Bkillazrallying Posted October 28, 2004 Share Posted October 28, 2004 Ok, I was looking in the photo gallery, and I noticed all of the cars with the light bar on top, and the basket up on top with the full size spare in it. Where can I find a basket like that, that might fit the top of a 93 subaru legacy. If so, how much do they usually run? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bkillazrallying Posted October 28, 2004 Author Share Posted October 28, 2004 no, i dont have the factory roof rack... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JT95 Posted October 29, 2004 Share Posted October 29, 2004 Check with local salvage yards for a complete roof rack if you want to go factory--tons cheaper. However, I have no experience with putting a factory roof rack on a Subie that did not come with one from the factory, so some other folks here might be able to shed some light on that... (In fact, I might be able to get you one of a '94 Legacy wagon--if yours is a wagon.) If aftermarket, I'd go with a Yakima system. (That's what my wife has on her Volvo) They have a few of the baskets to choose from: http://www.yakima.com/home.html Check your local bicycle shop--they should be able to rig you with the whole setup.

rweddy Posted October 29, 2004 Share Posted October 29, 2004 no, i dont have the factory roof rack... Then I would go with a Thule set up. I used to sell used racks on ebay, and all the Thule racks I would pick up even after 20 years were in great shape. Yakima rust after just a few years. Look on ebay for a rack and basket or find a local used rack place where you live. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JT95 Posted October 29, 2004 Share Posted October 29, 2004 Thule does make great stuff. I just said Yakima because their stuff seems to be more popular and thus cheaper to find. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SubaSkeet Posted October 29, 2004 Share Posted October 29, 2004 there are a couple of guys on the board that fab most of those racks you see on the heavy offroaders' cars. i know john (mudrat79) makes them and tony (soobme) makes them (but i havent got a hold of tony in a while). cheaper than buying from thule/yakima/etc. and just as durable. plus, built to specification. good luck, skeet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
