Default Roof/Safari Basket

Does anyone have or know where to find a roof basket for our model trucks.

i figured it couldnt be that hard considering we have the little edge on our trucks over the doors.

ive been looking around. cant seem to find one that actually fits, ive seen a couple of them online but i keep reading universal or on any roof rack exc..

anyone got one, a picture or a website.
would be great, want to sit my spare 35 on it.

defender makes them for crew cabs, maybe for super cabs. iv been thinking about just making one for mine.

i honestly dont see why the one on this truck wont fit, might stick over the window a little, or over the back a little.

I've thought about it for my truck for road trips. Either on my reg cab or on my ext cab.
With my headache rack on my xcab, it wouldn't be hard to just cage in my headache rack. My reg cab has a cab guard that I could fabricate one on. I've got a little motivational pic that's pure bad **** to me........
Here's my cab guard....
Here's my motivational pic......

I'm actually thinking of building one for my truck as well. I'm sure most roof rack company have some with close to the size you would need. Slowly trying to make my truck into a Apocalyptic survival looking truck you know with high powered lights all around the truck roof rack with jerry cans and a 55 gallon drum Slow progress for me though need to do some rust work

iv seen people use rivets to make them also, and they hold up very well.

get two light bars? use them? a simple clamp type system using 2 bolts and a bent piece of steel should do the trick. I don't want to drill my cab ither I have made clamps for a few rain gutters on cars in the past so far so good
