I am about to order this rack and I was wondering if anyone has any opinions or feedback on it ?

Wilderness Toyota FJ Cruiser Adventure Roof Racks 4x4 Off-Road Storage Systems

Price is $595 which seems reasonable.

I'm curious also. I'm debating between the Adventure (smaller version) and the BAJA drop in basket.

I'm guessing you've done research on the cost of this versus a full replacement? Looks like a good option if you just want to 'fix' the OEM half-a-rack. I know Garvin's got a good reputation amongst the J##p crowd. I'd rather have more crossbars or a mesh floor, myself. Looks like a good load would cause those long bars to sag in the middle, and I know there's probably not much clearance below given the FJ's heavily curved roof top.

I've had their Adventure Rack installed on my FJ for about 4 years or so (I think it was originally designated as a Wilderness Trail rack, or something along those lines). It's very nice although I've never actually utilized it for storing anything up top. I will offer the caveat that (at least on mine) the mounting hardware (bolts primarily) were nowhere near strong enough. I had to have Garvin ship me replacements since the original units were pretty much unusable if you tightened them, loosened them and then re-tightened them. Surely they've rectified that by now.

I was thinking about maybe putting my own mesh in or under the rack.

I have the full racks for my FJC and FJ60. I know these are slightly different than the inserts you are looking at. Nevertheless, the quality of these racks is high. They are very strong. I walk around up top without any problems when adjusting cargo or drying the roof and the selection of accessories to mount various items, from Hi-Lift to Thule/Yakima bars is the best. Just a plug from one satisfied customer. I know Garvins are less popular here than the "usual" Gobis, Bajaracks, and others, but I would definitely recommend them.

i was thinking about a gobi rr but i dont really use my roof rack for anything more then the weekend camping trip. i saw this garvin basket and it seems like i am going to get the long drop in basket(someday) its less money yes but it looks like it will work well and maybe see about adding some mesh on the floor.

I purchased the adventure rack about 3 years ago also and vary happy with it. I adapted some lights on mine.:wave:
