Default install of Rola 59504 Vortex Roof Mounted Cargo Basket

So I bought a Rola 59504 Vortex Roof Mounted Cargo Basket with extender to install in place of my standard canopy.

The Why: To have a place to throw misc hunting gear and mount front and rear 20" led light bars.

Has anyone done something similar?

I know I need to manage the sun. I will probably weld it in place. Other than being a touch crazy anything to worry about?

I know you guys like visual stuff. ..so here's the picture. I'm 90% thinking to remove the plastic top and weld in the rack. Thoughts. ...

You could find a thin (0<.25") piece of black plastic and screw/bolt/lash it into place in the bottom of the rack. It would keep the sun out and you'd have a place to mount a gun rack from the roof under the cover of the plastic

I picked up some garage floor mat (6' x 3') from autozone. Worked perfectly. Used zip ties for securing.
