Default How have you set up your roof basket

I would like to get ideas as to how to set up my roof basket.

Right now the basket has a bracket for a high lift jack(per what PO said), i would like to add something for a shovel/axe and some jerry cans.

What else would yall do?

anyone have their items stolen?

you can see the brackets here:



i found some fence brackets i could use for the shovel and axe but the mounting could get tricky.

in the lap of luxury as always, do you run the jets with the electric water pump as well?

Take a look into these, Swagmen Bike Clamps:





You can buy a lockable version also, they are pretty cheap, they are perfect if you want to mount a shovel up there!


You should also get some quick fists from Cabelas, they are more versatile, of course if you have the time to get it shipped before your event!


Quick Fist® One-Piece Rubber Clamp : Cabela's


Kudos on the rack btw, looks strong! It'll probably hold enough until the gutters start to bend

buy a pioneer kit off an older hmmwv.


buy gas can mounts and get a military 5 gal water jug and a military 5 gal fuel can. mount them to the back so they hang just above the rear door.
