Today we're going to be taking a look at, and showing you how to install, the Rhino Rack roof mounted steel cargo basket, part number RNCB02. This extra large roof top cargo basket is great for transporting your luggage, your sporting goods equipment, or your camping equipment, and to keep it out of your vehicle to make more space for you and your family as you travel. It's also good for keeping anything damp or dirty that you don't want to have in your vehicle, as well. With it loaded onto our vehicle here, you can see that you don't have to remove the antenna in the back, and we have plenty of clearance between the hatch itself, and the cargo basket. The basket does come with a fairing, and that's going to cut down your wind noise, and drag. It also has a universal mounting kit that can fit arrow, elliptical, most factory bars, and square bars. However, this will not work with Rhino Rack's heavy duty bars. Now, for the overall dimensions, it's going to be 57 inches long, by 42 13/16 inches wide, by 5 7/8 inches tall.
Now, the interior dimensions are going to be 53 inches long, by 39 1/4 wide. To ensure that your cross bars don't get damaged while installing it, the mounting kits themselves are padded. Now, this does have a carrying capacity of 165 pounds. Although, you want to double check with your vehicle's manual to make sure it can withstand that kind of weight on the roof. This cargo basket can work with crossbar spreads between 25 1/2 inches to 43 inches. Now, the crossbar spread is the measurement from center, to center of the bars.
This is made from a heavy duty steel construction, and has a black powder coat finish, which will resist corrosion. It also has a limited warranty. Those who have bought the Rhino rack cargo basket, have also been taking a look at the roller cargo basket. Now, there's a few differences here, mainly being in carrying capacities. While the roller can carry about 130 pounds, this can carry 165 pounds, and just has a greater amount of space to work with on your roof. The biggest different between them is going to be the price, where this is slightly more expense, but with that cost, you do get a little more bang for your buck. Now that we've gone over some of the features, we'll show you how it installs.
We'll first take the cargo basket, and set it onto our roof rack. There's really no set position at this point, we just want to get it on, and get it as straight as possible, because we don't want it crooked when we tighten it down. Now, we'll go ahead and start installing our mounting kit. We'll this piece which will sit at the top of our roof rack, lift up a little bit, and place it in between these two bars up on the top. We'll repeat this for the other ones as well. Now, we'll take top part of our mounting kit, and place that where the bracket we just put in place, just push down, and the two tabs will poke through.
We'll repeat this for the other kits as well. Next, we'll install the rest of our mounting kit. We'll install this bottom part, here. To do that, we'll have to put these two screws up through the top plate and then screw them into the bottom part of the mounting kit. Line up the holes with the two screws, and then tighten them down, using the included Alan tool. Go back and forth in tightening these down, so it tightens a little evenly. We get it nice and snug up against the roof rack, then we'll repeat this process for the other mounting kits. Now that we've got our roof basket secured to your roof rack, we can load it up with our gear. You can tie it down with a number of things, anywhere from Rhino rack straps, to your basic cam buckle straps. There you have it for the Rhino rack roof mounted steel cargo basket, part number RNCB02.

