Heavy-duty cargo basket has a narrow design so you can transport gear while leaving room on your crossbars for bikes, boats, boards, or even a rooftop tent. Lockable, universal mounting system.Rack was exactly what I expected. Excellent quality and very sturdy. Only drawback was the package with the T bolts and carriage bolts were not in the bag with the mounting brackets. etrailer took care of the problem immediately.
I’m very happy with the quality of both the roof basket and the Roadshower. The customer service as well as delivery were excellent! They look great on my truck and I’m ready to hit the open road.
Works great. Extra hardware included would be nice since the T-bolts are specialty. Does a great job not rusting despite me using it in the snow to haul sports equipment that likes to shuffle around and try to scrape paint off. It's really nice to be able to throw extensions in to lengthen it as well.
This Yakima Skinny rack splits roof duty with my Rhino Fishing Rack. Both quality items.
Great customer service!
This is the perfect rack for the 2021-2023 Subaru Outback Wilderness! Very Well Made! Perfect size without the extension, allowing the trunk to be opened without obstruction!
My only grievance is the knobs used to “lock” it down. I understand the reasoning of being able to have a tool-less removal, but I think most would prefer to have a bit more security INCLUDED, where the knob system can be used as a “key” then removed leaving just a three sided nut or something unusual that most folks don’t have in their toolkit. As it stands now, anyone can just see the knobs and figure out they can just unscrew and steal your set-up (see supportive pictures). My advice: Be prepared to take the $75 plunge and buy ONE SET of locking brackets. MY thoughts: you can probably get away with one set of two brackets to lock it down. I put mine diagonally, one in front and one in the rear to HELP protect the whole setup. Just my 2 cents!
With all that said, this is NO FAULT OF ETRAILER. They provided EXCELLENT Customer service and I received ALL THREE ITEMS ON THE SAME DAY (within 3 days of order) AND IN PERFECT CONDITION! A+++
This is a nice little basket. We keep it on the car year-round and only use it during the drier seasons. I haven't really noticed any wind noise unless the objects we placed in it are creating resistance. We originally used straps to secure our cargo but now we use bungee cords; it's just faster and easier. We keep a folding step stool in the car since neither me nor my wife are tall enough to access the basket without help.
Great service fast shipping very easy at etrailer product was exceptional. Easy install with quality products
The basket was delivered fast and received undamaged and no missing parts. Really a very clean, rugged looking piece of equipment. Easy to put together and install..,Just took longer than expected. Looks great on my Outback W.Edt.
Hey there,
I absolutely love my roof rack system. It served me well last summer for multiple camping and mountain biking trips. Can't wait to use it on more adventures this year once the weather warms up!
I attached some pictures.
Thanks for being awesome.
Well built! The welds are in the right place and the metal is thick and durable. The only downside is the nut plate inside the connection points were not installed correctly. Fortunately, I just used superglue and needle nose pliers to temporarily hold them and got it all installed. Lastly I wasn’t a big fan of the plastic wind guard but I had some aluminum laying around and made my own piece and made it slightly taller. Will it make a difference? Probably not. But, overall 3-4 stars.
Nice quality rack and useful but had a few issues.
1. Hard to mount with fixed crossbars the available positions didn't work on my 2021 Pilot. I added the extension which changed up the possible mounting points and this worked out.
2. Not terribly noisy but definitely noticeable wind noise even at slow speeds like 40 mph. I wish the fairing was not so vertical I think that might help with the noise
3. Doesn't mount flat and level if you have a curved crossbar. So mine is leaning to one side and when I shim it then it becomes too high off the roof.
4. The yakima cargo net is low quality I returned two of them due to falling apart on the first time each was used. The outer sleeve slipped exposing the insides and the rubber lost its stretch and I didn't even load anything very tall.
Great roof basket. Looks very nice on my yakima overland rack. Very easy to install. Would recommend buying the locks for this when you order one.
I bought this warrior rack to hold accessories on top of my truck bed racks while on camping trips, or tour bags when I do side jobs so that they don’t slide around in the bed and allows easy access. Plus let’s be honest I think it just looks cool. It is very well-built and I am happy with my purchase.
Misleading information on the product page regarding fitment on crossbars. Item states that it will fit on bars 24" - 38" apart. But, in fact, it ONLY fits in 5" increments between 24" - 38". If your crossbars are fixed in place, you may have an issue attaching the basket to your crossbars. Returning the product due to this.
With two people it took us less than 10 minutes to assemble and attach it too my 2017 Subaru Outback. It seems really high quality and was properly packaged and delivered promptly. I have never used e-trailers before but I will definitely revisit here for any further racks/ rack accessories that I need.
Knew I wanted this Yakima rack and found it here at a slight discount. Shipping was quick and package arrive a little dinged up. Its a tough rack so luckily nothing was damaged beyond use. Just had to bend one of the connection pipes slightly but all assembled as instructed. Installed within 30 minutes and takes about 15 to either setup or remove from my Outback. I have my factory Outback bars stretched to their widest setting so the fit isn't perfect but the bumpers accommodate a little offset. Perfect fit for my roof-mounted mountain bike with this on the side. It remained solid with gear attached on 2 15-hour trips so far so I couldn't be happier with my pick. Great piece from Yakima and kudos to etrailer for the discount.
It's what I needed and wanted. Quick response! Thanks
This rack is great quality and is built very well. Can’t wait to get it loaded up with gear and hit the hills..
There was slight damage to the tubes where two connect even though the packaging was undamaged. This is the second of two Yakima products with apparent manufacturing defects. The first was a set of Sky Towers with unfinished lock housings (not from eTrailer). I have been able to make both items work with no help from Yakima. I have lots of Yakima products and never had one problem till this year. The rack, once assembled, is perfect for my teardrop camper. I would also highly recommend the net.
Quick to install and love how tough and think the coating in it is. Looks sharp!
A solid product, but the mounting brackets are constrained by the spacing of the crossbars. I had to reposition my roof rack crossbars slightly to make it fit.
Terrific product, exactly as advertised. Perfect for carrying cargo in addition to a kayak, canoe, etc on a separate rack. Our 22-gallon blue plastic black-/grey-water storage tank fits perfectly. Very high quality materials...should last a long time.
One of the joining screws would not thread into the socket. I will need to re-tap the socket and retry. Not an etrailer issue but a Yakima manufacturer defect. For nearly $[XX] I would have expected more quality. I now have extra work. The design fits my need for loading my gas can and water can and stool when RVing and boondocking. It has a very strong feel and the powder coat seems thick and durable.
