It looks like uncle sam is going to be nice to me this year. So I'm looking at getting a roof top basket to carry a gas/water can, supplies and shovel (so I can sleep in the back of my 4runner). Those who are running the Thule or Yakima setup did you just attach the basket to factory rails or did you get a foot pack that would fit in the factory rails. Possible also running another set of lights on top.

I know costco and coleman make as well. What else can you guys suggest to me.
