Kudos to MudlovingFJ for this one!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
"i ended up using the plastic mounting 'things' that came with the basket. i snugly fit them onto the sides of the rails of the basket and used (8) 1&3/4"X5/16" u-bolts (long ones) to mount them to the factory rack" -MudlovingFJ
I did the same and here are my pics. I found that it fit so snug I only needed to use 4 U-Bolts. I'm in the process of testing mountings for my shovel, axe and hi-lift Jack.
I used (Walmart) ColorPlace RustControl Satin all over the Coleman rack and the U-bolts. It color matched the OEM Rack very well!! I sprayed the hell out of it and all the connection points.
I got the Coleman to sit pretty low and pushed it back far. Ya I scratched the OEM rack, but its gonna happen anyway when I start packing stuff on top.
I want the axe and shovel to look a bit cleaner, so I'll end up trying other ways to attach them.
Again THX MudLovingFJ!!!!

The OME rack is alum. tube. So don't worry about the rust. Safetydave the clearence looks so tight, I can only wonder if you could do well placed hammer blows and make up for the clearence issue. What do you think ? In my opinion it looks better then the Garvin rack. I like it

The coleman rack however is not aluminum. It is steel and other members have had issues with rust.
Safetydave: how did you get that thing to sit back so far? Did you just push it really hard? It looked like it rubbed some coating off the factory rack.
That looks great, and more importantly, very functional.
