Need a cargo basket for an LJ ~ suggestions?

[NOMADIC_LJ]

Looking to add a RT cargo basket to my LJ. Looking to carry lightweight (but bulky) camping gear such as sleeping bags etc. Since this is a travel oriented site, I thought you guys might be able to give me some suggestions.

On my previous Jeep I had a wilderness expedition rack and basket. Construction was rock solid but the noise factor was bad. Looking for somethings thats made solid yet keeps noise down to a minimum.

Post some pics if you have them please! Here's what I'm currently running

I've seen people take the racks off of ZJs and WJs and mount them to a hardtop. They seem to be pretty low profile. I have one on the family's Yukon XL and the noise isn't an issue. As far as gear goes, you could lash it down to that rack or fab up something removeable to mount to it. We use a Thule ski box when we take trips and need more space and that has worked pretty well (might have to get a shorter one to fit on a Jeep though)

Thanks Kevin, actually I made a platform that goes on the top bars to hold gear. I hold everything down with a large cargo net. I works pretty good and gets all my gear where I need it.

A cargo basket would help me organize my gear a little better as the platform does not offer much side support as you can see from the picture below.

The Bestop Cargo tray is nice, and it doesn't rust!
