Recommended Cargo Basket for 2011 Nissan with Rhino Rack Crossbars

Question:

I would like to know if the Rola Roof Mounted Cargo Basket will fit on the 54inch Roof Rack on a 2011 Frontier Crew Cab. Anything to note about this setup? How high above the roof line will the Rola basket be?

I would recommend the Rhino Rack Cargo Basket, part # RMCB which would be compatible with the Rhino Rack Crossbars you mentioned.

The Rola Roof Rack, # 59504 will fit crossbars up to 3-1/4 inches wide, the mounting brackets could not accommodate the wider 3-1/2 inch width of the Rhino Rack Aero Crossbars.

The bottom of the RMCB would sit directly on top of the crossbars. The crossbars would be approximately 5-1/4 inches high, from the top of the vehicle to the top of the crossbar. The basket is 7-4/5 inches tall, which would place the top of the basket approximately 12-1/3 inches above the roof of your Frontier.
