I was looking at a Rhino Rack small x-tray when I stumbled upon this made by Apex. It's basically the same thing but $100 cheaper. I got it and some cross bars off of eBay for about $200 total. They were really simple to put on, but aligning to everything so I could use my powered my sky was definitely a challenge. The brackets for the cargo basket sit below the bars and I scraped my roof during a test, but not too badly. It still made me cringe though. After everything what installed I took it for a spin and the whistling was AWFUL. I had my kids with me and my 11 year old said it was so bad at only 30mph it was making his head hurt. Got up to 55 and cars next to me were looking over in concern at the noise. After a bit of trial and error, I realized the noise was coming from the screw knobs used to tighten the cross bars down. I had some old studio foam laying around so I cut it into small pieces to fill the gaps and there is absolutely no noise at all now. I've obviously not loaded the basket up yet but I'm really liking the look it has now. I got a set of Geolandar A/T G015's getting installed next weekend to help fill it put a bit more. Hopefully next month I can get it out camping and take advantage. Below are some pics of everything!

I picked up the same basket and had the same install experience as you did with a small scratch on my MySky panel lol. I plan to change out the bottom piece of the mounting brackets up front so I can move it around. It's pretty loud with the MySky open so I'd like to move it back more towards the rear. Can't wait to see those Yokohama tires. Considering the same ones.
I got the Geolandars installed today. Totally impressed. Once the sun goes down a bit I'm going to snap some pics.
