Okay dumb question. Most Safari racks I have seen are just simple racks with no means to attach them to a vehicle roof, instead relying on some sort of support such as an existing roof rack.
I am needing something more along the lines of a mounts TO the truck type attachment since my truck doesn't have a roof rack.
It might be easier to get advice for what I am trying to do if I just get straight to the point...
#1. My truck is a 2004 F150 Supercab XLT 4x4, no sunroof. No roof rack, nor do I know of any roof racks ever available for these.
#2. I am trying to end up with a Safari style cargo basket / rack that will in turn have a cargo bag inside it to hold soft goods,
#3. I would need to be able to mount a CB antenna to this, I suspect an old school antenna mount clamp would do, but I would need to route ground from there... This is to comply with both my 4x4, and hunt club rules. Mostly the same guys...
#4. I would like / need a fairing / wind deflector that would basically extend the rake of the windshield further and push airflow over the cargo bag, and keep air from smashing into the front of a tall contractor style camper shell / cap.
#5. The sides of the safari rack should have provisioning for holding recovery tools such as traction boards, Hi Lift jack etc...
What I have come accross so far is something called a Rhino Rack 2 bar roof rack system, and then a Safari rack which seems to be a "Universal Fit" kind of ordeal.
Is there a more proper made to fit off teh shelf solution?
