I need a roof rack
Hey gang. Long time viewer...first time poster. I need a roof rack and I don't want to spend $1,500 for a Gobi...as B.A. as they are. I prefer a basket of some type.
It doesn't have to be perfect, but it needs to be a decent deal. Anyone have one they want to sell? I'm open to anything!

A few of us have these Rola baskets. The basic basket with the 18" extension added fits perfectly on an H3.

You would need cross rails to attach it to.

The Rola with extension is great for a rack you can install and remove by yourself as needed.
It's all welded and looks a great deal like some other branded racks to me.
You could make or use other mounts or use the OEM rails.
Just be sure to measure your garage opening. Mine fits with 285 tires or 315's in a standard 8 foot opening but even better I can have it loaded and get in my shop with a 10' door.
It is also strong and functional when you need it. The price is right, you might as well just get a new one. I have a sunroof and it will fit behind that.
I ran the Mojave Road with a 285 on OEM rim and all my camping gear for 10 days in a waterproof bag on mine.
I have hauled two 315's on beadlock rims up there for 600 miles.

Rola Roof Rack and cargo net
That's exactly what I was looking for and I will buy one today. On a related note, I don't have a sunroof on mine, and I have a strip of lights on the front. That space between the Rola roof rack and the lights might look a little naked. Does positioning the roof rack forward decrease the good lucks or is it even possible? Will it then cause the back to look naked? Any thoughts or am I just overthinking.
Also, anyone have a best cargo net that fits best on the Rola