Functioned very well over a 29 day, 11,700 mile road trip. A lot of miles along very rough Alaska highways. Top quality construction, but light weight. 608719
Strong rack, holds my spare 33" tire. Mad Max ready! 189493
what did you use to mount the tire to the rack? I am looking for a similar setup for my 1996 Cherokee Classic.Thanks
-- comment by: 1996 C - 09/10/2015Easy to install, mostly cross bar attac hment. 477817
I purchased the Rhino Rack Vortex SX crossbar systems for my 2014 Jeep Cherokee Trail Hawk with factory raised rails and panoramic roof. The crossbar systems are well away from the panoramic sunroof and poise no issues or touching with the sunroof opening or closing. When the sunroof opens, it drops down and slides back, again never touching any part of the Vortex SX rails or feet. Then I added Rhino-Rack Roof Mounted Steel Cargo Basket/XTray Large measuring 57" Long x 42" Wide. Both were easy to install, very stylish, and practical. I did a lot research for cross rails and cargo basket and I am very pleased with Rhino Rack Vortex SX crossbar and the Rhino-Rack Roof Cargo Basket from eTrailer.com 168699
This roof basket is very well constructed and it looks awesome on my 2004 z71 Tahoe. I would recommend it over any other roof basket. Only took me 20 minutes to put together and install. 222489
Awesome
Blayze P - 08/27/2016Great product. Great quality. Instructions not real clear, so took me a couple of hours to assemble. Then another 15-20 minutes to secure to roof racks. I was working alone, extra hands would have helped. But extremely happy with quality and looks of product. We have lots of family that visit us, so I plan to carry luggage on the rack to free up space inside the vehicle on trips to and from the airport. 516282
I bought this product because it was the size I wanted and I liked the looks, can't wait for the next excursion. I ordered it on Friday 6/29/18, scheduled delivery date was Thursday 7/5/18 received it on Tuesday 7/3/18 in four days, over the weekend and the day before a holiday. etrailer has my business. Thanks 530048
Item came within a week. Quality is excellent and very durable, the powder-coat finish is topnotch, my son scratch it with a metal philip screw, and it was still black under the outter coating. Easy to assemble and install, if you follow the instruction manual properly. The only tricky part was the rubber sleeve that goes between the bars of the rack when assembling, and measurements when putting it on top of your vehicle. I installed this today all by myself, it wasnt easy but totally do-able just one person. The cargo basket had few minor (like 3) scuffs and dents, but none are noticeable. I am not worried about it too much, I worked at a warehouse and items will get minor unnoticeable dents and scuffs here and there due to movement of the item to differnet storages. It happens to all the products in the world. Over all I am very and over satisfied with this item, I bought it during sale for [$$$.$$]! I have a jeep renegade 2016, and I bought the Large size. Dont get the small one, itll look weird on your renegade. 353678

Here are pix after installing the XL 57x42 Rhino Rack on my 2013 Subaru Outback 413368
This review is about the install as I have not put the rack to its full use yet. I will update it after I finish installing the radar and weather instruments and have used it through storm season. I can say that this basket is very strongly constructed look like it will be very stable. The actual attachment of the basket to the rails was something of an issue as my rails sit about 7' off the ground and the bottom brackets for the attachment assemblies just did not want to go together very well. However, in the end we got them all installed (with the help of my daughter) and everything seems to be very solidly attached. 641562
Really like this rack. Very easy to assemble and mount to my car. This is the only one that has adjustable mounts that run vertically. This made mounting it to my 2018 Explorer very easy as the cross bars are fixed position at 39". 635399
1. Terrible Instructions. 2. Good Customer Service with etrailer. 3. Build Quality looks to be there. 4. Not sure product is worth the price? 607306
I am extremely happy with the Rhino-Rack that we got from you. It was very easy to install and I was able to get it done in just a couple of hours. It arrived in just a few days all the way to Hawaii. Very impressed with the whole process. I would highly recommended this product and will be shopping for more things for our car with etrailer. Tim C. thank you for your excellent service. 598003
Easy to assemble and works great. The rack is very solid. 591148
Good product. I have it on my RV tow vehicle and use it for extra “stuff” that we take with us. 584700
Installation of the Rhino Rack was straightforward with the detailed instructions. The online installation videos and product overview were very helpful in making the purchase and in giving me the comfort level knowing I could install the rack on my own. We're extremely pleased with the unique and rugged look of the Rhino Rack compared to others on the market. The customer service and ordering process were excellent. 553486
Item is excellent and high quality and durable, easy to assemble. Over all this cool looking roof basket looks good on my 2002 Chevy Silverado . Thank you for this awesome product and yes Crystal K customer service representative etrailer is very knowledgeable and professional. 541564
