Yakima LoadWarrior Medium Sized Heavy Duty Steel Cargo Basket Roof Rack with Universal Mounting Hardware for All Yakima StreamLine Crossbars, Black

I have always loved the look of this rack on xterras and finally bought one once I needed extra storage space. I really wish I would have ordered the cargo net at the same time but glad I didn't order the locks (I feel pretty confident it wont get stolen knock on wood). Since I didn't have the net in time I did not end up using the rack for what I intended for because the bungees I had just didn't make me feel comfortable. Putting the rack together in the warm house was a breeze. It is very simple and just needed 4 screws. However once I was ready to install it on the actual car is another story. It was not my smartest decision to buy and install this thing in the heart of winter.Keep in mind you will lose the ability to park in the garage if you have a taller car like mine already is, so it had to be installed outside. The directions are absolutely useless for showing you how to actually put it on your car. I had to watch a youtube video and look up pictures online to what should have been the simplest thing ever. Once I figured it out it was a very easy process and lining it up in the center (front and sides) took longer than tightening it to my crossbars. It is well built and the hardware that holds it on is very well designed and made. The wind noise is not an issue, maybe 5% louder than it already was. I avoid parking garages like the plague since I haven't measured the true height yet. Worth the extra money for sure, I was comparing to the curt but the reviews on rust dripping lost me. My Yakima rack has been thru 2 snow melts and a few rainstorms and still looks brand new.One more feature I like is that the wind fairing in front folds down to accmmodate things such as long lumber.

Great great rack, I purchased this rack a week ago, haven't gotten a chance to use it yet, but it is mounted to my 03 Jeep Liberty, fits it perfectly, rides right behind the sun roof and man is it quite, haven't hauled anything around in it yet, will do that when i move down to Georgia next week. I drove close to 300 miles with it on, on the freeway doing 75, not a sound, and didn't see any reduced gas mileage, I'm sure both will come next week. Sturdy construction, putting it together and mounting it was a snap, just follow the included documents and you can't go wrong. I have all yakima hardware, the lowrider towers, and 58" crossbars, along with a powderhound, they are all great products, sturdy construction, and the powdercoat is nice and thick and can take a beating, yakima makes a good product, you really cant go wrong with this basket if you don't mind the noise increase and slight drop in gas mileage. Definitely recommend!

This rack was made with excellent craftsmanship and quality. I also got the extension that came with the accessory bar. I waited until I received the extension before I put the whole rack together. At first I thought it didn't come with the farer or a couple screws but then realized the farer had slipped out and was hidden in the box. Also the screws were pre screwed into the rack itself. I used this to drive 7 hrs to move to a new state. It worked beautifully and looked amazing on my truck. Unfortunately a few weeks after I moved to my new city someone stole the entire rack from off my truck in the middle of the night! This was my fault because I didn't buy the $70 Yakima lock (which is a very simple device) because they didn't sell them on Amazon and they were out of stock (still are as of writing this) on their website. It was a bummer but a learning lesson as well. Don't make the same mistake I did! Yakima makes great products (although their customer service could use a bit of sunshine lol!)! Not their fault but I wish they included the lock with the cargo rack for customers. I liked the rack so much that I am going to buy it again with the extension PLUS lock very soon.

Love the look of this on my 2019 Subaru Crosstrek! Purchased OEM bars and installed the crossbars and the basket on the same day. The OEM bars had to be spaced differently than the install instructions. This made for a fun time tweaking everything but all turned out well in the end. Just took longer than it should have. Also, as another reviewer and owner of a Crosstrek mentioned, you will have to install the 2 back brackets on the inside instead of the outside-You’ll know. I wish I had read that prior as I had to reinstall the brackets the next day and tweak the crossbars again. 😏 The directions could be better, I’m OCD. Oh, also I recommend the locking brackets. It’s not a sure thing but it’s better than nothing at all and otherwise is very easy to screw off the wing nuts. But geez, those locks are expensive but probably better than a new basket and they are simple to put on. Looks good. Sturdy and functional. Will give us a ton of extra room for road trips and everyday things. Also purchased a net and a waterproof bag for the basket that stays in the car RTG. Overall, I’m very satisfied with this purchase. You pay a little more but it looks awesome and you get what you pay for!!

Well it’s 5 years later since the basket was installed. It has aged well, the hardware has rusted somewhat. BUT the fasteners still function. Can’t beat the quality !Purchased the rack last week, waited for the accessories to arrive before assembling the entire unit and installing it on my 2016 Canyon. It fit the Thule Cross Rails prefectly and looks great atop my truck. My wife and I are planning some long trips and the rack WILL definitely encrease the cargo capacity of my truck. Mounting the "Light Kit" was a bit of a struggle due to what I beleive is that the bolts a tad too short . That is about the only knock I can give it. Am not going to lower due to the bolts. Well done Yakima !Have had the rack atop my truck for quite some time now, it's been out in all types of weather, heat, cold, snow, sun and severe weather. Has yet to show signs of wear or the hardware loosen. Had it loaded a few times with gear and got the job done ! It's also the home of my 30" LED Light Bar and two Jerry Cans for extra gas.
