Roof Rack / Basket Mounts

[Steve #1]

Thanks for the info guys, gives me a few options...... they're even proud of there mounts.

Dan, how do those mount to the rail? Are they two piece?

no pics sorry

two piece
each clamp uses two machine screws and washers to connect with a threaded pice of (upside down T shaped) metal that slides in the track. Then you bolt on an L shaped piece that provided a horizontal surface to attach the roof rack.

There are three on each side of the rack

I just picked up th eSurco Urban Rack. I you order the 45in wide model, you can use your existing crossbars and the rack (and rack floor slats) will mount directly to the crossbars. The rack uses track sider bolts and you can slide them right into the crossbars. its a nice clean install. If interested, i can snap some close up photos or jst go to surco's web site.

I used the Surco mounting hardware and crossbars for my rack. I brought the H3 OEM rack basket off eBay but the mounting hardware was lost in transit. Since the eBay seller couldn?t get the OEM mounting hardware and I didn?t want a refund. I began researching other mounting hardware. After looking into Thule and Yakima, I used the Surco CH100 with the 53 inch Safari crossbars. I think its a little taller then stock. The CH100 mounting hardware fits into the H3 roof tracks and the 53 inch crossbars fit nicely to the roof basket.

Thanks Charlie I was thinking about making something along the lines of the CH100 and after seeing a detailed pic, I don't think it will take much work.

Thanks guy for all the suggestions.

Just installed my arb roof rack last night. Used factory track and arb fit kit for a Jeep Cherokee gutter. There should be a actual h3 fit kit out in the future, but this works for now.
