Hey Stephen, thanks for reaching out!

Yes, the Gutter Mount Adapter # SU72VR is exactly what you'd need to get a Safari Roof Basket like the 50" Long x 50" Wide Rack # S5050 installed on your 1988 Suzuki Samurai with the gutter mounts.

Hey Stephen, how did the gutter mount adapter work out on your Suzuki Samurai? Did the cargo basket fit the way you wanted on the drip rails? Your update could make it easier for the next person setting up a similar rack.

@SamuelC Seems to have worked fine. I changed the fasteners out to stainless steel and used stainless steel washers and stainless steel nylok nuts.
