Sounds crazy enough to actually work!

Using the factory rack will let the basket sit lower, but it won't be as strong. Going with aftermarket will let you carry more weight, but will raise the basket up some.
P.S. I'll be doing this in a few months so I'll have a complete Yakima rack w/Control towers and crossbars for sale. Sorry but I'll be keeping the Steelhead Bike Mounts, Promo Ski Mounts, and Fairing .

[QUOTE=Birdman]Why not remove the factory rack and mount it directly to the rails? This would definitely be the lowest and strongest way to mount a rack.
That's how my ConFerr rack is mounted. I may even slot the brackets to lower the rack another 1/2" or so.

I just got a BVG basket and I like it so far. I just have it sitting on the toyota rails and I have to say, it dosn't make as much noise as I thought it might. I will have to see what it does to my mileage. I do not have a wind fairing on it ( but I am looking). I have more than enough room to get in and out of the garage....but we will see once the lift comes.
I am looing for a light bracket that will fit the front...like a 4 light setup..anyone know of one?
