It's just gonna be a large basket, so your items can get piled up on top of it, but you do have to be mindful that since it is open to the elements, you have to be considerate of those elements and making sure that everything is strapped down. So if that's something that you're interested in, let's take a look.

This is how much space you have left over for those other accessories. Now, I do have this on 60 inch long Yakima bars, and we have it on the overhang of those bars, but even if we had a roof rack without overhang, there'd still be room left over for those other accessories.
