Roof Rack Cargo Basket
Does anyone out there run a cargo basket or roof rack for their H3? I'm looking to add a cargo basket to my H3 and wanted to see what everyone was running. If you have pics of your rig, I would greatly appreciate it.
I was looking for something along the lines of a rack like this one, but the ones I found were over $500. Is that what I'm gonna pay?
Thanks!

Plenty of Safari style roof racks out there or you can make your own or have one Kustom made. I went with a rack that sat behind my roof hole because I like an unubstructed view. I also have a spare tire rack (thanks CB) for even more exterior cargo capacity.
My "Kustom" racks on Mr. Blue:
Same Rack on Mr. "T".
Other "RACKS":
Rola Rack
Gobi Stealth
CBs rig with a Rola & Mr "T" with a Yakima (with extension):
Defender rack I believe:
More "racks" to come:

Awesome Pics! Thanks for them. I also love the spare tire rack. Is that Homemade? Where can a fella pick one of those up? The 3rd and 4th pics down, shows an H3T with rack on it made out of round tubing. Who makes that one?

TAINTER - Yanni's truck with the limb risers is a Rola too, not a Thule
That's my truck. I got my Rola from etrailers.com. Rola Roof Mounted Cargo Basket Rola Roof Cargo Carrier 59504
I got it with the 18" extension. Not a bad rack for the money - $250.00 shipped.
It reaches from the rear of the truck to just behind the moonroof.
It mounts to factory or aftermarket cross bars.
Here's more pix:

Where did you get that light bar along the front of the rig that holds the lights?

That's a "Hilljob" lightbar. They are rare.
There was a guy on here that went by the screen name Hilljob.
He made a small quantity of these custom made bars. I got mine used out of California last year.
The truck in the pictures above with the limb riser cables going from his brush guard also has a "Hilljob" that the other end of the cables are connected to.
