Late in the game here, but this thread helped me immensely last fall!
X4 on the ROLA, and it was EZ to bolt right to my fiberglass top.
It takes two average guys to get that top off on a sunny day, but now, it takes two STRONG guys LOL....

Chaplain - You just talking about the regular OEM roof rack, or a basket?

Agreed.. The slide in with one screw to lock in design is kinda weak but it works well. After I get the extension I plan to weld it into place. I bought this rack through discountramps.com for around 100 bucks. This is a GREAT deal and it looks awesome.

Anybody want to trade their Load Warrior for my Mega Warrior, it's sitting in my living room...
That Mega with the extension is sweet though...maybe I should just get the extension and go bigger!

Here is my ad on Cragislist:

No basket, just the oem rails and slats for sale. The link to that ad was not mine.

discountramps.com has it for bout that and i think they have a deal on ebay thats $99 + shipping through the same company. They just sell it a little cheaper for some reason. it's def. worth the money.

Just bought the Black Widow off of Amazon for $99 + $29 shipping. Good deal! This forum is what pushed me over the edge to buy it. I have been searching for months. I can't wait till it gets so I can put it on! I'll post pics when I get it.

Hey RunningAround... is there any play like sliding left or right a little. I noticed mine the other day when i was washing my truck i grabbed it and it slid on me a little. Also, if you find a light that mounts to this rack let me in on it! oh, and by the way.. looks good.

It kinda looks like you have the rack on side ways. like the side now should be the front and the front now should be the sides. i might be wrong though
