Rooftop Cage Suggestions?

[eric_rosenwald]

I have a 2000 T4R with the factory roof rack setup. I want to put a cage on top for backroad trips. I also want to be able to attach a few RotoPax gas cans to it, using their hardware:

Mounting Hardware : Gas Pack : RotopaX.com

Does anyone have any recommendations on an affordable cage that's good for off-road use and would be compatible with the RotoPax mounting hardware? I also want to buy a hi-lift jack, and need the cage to be able to accommodate this.

Thanks

I've never read a single negative post about his work or about him. It's a good looking rack and I believe it will do all that you mentioned. Here's a link to his web site...he's also a vendor on here...

Wow, that is a good looking roof rack!! I am not a fan of putting gear on top of a rig either (changes COG when in off camber situations on trail rides/ rock crawling), but that one looks low and tight.

Like people who carry a spare, hi-lift, axe, shovel, cooler and a toolbox on their roof rack and have worse road manners than a double decker bus.

.... and they are the ones who have to park under a tree so they can throw their winch cable/tow strap over a limb and winch their stuff off their roof.
