I'm just going to do the Inc. home made rack, inexpensive, does the job, doesn't sit high so no additional drag.

So I was about to buy the black widow basket on amazon when I came to the horrible realization that it is only available to you yanks, so now poses my challenge, what is available to me that doesn't cost a fortune? |

http://www.etrailer.com/pc-rola~59504.h ... medium=ppc Looks like they do ship to Canada, and thanks for the link, gonna have to think about it though, $100 shipping for a $150 rack. Expected considering the size I suppose, I may wait a bit and order it with a net and the extension at the same time, just to make it worth it lol. |

For what it's worth, there is a Truck accessory store in Western Canada called Cap-it: http://www.cap-it.com/cap-it-locations.html They sell a few different types of cargo/luggage baskets and roof rack systems. Then there is Rack attack in Canada. They also sell different types of of cargo/luggage baskets and roof rack systems. http://www.rackattack.com/store-locations.asp They might have something for you. |

So I bought one locally, not as cheap as I wanted but got it right away. Only problem is I found rust on my roof near the rails.

Sounds like it's time to bedline the roof. |

I'm gonna go to Line-X this week and get a quote, I'm gonna take everything off the roof and try to prep (sand off rust, put port 15 on rust spots) before I get it to them to save cash. My hope is a color matched silver on the roof, than black for my cross bars and roof rack, depending on cost at the shop I will go all black. |

Finally got a pic of the roof rack, and the 4' red cb antenna mounted in the back. I'm going to have to add some padding to the antenna since it bangs against the rear wiper on bumpy roads, but then again its just another noise in the constantly growing noisy Jeep. |

I just lost my 3rd antenna to the bush. I'm thinking I may try mounting it like yours next time. |
