I wouldn't be so quick to say that...we have yet to see full and daylight pictures of this basket...

 

Fab?! the only thing i did full assed here was spreading bedliner on it. This is a Yakima "Load Warrior" basket with the center enxtender and cargo net. it's a spendy toy if you bought it. I how ever, did not. I prefer free.

My dad didn't put it on the 2006 Explorer he bought my mom, because he thought it looked like a "Jungle Landcruiser thing." His words not mine. He had it stashed in the rafters of his shop for 3+ years now. When i went up to use the shop for some repairs i didnt want to do in the rain, he gave it to me. still in the box yo!

Anyway, i bed lined the air dam 1) to match the bug shield 2) because i had BL to waste and 3) because in big reflective silver vinyl letters it said "Explorer". FU Ford!

I considered taking a run at something like this, but the only thing I could think of would be to procure 2 shopping carts and chop the baskets off. how cool would that look....
Or 4 crab pots with the tops cut off
i think this turned out better
**edit** found your snarky comment AFTER posting... Alex, thanks for the vote of confidence.
Between you and Devin, i guess I must be doing something very right. You guys really think i could pull something like that off? I even said i had a basket to pick up around Thanksgiving I gave you guys the name and brand a few times... lol!

I should have just lied and let you guys think i have been dragging *** this whole time, and I am actually a master machinist like Chris

 

guess you beat me to it Alex.

like hell!

besides, i'm a Precision CNC Cylindrical Grinder. but i'm quite capable of running a lathe, mill, radial arm drill, jig grinder, etc., but the grinding (most critical part of the process) is my chosen profession.

you just go shoot the bad guys Curtis, it's what you're good at. hahahaha!

 

we all have to be good at something right?

 

theres your day time shots. note the length, 3 bars and undercaoted rails. working on a few projects right now. falling behind and there is a HUGE college football game tomorrow night (only the most important of the year). it's civil war baby University of Oregon (ducks) vs. Oregon State (beavers)....

 

Very nice.

You can add one of those to my order!

it's about time Curtis, looks good.

ya know, some nice roof lights would look nice up there. where'd you steal that 3rd cross bar from?

 

That looks sweet, it fits quite well.

 

Thanks guys :d got the 3rd cross bar my first trip to a JY. was gonna punch holes in it and put in some lights, but then figured i could just get a basket and mount lights to it. now it's extra bracing for my canoe

 

Very nice!!! I'm impressed (weird huh?) lol.
I agree with the lights though. Add 4 lights up there and it would be awesome
