OK........Talked to the wife and she couldn't argure with the price since she just went out and spent $60 at Victoria Secrets. I'm not complaining but made for a nice segue when she told me. :lol:

OK.....where do I buy the hardware to mount this on my stock rails?????

What is the best way to mount it on a non-Renni?

Just get some U-bolts and coat them with rubber hose or heat shrink. Alot cheaper than buying custom clamps.

but is the rack wide enough to go link up with a U-bolt, I would be intrested to see how someone else has done this...

I bought mine back in October 2004 for about $120. It works great. I had it packed with stuff on a round trip of 2,600 mile trip from Denver to central Ohio. I bought an elastic web netting from either Thule or Yakima (can't remember) and protected everything from flying off.

I am thinking of getting one of these to go with it...

Huh? Whatcha mean? I did mine w/u-bolts.

See the other forum posts about "Cross-Bars".

I have to measure the rack on my sport, but I figure I can combine this, the sport rack and a my yakima fairing for a decent setup.
These are $65 on overstock now.

Mine finally showed up. Too easy to install and looks pretty good. I also noticed that with the basket on, the wind howl with just the cross bars is gone. Interesting...Anyway, I'll try and get some pics this weekend. I tried the other night but it was just dark enough to make the flash work and they looked like crap.

And best of all the wifeboss likes the look...

Next up...frankenlift

I got one. I won't be mounting it up until the week before Moab becuase I can't fit into my garage with it anyhow. With my mopar cross-rails on, I have about 1/2 inch or less between the rails and the garage door lip after the frankenlift and MT/Rs.

I guess it is a good thing I don't have a Frankie for a lift. I can get into my garage but barely, with the Rusty's lift. I would not be happy if I couldn't get my KJ into the garage with the roof rack. I am also glad I didn't get one of those large racks because I would not be able to get into the garage with those racks either.

Troysterr · **Posted:** Wed Mar 22, 2006 9:55 am

I installed mine last week, and my KJ still fits in my garage easily.

I have mixed feelings about this rack--it's kind of "cute"...but it's exactly what I was looking for: A light-weight, low-profile rack that I can throw a few bags in on trips with the family. I may put a gas can up there some day, but if I ever get a hi-lift I plan to keep it under the passenger seats.

Overall I think I'm pretty happy with it--and you certainly can't beat the price. Especially since Brian Larson (a former KJ owner) gave me his crossbars.

benmar2000 · **Posted:** Wed Mar 22, 2006 9:55 am

I got one.. It is together but not mounted yet.. I might get it mounted next week...

Got mine installed Saturday. I have $63 invested in the basket shipped to my door, and $9 bucks invested in hardware to fabricate cross rails. So I've got around $70 bucks or so invested in the entire project..and considering that most baskets are $200 and up...I am VERY happy.

I'll get some pics later.

Its an old old thread, but it came up in a :google:

search while I was looking to get a price on the extension piece for this rack. About 2 years ago I bought one off another forum's classifieds... I have decided that it is time to start looking for an extension, but I can not find any info on it. I cant even find the companies website anymore.

Can anyone help or post a link to where the extension can be found??

Wow! Wish I would've seen this post when it was new. Just today I go the final touches (maybe...) done on a roof rack project for my Renny.
