decided how I want to mount it quite yet. Don't laugh but I'm actually thinking large (industrial type) zip ties because there easy on and easy off. Plus a steel cable for security reasons probably.

The sunroof is there. Pic just doesn't show it very well. Here's a few more. I'll post a pic looking up from the cab when I get a chance.
