    Ya you can have them. I'm missing a mounting bolt from each one btw but 2 will hold them on or you can pick up 2 bolts. I'll clean them up and paint the centers black (they have Honda emblems on them lol). Just pay shipping and they are yours. You could always mount a stock trooper rack to the roof (drill a few holes) and attach a basket to that.

    Sweet. I am always hesitant to drill holes in the roof. Future leaks and whatnot.
    Let me know what to send you, I will paypal you.

    I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them.

    DANG...I DO the camaraderie around this here place... ( sorry trek, there I go again...)

    Good on you Dude...

    As an aside experience...

    I once drove an 86 Troop turbo D as my work truck.
    One day, after installing a storm door on a house, I was headed back to the shop with the old door destined for the dumpster.

    On an overpass, a gust of wind caught the door, which had been ratchet strapped to the factory rack, & sailed it neary 50 yds into the ditch.

    Never heard or felt anything, didn't know I had a bare nekkid roof until I got back to the shop & went to unload the door...

    Replaced the stock rack with one of these...http://www.americanvan.com/ladder-ra...upports-1.html (had to cut the width a bit to make it fit)

    No more problem.

    I am thinking a low profile safari style rack(almost flush on the roof) and some waffle boards, I love this look:
