Not too badly priced and they don't hang over the side which I like. I want to steer away from overhang.

Those rails came with my FDII from the factory. I mounted a Yakima Megawarrior basket with four Yakima light mounts using Jeep lights (Hella manufactured with "Jeep" across each lens):

The cross bars are pretty nice and sturdy which was somewhat surprising. The Roof basket came with the wrong instructions and arrived pre-scratched, which was not. Still a pretty good product for the money though.

Reese 48" round crossover bars and Reese cargo basket from walmart. Very happy with this setup. I had to do a little modification to them though. I replaced the harware for the cross bars with stainless steel and I bent the metal tabs on the inside of the rail to fit the patriot roof rails perfectly. I also dipped the inside metal tabs that clamp on the roof rails in plastidip after bending them. Then cutthe square tubing to about 44" so it didnt stick so far out. Painted the cut end and put the plugs back in.

The roof basket received a fresh coat of krylon fusion paint on it after assembly to ensure every square inch was adequately protected from the elements.
