Aiba Works alloy basket from a Pajero. You will probably need to widen the mounting brackets if fitting to a tin top. Easily done though.

Have a look at Greg's in this thread. https://club8090.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=109615

They turn up regularly on ebay. Go for between £70 and £100. Search under "Pajero rack" or "Shogun rack". I think you need the rectangular one rather than the square one - maybe someone can confirm that?

The rack measures approx 50 x 47 inch at its basket, so yes, not quite square I guess. Don't ask me to go back out measure it at the brackets. Its far too cold.....brrrrrrr....ask Tom ;-)

Think that answers one of your old PM's also tforthurton! Slacking on the turn around time I know...

It is really useful, but I think I need a ladder also. It's easy to throw heavy stuff up there but a bit more difficult to balance on the wheel and get it out. The front bars are just commercial roof bars from Halfords. I liked them as they sat a bit higher than most and feel up to carrying my 9.5ft longboard.

I did wonder about that, when I was looking at your post with the pictures. Tought maybe you stood on the rear wheel. I've got a ladder in the shed, waiting to go on the bus. And a wheel carrier too. One day I'll get round to putting them on.
