Barricade roof rack????
Anybody running one of these? I just happened to see the 2 door version listed for $180 on the XT website and snatched one up. What is the general consensus here? I figured I couldn't go wrong for that price. Trailer hitch cargo baskets run for $200. If you have amy experience with these let me know.

Wow $200 for a hitch basket. I just picked up one fromore harbor freight for $45 the other day to load camping gear on it is rated for 500 lbs and it handled every bit of that lol.

Oh OK gotcha the one I got was 50 inches wide. I am going to add some plywood and foam and cover it with some vinyl so I can flip it upside down and use it at a seat while I camp lol.

I got one of the cheap steel trailer hitch baskets. It's good for road trips with another person in my JK, but you couldn't really take it on a trail. It blocks the rear gate from opening (spare tire hits it) and never mind the lost departure angle. Camping works too if you have a place to disconnected and keep it in camp. Under $200 for a roof rack is a steal and I would jump on that any day.
