check the ROTW link in my signature line, third pic/the pic with all the mud. I did not like the rack. I'd recommend buying bars for it like yakima or something and NOT attaching it to you factory rack. The basket is held together by little screws and not bolts. Unless someone is giving it to you, I say don't buy it.

I got a 3/4th length Surco rack with 4 Hillbilly lights, mounted on 2 Thule bars. Don't like it and don't use it. sits in the garage. Bought it used for cheap so if I need it I guess it is there. Even with the Thule bars I would not put anything heavy in it. Oh and the paint is peeling. It was used, cheap, and came with 4 lights, other than that I wouldn't have bought it.

thanks for the input guys, after hearing this I dont think I will get it, my plans were to hook up 4 lights and keep my Jack and a few tools up there, is there a rack that you would recommend, for about 400-500$, thanks again,
Garett
p.s. Land Speeder that is one awesome looking rig you got!
