I did get the Honda basket and I’m a Thule fan but I like the smaller size better with the kids stuff and our bike tires so we will be pretty limited on the inside space and it’s generous / I’m height challenge at 5’ 7” so hope there is a ladder for me when I get to the middle of nowhere and when all of this snow melts ?

I got my basket from here / way better price than the dealer and they wanted more money to install, as if ?? I will take measurements when it comes

Great idea, I do use a Thule Step Up if needed but usually an open door with running boards works well with boards and skis just no bikes or kayaks as trailer action then for this one

Ah, sorry. Thought you had it already. But please post when it arrives.

My guess it's this version of the Thule basket:

I’m thinking it’s the same basket too / I paid 230 so it was cheaper than the Thule ?

Yeah it came last week and it’s sitting in my garage in the box still it’s just been cold / I need a heated garage but will try to take the measurements before leaving tomorrow afternoon

Great reminder / I use a Thule step up and have forever with my height challenged 5 7 lol/it’s good for skis, boards and basic gear / anything heavier is tossed on the Trailer / the days of carrying bikes and kayaks on the top is over for this one ?

Scooter Dude -- receive the roof basket yet?

Hey guy finally took some rough measurements in the garage (TMI but into wood working and so can’t wait for it to warm up as I have a few projects lined up ?) ok back to the roof basket.

40” wide max upper bar
50” long max

These are rough measurements as taken from my floor on the garage but seems plenty big enough for my gear - this isn’t on my PP yet.

There were a couple of obvious reminders on my assembly instructions like donet drive over 80 with the basket on and don’t go into an automatic car wash - duh ? but maybe there r peeps out there that r dim bulbs lol

Anyways, wanted to put it on the PP as I have the bug now ?/leaving in a few hours with the familia to head up north with the PP and hope we have good gas mileage / there is on off road park close by and may take a son and play and will report back ?

Cheers

I got two of the step hooks off Amazon and they work great with the Passport. We already have a small step toward the rear of the back door that's perfect for stepping up on the step hook. If you're doing any form of roof storage, I recommend it.

Think I need this too as I recently looked at the basket and thought about this on the drive up so will pick one up from ur link so really wanted to say thx as great idea ??

Anyone with the roof basket installed, can you tell what the height of the passport is now? Worried about garage clearance.

Im installing mine with my son in a few hours, finally, as it’s still a little chilly out (low 50s) / I will try to take a measurement and report back

 

[margaret17]

Got the Honda basket added (looks good) and couldn’t take an accurate measurement with it on - it is the same as the Thule 49x40x6
