Long story short I've installed explorer roof rack rails on my ranger's camper shell to mount my cargo basket on and the OEM cross bars managed to snap with a spare tire in the cargo basket. The 3 piece design is pretty crappy so im now looking for a stronger alternative so im here to see what explorer owners do when they decide to upgrade their roof rack cross bars.

What my truck looked like about 15 minutes before they failed

and the aftermath... at least I fit in the garage now

Welcome man.

Good to see you over here looking for help and I see you're still going strong.

Its ZWilson07 obviously from the Ranger forums.



The problem is that basket and big tire/wheel combo is just super heavy. You are probably gonna have to come up with some thing a lot more permanent and bolted heavily through your topper.
