Hey guys, I have an 03 Renegade with the full options package including lightbar and roof rack "tupperware". I do NOT have the crossbars for the roof rack though (previous owner lost them). I need to move an extension ladder from one house to another.. can I put any weight on the plastic that is up there? Or is it just for show? |

i found it too flimsy on mine, and ended up replacing it with a proper basket. If you dont have the crossbars, i would not count on it for too much. You are better off taking off the tupperware altogether and just attaching the ladder to the roof-rails directly |

Don't do it!! Get some cross bars or even make some or stick the ladder thru the back window in worse case scenario. That tupperware will scratch up your roof. |

Get some crossbars, safer that way as well |

Agreed. No support and that thing will crack. I sold mine and the cross rails (and mounts) and got a metal roof basket and Yakima rails with mounts. |

you might be able to see it to your local dealer, b/c a guy here at my college had one and got almost full value! if not there, you can definitely sell it on e-bay, b/c normal people (NON LOST'ERS) do not know how flimsy they are. and i completely agree, make some crossbars, like many have, which are very inexpensive and strong, and get a roof rack. i have the Black Widow Roof Rack and I love it!!! or you could get the best rack out there and get a Rock Lizard Basket, but I think the site is down right now. |

I'm using this idea to create some crossbars. http://www.lostjeeps.com/forum/phpBB3/vie ... hp?t=32824 Found these while searching the net yesterday: Auxiliary light bracket ...if you want to add to some lights.... |
