Looking for some roof rack cross bars or maybe one of those baskets that bolt into the original roof holes. What do people recommend the most?? I looked at those roof baskets but there all currently out of stock. |

Sort of depends on what you want to put up on the roof. The idea would be to put as little as possible up there - think awning, long handled shovel, maxtrax type recovery boards & not much else, in which case, cross bars would do it. Having said that, I have a flat 'platform' rack that I made with mounts off the original roof rail mounts - on a 1999 GV though. This is primarily as we have an Oztent RV3 which is 2.0m long.

I've got some swb Grand vit rails. I just made some roof racks for a rooftop tent on my GV kept it low, added to the body roll but fuel economy hasnt suffered to much |

Yeh ok so the bolt on basket seem stronger,i just cant find any instock , 90% of the time it would just be an awning up there but is would be handy to have a basket to store other things. If i cant find a bolt on roof basket i may just have to get some cross bars and buy a basket seperately |

Consider the weight of the basket versus the bars, and the noise it'll make too. If there's a quick detachment option for the setup then go that direction so you don't have to have it on there all the time. |
