Has anybody made a lid for the basket on a 1st gen xterra? I'd love to have locking storage for some recovery tools that I don't want to keep in the back of the truck. I'm looking at replacing my tools from the 4runner with a high lift handle all set and want to strap them to the lid with my come along and ropes in the bottom of the bin.

The layout of the 1st Gen basket really isn't made for it, but you could build something that bolts onto the stock holes and goes over top of the basket.

I had a cople of ideas. The 1st would be to bend a sheet of aluminum to match the curve then hinge it on with a clamp from my old 4runners tire carier. The other idea was to retrofit a later model basket on which would also let me use the fairing with the lights on it
