    Hey all,

    I want to install the Sherpa Crestone roof rack onto my 4runner to lug large things around (canoe, skis, etc..) and one day to even have the flexibility to install a roof top tent if i choose to do so.
    I would also like to ability to load on fire wood when we go camping from time to time. Baskets seem to be an easy solution since they are super easy to load in wood and attach a strong bungee net over to hold everything down.

    With this in mind...has anyone attached a basket like the Yakima loadwarrior basket or similar on top of the Sherpa roof rack? Would it fit and is it attachable in that configuration? (never seen one before...so)

    If you have done this to your roof rack or have some experience in this, please let me know.

    Many thanks all

    I have a crestone and want to give you an installation tip that is often overlooked. In the video it shows how you fold a towel and put it under the front and then tighten the front, dont view that as an unnecessary step. Failure to do that can cause wind noise.

    I think Westcott makes little insert panels to fill in the gaps between crossmembers. Same rack design so I would do a couple of those and strap down the wood.
