Cargo Basket Recommendation for a Camper Shell on a Toyota Tacoma

Question:

I am ordering a custom steel camper shell from Caravan Camper Shells in Nevada. It will go on the back of my 6foot Bed Toyota Tacoma. The Shell itself will be about 76inch Long and about 60inch wide on the top. I am looking at three of your Cargo Racks but am open to other suggestions as well: 1 Thule MOAB with extension 2 Yakima MegaWarrior with extension 3 One of the longer Rhino Rack Alloy models Any thoughts as to which might work out best? Since my shell is being custom made I can have them put pretty much whatever size and shape cross bars I like, or tracks which would allow pillars to attach aftermarket cross bars. I suspect I am not the first person that has wanted to get a cargo rack for a camper shell so figured I would as what had and had not worked well rather than reinventing the wheel.

I like the Yakima MegaWarrior Extra Large Roof Rack Cargo Basket with Extension part # Y07080-82. This is a big carrier that will have plenty of room for storing cargo that also has a fairing on the front to reduce wind noise and fuel mileage loss.

The dimensions of this basket are 74" long x 48" wide x 6-1/2" tall.
