Roof Rack basket

[Paulmaz]

I searched a few posts, and found some info. It seems these are inexpensive roof rack baskets that look good. Not so much looking for utility, just looks!

I have the factory rack, with the crossbars. Also has a sunroof.

Do I need other stuff for these to work?

As long as everything comes with mounting hardware you should be good to go with what you get straight out of the box.

Thanks Joe. Looking at your pictures of your 01....which basket is that one?

I have a 10-year old Rola that has held up great. I did make a few mods to improve the overall set-up, but I don't think you'd need to go that far.
The only caveat is the OEM bars are a bit on the flexy side and you may see that transfer to the rack a bit when things get bumpy.

Getting the Rola

I bought the Rola on Amazon for $165. It seems using the factory rails will not look great, so I will be doing what this guy did. Seems easy and rather inexpensive.

I've got a basic Rola rack that a good friend gave me a couple of years ago.

I have the Rola basket and did this mounting method and has worked good for a couple years now.

Check out my build thread. I had a Rola rack and liked it a lot. Basically full length with the extension

Final Pics

I ended up getting the Rola, and also doing the brackets that Pho Runner did. Take a look at the link below (Some Pics)

it was really easy, and cheap! and it's solid. I tried putting on the OEM rails, abut was not stable at all. this gives it a good look, is solid, and also not mounted super high.

My buddy up here in Ft Worth is selling a Basket with Mounts off his 3rd gen 4runner. Hit me up in DMs and I can double check with him.

But those should work.
