[QUOTE="hokie_yj, post: 478300, member: 4238"] I crossed a couple more things off the mile long to-do list today. Storage space was pretty much non-existent on this thing so I wanted to add a place to carry a tool bag, cooler, recovery gear, etc. So I picked up a Baja basket from Poly Performance. Here it is sitting in place while I was figuring out the mounting.
