GOT THE ROLA!
I've been researching roof top cargo baskets for a while now, trying to find the right one best suited for my needs.
I had the Yakima Load Warrior on my last rig and liked it very much. That's what I was planning on getting for my H3, That is until
I saw the one that StarsnBars purchased for his H3 and sent him a pm to get a little more info. After checking out the Rola cargo basket I decided that it was the one.
Well anyway, I finally received it Friday (via UPS).
Just the right size! (w/the 18" extension I purchased it measures about 74" long X 41" wide X 4" deep ) I'll be mounting my bike racks off to each side of the basket, off-road lights front and rear, hi-lift jack, multi tool w/ shovel, axe and pick and also ski racks.
Thanks for the info StarsnBars! 
(Sorry, I had to crop the sh*t out of the pic too get it to fit! POS!)

Check out www.etrailer.com
The Rola baskets are made in Australia but, etrailer is one of their distributors. I only paid $200.88 (basket, extension, s&h)

Re: GOT THE ROLA!
Looks very nice.
What mounts will you use for the HiLift, shovel, axe & lights? Do they sell mounts for that specific rack?

Re: GOT THE ROLA!
Any comments on the wind noise? What was the cost of the Yakima rails?

No noticeable wind noise.
The towers and cross bars cost about $260.00 |

Re: GOT THE ROLA!
Jp do you think it will fit well on top of factory crossbars?

Thanks for all of the info StarsnBars!
I really like the Basket, It's very similar to the Yakima Load Warrior
(IE. Powder coating, dimensions, looks, etc.) at half the cost!
Now I need to get all of the goodies on it! |
