Default Dimensions of the Kargo Master Roof Rack?

I am looking for the distance between the front and rear cross bars on the Kargo Master rack for the four door JK. I hope to find a cargo basket that will closely match this measurement.

Sorry...I saw this and remembered that you PM'd me on this the other day. I just ran out and measured it and it's 84".
Where are you located??? My Kargo Master is for sale. It's listed on the "For Sale" section.

I am in Colorado. Why are you selling the rack? Are you unhappy with it?

I like the look, but it needs to be cut down a little bit, and probably tucked in a little closer to the body on the back end. It is probably the right height for the soft top, but I don't ever intend to use my soft top. It creates this crazy vortex between the rack and the body which creates an enormous amount of drag. If it wasn't my daily driving vehicle (3000 miles/month +) I wouldn't worry much about it, but it has cut down on the MPG pretty significantly. The height also keeps me from being able to attach anything to the top and still fit it in my garage, and my JK only has a couple inches of lift and 33" tires, not all that much overall lift. I'm going with the Yakima tracks that will be bolted onto the roof. I already have all the other Yakima equipment: bars, bike racks, snowboard racks, Mega Warrior, kayak stacker, etc... so I think this option is gonna work a little better for me.
