Default got a roof basket

Last week was my b-day and I got my self a present. a coworker had a d2 that got totaled about a month ago, and he sold me his roof basket, with all lights for $250. I'm stoked, I love the look of it. It's an original land rover basket with land rover lights on the front, he fabricated a high lift mount on the back and installed a work light on it. Now there is a question to go with this other then just postin pictures, you guys with lights on top, how do you route your wiring?
anyways, heres the pics.

Do yourself a favor and lose the brush bar before it folds back and damages your hood and grill.
Nice rack!

Nice rack.
Thats the best was to score Rover gear, just sit back, wait and find the deals, I paid $150 for mine but had to drive 6hrs round trip to get it.

The roof basket looks great, but get some Rust-oleum on that brush guard, quick!

It is hard to find just the land rover lights used for that price. Good deal!

wow wish I could find one close for that price, I may end up having to build mine what is going rate for a used basket? i figure it will cost 150 tops to build one

i had found one on a rolled over disco1 in a u pull yard and kick myself for not buying it, it was mangled some but we could have fixed it

I've got to say that looks awesome. And it's even better with the LR lights on it. Very cool and you definitely lucked out on the price.
