Upper Boot Basket Overland
Received my overland adventures upper book basket Friday afternoon, fitted in minutes. Really good product, extremely good build quality down to the mesh corners being curved instead of just folding amd welding. Very easy fit. Will be bolting my taffic manager to it next. And most importantly when closed it has such a good fit that you dont get any rattles!
You also cannot see it when looking in your rear view mirror so nice and tidy without seeing a cage behind you.

Really easy, you remove the handles either side and this screws back in straight to where they were. No additional holes or mess, and literally nothing to physically modify other than removing the handles which in reality aren't needed in the boot even with the 2 seats in use.

Cool not coming down from there on it’s own, then. Do you have any idea how much weight it can support?

Been advised its 5kg. However the grab handles are rated to 9stone each so 5kg is very underestimated to be safe, im sure as long as its loaded correctly you could go well above this.

Make sure you start at the back of the basket (closest the front of car) and have someone to help you hold it up on the opposite side or you'll struggle! Other than that its lovely.

I nearly bought one of these myself, then discovered that a friend had a Terrafirma one going spare for a reasonable price
