Today we have with us a 2008 Toyota RAV4 and were going to be test fitting the Yakima Forklift Roof-Mounted bike carrier, part number Y02098. Our RAV4 is equipped with a full factory roof rack, so were going to attach our forklift directly to the factory crossbars. Well pick up the carrier and lay it up on top of our crossbars. Well fit the front clamp around the front crossbar. Well use the T-bolt and wing nut to tighten down the front clamp. Once weve done that, we can slide our cover back into place and re-install our skewer.
Then well move to the back, fit the clamp at the rear of the bike carrier around our rear crossbar and again use a T-bolt and wing nut to tighten it down. With that done, were ready to load up our bicycle. We need to make sure that the skewers open at the front of the bike rack and that the wheel strap at the rear of the carrier is also open. Well pickup our bike, sit the rear wheel into the wheel tray and drop the front fork down into the skewer. Well secure the bike first by the skewer then move back and use the wheel strap to secure the rear.
With that done, our bike is all loaded up and were ready to hit the road. Thats it for our test fit of the Yakima Forklift Roof-Mounted bike carrier, part number Y02098 on our 2008 Toyota RAV4.
