I used to have the Con-Ferr then I traded it for a Yakima for ease of removal. I think it sits way to high though. I am working on the cross bars now. I am going to bend them in the shape of the mega warrior basket.to get a lower profile. I get som pictures up when it is done.

My con-ferr is a bit muck for the XJ, but for a 50 buck find on craigslist, I can't complain.
I think it started out life as a wider rack and was "skinnied" to fit a landcruiser.
Now mind you, I did have to buy the gutter mounts seperate, so I have about 150 bucks tied up into it.:safari-rig:

Started out with this:

Got rid of the thing because it mounted to the flimsy factory cross rails and I didnt like how it mounted.

Then I got this:

Same flimsy mounting options, but I liked the quality better, and it opened on either side!

I got rid of that one too, and bought this rack, which I've been happy with so far:

I had a full-size, home made rack on my old XJ:

Hello-first post here...been lurking for a little bit. Came over from Yotatech. Thought I would share what our truck looked like when we drove from Bangor, Maine to Prince Rupert, BC. We had two Thule boxes, with a bike rack in between, a Yakima basket over the cab with a gas can, charcoal grill, and a waterproof duffel with our tent and sleeping stuff. On the rear bumper (that I built modeled off of Rob's {watrd} bumper) I had a home-built reciever bike rack. By the time we got to BC, the springs were a bit tired. We now have Firestone airbags. Thanks for letting me share!

I have everyone beat with my "Custom" "Redneck Rack"

 

[daverami]

I have a Yakima Rocket box and a Basket Case that I use with 2 load bars.

The box usually gets clothes, sleeping bags, pillows and a few folding chairs. The basket may get fuel, water, or a Action Packer with kitchen stuff in it.

Have you carried any fuel or water on the Basket Case? I was thinking of a jerry can or two, securely strapped down of course, but was wondering if that rack is sturdy enough.

I have the Yakima Loadwarrior with the extension in it and I usually have it loaded up with two 5 gallon old style military metal gas cans, one 5 gallon water can and plenty of wood and whatever else I can fit up there and it is plenty sturdy enough to hold all of that...

What are those containers? I've seen them piled on everything, they must not way much.
