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! :beerchug:

(Sorry, I had to crop the sh*t out of the pic too get it to fit! POS!)

Nice, I like it. Was it a PIA to install?

Re: GOT THE ROLA!
 

No, easy install. I measured the distance between the rails and made a couple of adjustments before I put the basket on top. then measured from side to side to get it even and tightened it up. weighs about 50 lbs.
I used silicone on all of the seems and screws to keep the water out of the inner walls of the tubing.
it fits solid on the Yakima crossbars.

Looks great, one of the nicer lookin' racks I've seen. Where did you get it through?

Re: GOT THE ROLA!
 

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!
 

I have the Yakima mounts from my load warrior basket, they fit perfectly!

Re: GOT THE ROLA!
 

Thats a GR8 looking rack for the $$$.:beerchug:
Do the rails fit in the same way as factory?

Re: GOT THE ROLA!
 

The cross bars and towers are Yakima and they do fit right into the factory roof rails!

Re: GOT THE ROLA!
 

Any comments on the wind noise? What was the cost of the Yakima rails?

Re: GOT THE ROLA!
 

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?
specs said up to 3 1/4 inch ,so it should work.
Any side pics:D

Re: GOT THE ROLA!
 

Not too shabby for the Aussies...Looks Great. Good Luck!:perfect10s:

Re: GOT THE ROLA!
 

Sweet JP :) Ill tell ya for the cost of this rack you cant go wrong. Very well made and holding up well. Its only a half rack but just the right size for my needs (spare tire) Congrads on your new rack. We almost have twin H3's now :beerchug: fourfourto,,, I have mine mounted on factory crossbows,,no problem,, Heres a couple of pics,, see ya

Re: GOT THE ROLA!
 

Thanks looks GR8 with the factory crossbows also.

Re: GOT THE ROLA!
 

I'm sure that it will fit the factory crossbars with out a doubt! :D
I'll get a side pic asap.

Re: GOT THE ROLA!
 

Thanks for all of the info StarsnBars! :beerchug:
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! :D

Re: GOT THE ROLA!
