Yeah, can you do that? get rid of the stock runners and use the mount points? It would look a lot cleaner than gutters grabbers, and wouldn't be as prone to getting pulled off rubbing on a tree.
I would not have that basket up as high as the factory cross members, in any case.

had the flue for a week or so now but Nick came down and we mounted it up ,he's going to do the light tabs and a few other things. had to change the mounting and made 1/8 x2" brackets bolted to the factory rack . The original measurements i had were from his zj and the xj roof and rack is wider in between the rails. I also painted it to match the xj and it will hold ,i was standing in the rack when it was bolted on.     |
