thanks tho, you never did answer me josh, are you playing world of warcraft, halo, or practicing your telemarketer look in your avatar?

At the time my room mate took it without me knowing, and then I found out. I was playing Gears of War 2 at the time (which I suck at so far), but now I'm on Left 4 Dead which scares the bejesus out of me... I'm not big on zombies or scary movies, so it's a lot of "GET AWAY FROM ME! GET AWAY FROM ME! DIE! DIE!" lol. If you have Xbox live shoot me your gamertag and we'll do something, I got Seth's all ready

That's how I was when you meet the flood for the first time in halo. And I love zombie movies.
 












oh yeah just the music gets the pulse going.

And when I first played through "the library" I accidentaly had my tv darkness turned down and didn't know. So if the flashlight wasn't on I couldn't see crap. And the light batt only last so long!

Any way. I think if you can move the rack further back and make it lower it will look much better.
 












I'd get the extention for it. At least it looks better than it would on a four door haha

I personally think mine looks better, but it may be due to the tire that is filling it up like Josh said....
 












I've got the same basket and I like them. I think it looks different because the roof rack bars go farther forward on the sports. If you can get it moved back a little bit, it'll probably look a little better, but keep it anyway!

I just use mine for a light bar. I've only actually carried stuff in the basket once when there were 3 people camping.
 






the narrowness isnt what kills me.. its the length of the basket. i'm going to be looking into getting an extension, until then im gonna move it back as far as i can. although the farther i move it back, the more useless it is as a light bar. hmm, dilemnas.
 






The front of mine sits slightly in front of where the front and rear doors meet. It works just fine for a light bar. I've got 3 spot beam and 2 flood beam ProComp 55W round lights on it.
 












my boss at work told me he would buy the rack off of me for what i paid for it.. then i could start saving up for leaf packs. idk.. ill mess with it tomorrow when its daylight and see what i come up with.
 






I realize it's an old thread but I was wondering what you ended up doing as I am looking for a cargo basket for my sport as well. Was yours a load warrior? Because I am trying to decide between a load warrior or mega warrior as I'm not sure if a mega warrior would be too big or not.
 






i would say that you should keep it. but what i would do is move it back and get rid of the windshield to make room for some lights. i have the same short style on my sport and i like the way it looks. what i did was put it in the middle of the rails that the risers sit in. here's a few pics, basically the front lights are even with the back of the door.

i sold it to my boss at work.. who left it at work, and it is just laying there. hmm.. maybe ill borrow it lol but nah, it was wayyyyyyy too narrow and small.. if youre going to get one at least go with the megawarrior.