Excellent rack...easy to assemble and mount. High quality. Looks good. Love that 539300
great look 476991
Great roof basket with plenty of room to fit almost anything, without looking too bulky. 457930
One year and counting for our awesome Rhino Rack. Not too hard to assemble onto the car. Once done, you can forget about it except to enjoy. It's sturdy, very attractive on our Subaru and the quality still shows after a year. We would absolutely buy this again! 450859
This rack has held up nicely. It's been on the vehicle for a year, and it's usually parked outside. The finish still looks good! I love the look of this rack so much, I want another one for my Sierra pick up. I'm just waiting for a good sale on the rack and crossbars to buy a second one for my truck. 436853
Easy to order, arrived as indicated on tracking information. Quality an look are as described only thing is manufactures instructions are a bit vague but easy to figure out. Overall really like the way it looks on my 17 soul. 419924
Bought several cheaper baskets and was diappointed. I could see the difference in quality as soon as i unpacked it. The fit was better, the weight was noticeably heavier. You get what you pay for. 417436
Adds noise (A lot if you have a panoramic moon roof like I do) to the ride. But this unit is strong and it looks amazing. 406993
I would like to first say awesome customer service. Very nice and kind. I ordered all the way from Alaska and it still arrived here quickly especially for shipping to Alaska. Pretty straight forward install. I haven't used it yet but I will be in about a month when I move down south and drive through Canada. Excited to see what it can hold. Thanks again for the awesome cargo rack. 397680
Owned for about a year and has been wonderful. We ordered a net style bungee on [site] for about $10 and it's super easy to tie things down. My only complaint is taking the basket on and off. I don't like it on all the time because of the wind noise it creates, and in order to take it on and off you need to use an allen wrench. It would be much easier if it just clipped or snapped on the racks. But overall, for the price, it does exactly what we needed it for. 353332
The product is very nice. Very well built 340357
Easy to assemble, strong and sturdy, heavy so have someone help you put it on the roof rack of a car. 305935
Excellent rack...easy to assemble and mount. High quality. Looks good. Love that (unlike most racks) the floor rails run along the length of the vehicle. That makes the positioning of the mounting clamps infinitely adjustable instead of step-wise jumping from bar-to-bar for those with floor rails that go the other direction. This made it possible to mount on my fixed-spacing roof rails. I just bought a second, smaller one, for my tow vehicle! 296395
The roof rack came arrived in great condition with no flaws. All parts were included and assembly was easy. Etrailer did a great job of communicating shipping, etc with me. Highly recommend as I like the new look and function! 290839
Just received my rack I put it together and love it!!!!!. Although the instructions leave little to desire. 277035
Was difficult to put together. The poles didn't line up to put the front and rear halves of the basket together. I had to use ratchet straps to pull everything together. Also, there were large sections where the paint was scratched off. Looks good and built well other than the assembly and paint issues 261132
The Rhino Rack was very easy to assemble , good quality and light enough to handle by yourself . The powdercoat surface was a little nicked up but nothing a few shots of flat back paint couldnt fix. I would recommend this product. 223674
Easy to navigate website, fast checkout, and even faster shipping. Would definitely purchase from them again! 210989
I received my RhinoRack very quickly, ordered it on Monday night and got it Friday! Going to take it to Island Beach State Park this weekend and try it out, looks great! This is very sturdy! 195106
I shopped all over the internet and finally purchased the Rhino-Rack from e-trailer.com It arrived in a few days and I could not be happier with the product, service and value I received from e-trailer. Thank You 184439
The carrier is doing fine and I am very happy with your service and follow up. Thanks
Rob - 04/11/2016Thank you for great service. 167394
I was so pleased with etrailer. Loved the free shipping and it came in 3 days. Couldn't be any happier. Product is high quality and looks great on my 3/4 ton. Thanks! 148683
Very quick shipping and well packaged roof rack. Easily goes together. As I did not want to use my truck roof rack to mount the Rhino, I had to make my own supports. Like that this basket is not just like the "50" others on the market. 148243
Received the rack quickly! Relatively easy to install on Land Rover LR3 factory crossbars. The only complaint is that it's time consuming to tighten the bolts with the provided allen wrench. It's a bit difficult to consistently turn in the bolt without the wrench slipping out. The upside is that the it's difficult to maintain in the bolt because of a design that acts as a security feature. There is an indentation in the middle of the wrench which prevents someone using a standard allen wrench to remove the rack. Overall, very satisfied with looks and function. 146513
Besides that there are some marks on it it fit perfect and looks amazing. Definitely will recommend this carrier !! Thanku e-trailer!! 133066
