Carry big loads and mount accessories directly to the crossbars of this MegaWarrior roof rack cargo basket. The versatile, heavy-duty steel basket hauls anything from bikes to boats and comes with a custom fairing and a movable accessory bar.
Features:
Specs:
Note: Using additional extensions is allowed, but an additional roof-rack crossbar must be used for every extension after the first.
This multisport cargo basket fits on the roof-rack crossbars of large vehicles, allowing you to carry big loads and mount Yakima accessories. The basket front and rear crossbars serve as mounting points for Yakima bike and boat carriers. The basket accepts any Yakima mount accessory that works with a crossbar spread of 41".
A movable load bar mounts on the side rails of the cargo basket and repositions to serve as a mounting point for shorter roof rack accessories.
Additional accessories - including Hi-Lift Jack Brackets, Spare Tire Carrier, Light Bracket and Axe/Shovel Brackets - attach directly to the side bars of the cargo basket.

Today we're going to be taking a look at the Yakima MegaWarrior Extra Large Roof Rack Cargo Basket and Extension, Part Number Y07080-82. The Yakima MegaWarrior Extra Large Cargo Basket enables you to carry even more luggage than you would with just a plain MegaWarrior, adding about 22 inches to its length. Right now we have it loaded up with luggage, your bike racks, even tire carriers, but it can also carry things such as shovels, jacks, or even have a light bracket attached to it as well. It has all the same features as the MegaWarrior, starting with its barrier installed at the front which is going to cut down the wind noise and drag while you're driving. It also has this adjustable crossbar which can be moved along the rack itself to carry Yakima accessories such as the bike rack you see here, or a kayak carrier or ski and snowboard carrier. This is very easy to install. It simply clamps around your existing roof rack like you see here, or it can connect to square, round, arrow, and elliptical bars.
If you wanted to, you can actually purchase a locking bracket, which is sold separately on etrailer.com. The cargo basket itself can be adjusted in length along your roof rack, and in this case clearance is not going to be an issue between our hatch and the cargo carrier or even the bike rack that we have installed. The basket is made from a sturdy galvanized steel construction and has a black powder coat finish on it which is going to resist rust and corrosion. The basket measures 74 inches long by 48 inches wide by 6-1/2 inches tall. It has a carrying capacity of 130 pounds, although always double check with your vehicle's manual to make sure your roof can withstand those weights. This can carry up to four bikes or up to two bikes and one kayak or one canoe, or up to two bikes and a Yakima Big Powder Hound, which is the ski and snowboard carrier, or up to three kayaks and one bike.
Another advantage about this roof basket is, if you don't want to use it in its extra long fashion here, you can take out the extension piece and shorten it down. When comparing this with other products, one that comes up is the Curt Roof Mounted Cargo Basket, Part Number C18115-117. Both of these have the same advantages of being able to shrink them down to a smaller size if that's what you need. However, as far as length and width are concerned, the Yakima has a slight advantage with it being 74 inches long by 48 inches wide. The Curt is 62-1/2 inches long by 37 inches wide. The Curt does, however, have a higher carrying capacity with 150 pounds. Now that we've gone over some of the features of the cargo basket, let's go ahead and show you how it installs.
We have it set right now on our table here, and you may need an extra set of hands to set this on your roof rack. I would like to point out, though, when you have a crossbar spread, you want to make sure it's at a minimum of 36 inches to a maximum of 60 inches. As we get this up here, you want to line up the crossbars with these inner portions here. Next we'll take our support bracket and line it up on top of our roof rack and push it into place. We'll repeat this for our other three points. Next, take our metal support bracket making sure that this curve down here goes over our center bar on the rack itself.
Again, we'll repeat this for every connection point. Next we'll install the bottom bracket. You'll see one has a square hole, and that's going to be for our carriage bolt, and the other hold is going to be for our T-bolt. Now when you install that through, you want to make sure that the T is facing this direction because if not it'll go straight through. We're going to install that towards the rear of the vehicle. We'll come up underneath, put our bolts through, and then take our turn knobs, install those on top, and we'll repeat this for our other locations as well until they're completely tightened down. Now that we have everything tightened down and secure, we can start loading up our gear, and there you have it for the Yakima MegaWarrior Extra Large Roof Rack Cargo Basket and Extension, Part Number Y07080-82.

