Regardless, not a bad basket for $70.00. Mod the U-bolt with better hardware to eliminate any clearance issues... Toss your stuff up there and go have fun. Thanks for a clean and helpful video!
Nice video... Looks way better with the rails. Not sure why they just don’t sell them with them already on like the trail... Especially for that price.... I’ve got one on order and hope to see it in April/May if I can wait that long..:) Thanks for the extra views.👍
Can you assemble the basket without the center section? I've got a Kei truck that I'd like to put a basket on top, and the Japanese baskets are really expensive.
I actually got rid of it and the car. I tried a few roof racks but they were all failures for one reason or another. The car too. I bought a Ford Lightning EV and I LOVE IT
Probably not a lot but during road trips I have my family and dog inside the car. I also want to get an air suspension and upgrade my tires to do a little minor offroading.
James Klafehn there is already a 2 inch lift kit that I’m told should work on the Prime. It works on the 2020 hybrid. The Falken Wildpeak off road tire is in the factory 19 size, I hear that 245 instead of 235 size will work too. I’m very interested to see your off-road setup. I am interested in doing that as well but feel free to be the guinea pig. Look forward to that video.
@@internetabyss I know there are lift kits but I dont want it to be an exclusive offroader. I want to be able to keep it low for better MPG on the highway. An air system would do both. Its crazy expensive though. So share my videos so I can afford to do it. :)
What the distance between the two anchors used to attach the cargo basket to the roof rails? And what are the increments distance between each bar of the cargo basket. I have a car with fixed beam location so I wonder if I could install this cargo basket.
James Klafehn I guess it depends on how much you promote your RUclips channel. I’ve seen a lot of RUclipsrs put more channel graphics on a vehicle than that, but it seems to be their main job. Either way, good luck with your channel, you do interesting videos.
@@andrewbauer4597 Yeah Idk. I still feel weird that I even to this. lol. I rarely tell people in person that I even have a youtube channel. haha Its finally starting to give me some money though so that's nice.
You should check out this guys channel: ruclips.net/user/xHOODLUM760x. He has some great stuff around offroading in his RAV4 TRD. He put a Prinsu rack on his RAV which is an *awesome* rack but it's also a significantly bigger install and not something you can really put on/take off. I love it but I'm thinking it's not a good option for the Prime since it will certainly impact efficiency and is too involved to be swapping it all the time. Thanks for another great test!
Nice video and very helpful! Just a side note, you should move your American flag to the other flagpole off your porch. She always needs to be displayed on the farthest on her right if at the same height of other flags! 🫡🇺🇸

Thank you for watching! Dont forget to hit that thumbs up for me. :)
I wonder if Toyota sells any racks like that custom for each car

Looks good I call them shopping baskets 😁😂
Are those cross bars oem?
2 years after, how's your roof rack basket? just curious. Any rust issues? Noise issue? How did u maintain it?

@@JamesKlafehnwait youbsell your rav4 prime? why? any significant issues?
@@notpastranapastrana2403 Yeah I traded it in on the Ford Lightning. I hated the Prime.
Bro you were testing efficiency in sport mode? 😂👍
How frequently do you plan to put stuff up in that basket??

If you dont mind what it the width of the lower bars?
What the distance between the two anchors used to attach the cargo basket to the roof rails?
And what are the increments distance between each bar of the cargo basket.

The rails are 33" away on center.
You should put your RUclips channel on the front of your basket.
I thought that. Idk. I thought that might be tacky. What do you think?
