Crossbars successfully installed: APX2503 by AA-Products

[dviousdave]

This is my first set of crossbars. Never had one on my previous truck (2006 Ranger). My goal was to add storage capacity without breaking the bank. The crossbars are made by AA-Products. I lucked out because they are local to me. Had them in 2 days.

Product number is APX2503 for anyone interested.

I also purchased a cargo basket. That hasn't arrived yet.

Both will be reviewed properly once I have a chance to use them a few times.

For now just a cargo basket full of camping equipment.

Did you consider a hard shell tent? Most of those are made for a full 5' bed...

No plans for a hard shell tent. I'm primitive. I do traditional tents when I go camping. Simple 2 pole style.

I have the same ones installed on mine but I haven't cut them yet to shorten them.

How did you do that?

Cut them on my miter saw with a blade made specifically for copper, aluminum, brass, etc.

Basket was delivered today and I had just enough time to put it on before the sun went down. I'll take better pics at some point.

Love the look of this basket. Can you install a tonneau cover under it?

That's a NO.

Awesome, I might buy that blade and cut mine that way too.