Carry big loads and mount accessories directly to the crossbars of this MegaWarrior roof rack cargo basket. The versatile, heavy-duty steel basket hauls anything from bikes to boats and comes with a custom fairing and a movable accessory bar.They had the rack I needed, in stock, and at a great price. Shipping was free, quick, and easy to track. Item arrived well packaged and undamaged. So what's not to like? 398492
The rack is fine, no problems. But then again its only a year old. Had one on my Jeep for 14 years now, all I do is give it a fresh coat of Rustoleum every few years...
Steve T - 06/24/2018Only had this on a few day, but have found many uses...love the rack and so far so good! 510237
Initial quality was excellent and assembly a snap. Finding a roof basket that wouldn't look like a tiny hat on a Jeep Commander was difficult, but the MegaWarrior is perfect! Assembly and mounting took less than an hour and it looks great. Now it just needs to be outfitted with a set of off-road lights. ;-) 503041
Wow !!!! Excellent service and very fast shipping. I bought the Yakima Megawarrior cargo basket with the Thule Aeroblade roof rack and the Carpod walled folding cargo basket. I love the way these parts fit as well as the cargo carrying capacity. I really can’t say enough about trailer customer service and shipping they really do place value in their customers. Would highly recommend using this company for your part needs !!! 529678
Yakima racks are great! My only complaint has been with the limited amount of accessories for Overlanding. 726039
I've had the mega warrior about a year on top of my van. Performing flawlessly! 630888
Installed on Yukon XL for camping materials...chairs, grill, camp blocking, storage bins well built provides plenty of room for items you do not want to place inside vehicle used four cross bars for mounting and support tough look very satisfied 579887
Product was exactly what you would expect from a reputable company such as Yakima. Fit an finish was spot on. I was happy to go with the megawarrior instead of the loadwarrior seeing as of how well the megawarrior flows with my 4Runner body lines. 557141
High quality product. 551123
THANKS GUYS!!!! 543262
So far, so good. I originally ordered the Curt basket, which is cheaper. But it turns out it wouldn't fit on my Xterra's factory bars (even though the Curt website shows it on an Xterra, unfastened!) Also the Curt instructions say their basket is not meant for permanent installation -- I guess it's like a clamshell you put on for a trip and take off after. Not what I wanted. This Yakima fits the wide, oval Xterra factory bars -- just barely, but it's secure. I like that because I was trying to minimize height. I installed it myself; just lifted it over my head and walked it on, no problem. It's big, especially with the extension, but I figured as long as I'm putting one on, I might as well make it as useful as possible. Cost about the same, on sale, as the smaller LoadWarrior. I could mount my old bike racks on it, as shown. (I have a trailer so a rear mount doesn't work.) But after I knocked a bike off going through the drive-thru at Burger King I decided I'm just going to lay the bikes flat and strap them down. Until they invent bike radar. Etrailer service was excellent, as usual. 542040
Went together easily Seems like excellent quality 525646
Purchase, shipping were excellent and far exceeded my expectations. Thx! 524767
Easy to install and looks great with the extension. Bit of wind noise but not unexpected. 511460
Got the product I ordered today. There was a long delay on the manufacturers end but the group at etrailer kept me informed the whole time and were always accessible by phone. I was very pleased with the way they handeled the sale. No hesitation ordering from them again. 474294
Rack is well made and assembly is easy. 438306
I have used these people now twice. I absolutely love their customer service! I love how easy their website is and the helpful videos they have with them. This is so rare to have a company put so much information that is easily accessible out there for customers to make good decisions and informative decisions on what they're purchasing. If you haven't done business with these people yet, do it! You won't be sorry! 289592

Review from a similar Yakima MegaWarrior in Roof Basket
Computer ordering was clear & worked very well. Shipping was 'e' noticed, tracking was easy, dellvery was fast, all the parts and clear plain English assembly instructions were enclosed. My personal assembly was possible (am not mechanical at all) and all parts fit. Looks & fits good on my Jeep Wrangler. Item is on the high end of price, but is equally on the high end of quality. I'm a very satisfied customer! Thanks "etrailer"! Thanks Yakima ! 724856

Review from a similar Yakima MegaWarrior in Roof Basket
Good guilty product. Would make two changes, installed on a 2010 Suburban. Mounting bolts where too long stuck up above bottom of rack had to shorten them as will be hauling water and fuel cans. Cross bar has Allen mounting bolts,not easily adjusted to load. 157672
Review from a similar Yakima MegaWarrior in Roof Basket
The rack is nicely made and installs easily and quickly. What's amazing is the etrailer service. It's always fun to find another of the seemingly few companies who are trying to it it as well as it can be done. I believe my rack shipped before we were finished talking about it. I hope to find something else to buy from these folks. 64703
