the hard part would be finding a basket small enough to fit and look right. it would be like a 50x25 basket.

I still need to get some more stuff to put up there. i havent figured out how the hell im going to lift my spare up there.

Hilift is a jack/recocery tool. I do not have any pics but its easy. Drill a hole in the roof put a gromet and rtv that sucker. Run wiring to switches. Ill see if I have any pics and or take a few.

Really liked the 214 Rubicon X in anvil so I bought one and they gave me more than I paid for the truck

I never really understood the reason for any type of roof rack on a truck. I mean... it's a truck, it has a bed. But I have to say that looks freakin sweet!!

Wow outstanding job and write up. What did you use for switches? I am trying to find a factory switch panel as well as a way to wire my setup. Love what you did
