Anyone swap stock roof rack to the safari style basket rack where you can slap a spare tire on top and what not? If you so, did you put lights on the rack?

I've got one on order that will hopefully be here in January. I'm trying to decide if I'm going to put one long light bar on it or like 6 smaller ones.

Had this Yakima basket on my old truck it hooks right to the factory rails...
Had planned to put lights and a spare but never got to it... Probably will on the new truck eventually

Looks great. Can you go through a car wash with that basket? Thanks.

Went through with just the basket a few times and then put the 3 inch lift on and was still able to go through a normal Shell station-sized with both the basket and lift... So yeah you should be good as far as an empty basket goes... I didn't get a chance to try it with my spare up on the roof so I can't help ya there but other than that it wasn't too bad I even fit in my local mall parking garage [emoji106]

I just put one on mine this past weekend and bought a few lights. Unfortunately i only had zip ties and a ratchet strap for now. I don't have anything in it yet, but its pretty tight to the roof, doesn't budge, yet. I do have two cube spot lights up, about to put a 9 in flood up there too. What kind of hook up did the rack come with? I got mine for next to nothing on CL, so i wasn't going to complain about not having any hardware. :head3:

Heres the wifes. Just put it on over the weekend for a test fit. Still waiting on more lights and to paint the Handyman jack to match.1b751588097cf8963072272f4884604a.jpg
