@ZackHTX The retro fit for the mounting brackets was a bit more than I had planned but it worked out. I had to drill a larger hole in the middle of the bracket so that the t-bolts would fit. I put the brackets on top of a 2x6 and then stood on top so they would not spin as I drilled the large...
Those are for the front wind deflector bar and mounting clips. The 8 bolts for the brackets around the crossbar it does not say what size unfortunately. But based on this it's probably safe to assume M6 as well.
This is perfect idea! Thank you so much. I might just try the T bolts that FooF linked because they are 1" and it looks like it might be around that depth.
Just another quick question how to did you figure out these are M6 bolts? Or are you guessing? I might just order shorter M6 bolts instead...
With that design, would I be using the bottom portion of the mounting bracket, or only the top metal plate?
It seems to me that this would be a faster and easier mounting using one T-bolt per bracket, as opposed to the traditional two.
Any concerns on the roof basket moving/shifting side to side...
I like that idea. Just not sure how I could use those with the design of brackets with this roof basket:

Any idea how to modify the bracket to work with...
I will most likely carry it on the roof basket/rack for road trips. I also plan to purchase this tire storage bag and keep it on hand if I need to place the dirty tire inside the cargo area. When I am not on a road trip I will just keep it stored at the house. If needed locally I can have...
I've scoured the web and can't find this information.
I have the crossbars on order and looking to order a roof basket too. The roof basket manufacturer specified their mounting brackets fit up to 3.5" wide and 0.37-1.02" thick bars.
Can anyone tell me what the rivian bars spec out? I'd like to...
