• Roof Rack Cargo Basket That Fits 2017 Toyota Tacoma With Factory Crossbars
  There are a pair of cargo baskets from Yakima which are confirmed to fit your 2017 Toyota Tacoma Double Cab with factory crossbars. The Yakima LoadWarrior # Y07070 weighs just 25 lbs, has dimensions of 44" long x 39" wide x 6-1/2" tall. The LoadWarrior with Extension # Y07070-74 is also available which adds 18" of length. A wider option would be the Yakima MegaWarrior # Y07080 which is 52" long x 48" wide x 6-1/2" tall and weighs 35 lbs. The MegaWarrior with Extension # Y07080-82 is available...

• Will The Yakima Load Warrior Install On My RAV4 With A Factory Rack?
  Hey Dan, The Yakima Load Warrior # Y07070-74 will in fact fit your factory crossbars on that Toyota RAV4. It is one of the more popular vehicles that uses these so they would be crazy to not make it compatible with the factory rack. This will install right onto it and you will be ready to go. Do you have any big trips planned coming up?

• Thule Bike Rack Compatibility with Thule XT Roof Cargo Basket
  The Thule Canyon XT Roof Cargo Basket - Steel - 69" x 40" x 6" - 150 lbs # TH859XT-8591XT can use the Thule UpRide # TH599000. The shorter # TH859XT will not allow enough space for the bike carrier to fit in the basket and the crossbar spread is not adequate to span the gap. If you want the bike carrier to ride on bars above the basket for more stability, you would need to use a basket with a crossbar like the Yakima MegaWarrior Extra Large Roof Rack Cargo Basket and Extension # Y07080-82...

• Recommended Spacing for Yakima Q7 Clip on 2015 Chevrolet 2500HD Double Cab with Yakima Cargo Basket
  The best solution for you if you already have the Loadwarrior is to purchase the extension # Y07074. If you haven't already settled on a roof rack then I would instead recommend the MegaWarrior # Y07080. This will save you a little bit of money compared to the LoadWarrior plus extension # Y07070-74 and fit your roof rack crossbar spread of 33 inches great. I cannot recommend you move the placement of your Yakima Q clips for two reasons. The clamps will not fit properly on the roof and...

• Can Load Bar for Yakima LoadWarrior Cargo Basket # Y07070-74 Be Removed
  Yes, the load bar you see pictured spanning the width of the Yakima LoadWarrior Cargo Basket # Y07070-74 can be removed. This load bar is completely optional (but is included with the kit) and it simply allows you to easily mount various accessories such as a bike rack or ski carrier to the basket. It essentially acts as a roof rack crossbar within the basket to provide more mounting options (see attached image). I have attached a short video demonstration on this basket that you can...

• Recommended Roof Bag for Yakima LoadWarrior Roof Rack
  For a 2018 Toyota 4Runner and Yakima LoadWarrior rack, my recommendation will be different depending on if you have the # Y07070 with 38-1/2 inch x 38-1/2 inch interior dimensions or # Y07070-74 with interior dimensions of 56-1/2 inch x 38-1/2 Inches. The Rhino-Rack Rooftop Cargo Bag - Waterproof - 8.5 cu ft - 43" x 31-1/2" x 11-1/2" # RRLB250 or the Rightline Gear Sport 3 Rooftop Cargo Bag - Waterproof - 18 cu ft - 48" x 40" x 19" # RL100S30 are the two waterproof options I'd recommend....

• Accessory Bar for Yakima LoadWarrier Cargo Basket
  There is a bar for the Yakima LoadWarrior Cargo Basket # Y07070 or # Y07070-74 which will work in a similar way to the accessory bar you mentioned. What you can use is the Replacement Loadbar For Yakima LoadWarrior # 8870042. Even though it is technically a "replacement" loadbar, I have contacted Yakima previously about this very issue, and have been told that you can add one to the basket (or a second one if you have the LoadWarrior + extension). If you take a look at the accompanying...

• Can Yakima JayLow Attach to Yakima LoadWarrior Cargo Basket
  The Yakima JawLow part # Y04073 can fit directly to the Yakima Loadwarrior part # Y07070-74 that you referenced. I attached a picture that shows this as well. Using a single Jaylow for two kayaks is an acceptable long drive solution. If it wasn't safe to do this Yakima wouldn't endorse it for that type of use as they are very cautious. Some people prefer the J-style for loading and unloading so two of these racks is also a route you can go with if that's what makes you feel the most comfortable....

• Replacement Load Bar Needed for Yakima Roof Basket
  If the accessory bar isn't fitting on your Yakima Offgrid basket then chances are that you purchased the wrong size bar for your basket. We actually have part # Y07353 which is for the 40" wide OffGrid Baskets # Y07138 and # Y07138-08 as well as part # Y07354 which is for the 49" wide OffGrid Baskets # Y07139 and # Y07139-09. The part number # 8870042 that you referenced is actually a replacement LoadBar for the Yakima LoadWarrior # Y07070 or # Y07070-74. If you aren't sure what basket...

• Roof Cargo Basket that Fits Elliptical Crossbars and Can Have Kayak Carrier Installed
  Best option you have is the Yakima LoadWarrior part # Y07070 which is 44" long x 39" wide x 6-1/2" tall or the larger # Y07070-74 that measures 62" long x 39" wide x 6-1/2" tall. Both of these fit elliptical shaped crossbars and the front and rear bar of the basket is designed to work as a round crossbar that a Yakima Jaylow part # Y04073 can attach to. These two are the only options we have that cover everything you need. In the picture I attached you'll see a Jaylow installed on this...

• Comparing the Yakima LoadWarrior and Thule Canyon XT Roof Baskets for a 2017 Toyota 4Runner
  The real difference in which to get between the Yakima LoadWarrior with Extension, part # Y07070-74 and the Thule Canyon XT, part # TH859XT-8591XT will be between what kind of load bars you have equipped to the 2017 Toyota 4Runner and how its planned to be used. Additionally, if you have any other Thule or Yakima accessories should be a part of the decision. If you have Yakima's round bars or the 4 Runner factory bars, the LoadWarrior will be easier to install onto these and the LoadWarrior...

• Does Yakima LoadWarrior Basket Work With Yakima Kayak Carrier
  You can use the Yakima LoadWarrior Roof Rack Cargo Basket - 44" Long x 39" Wide # Y07070 or 62" Long x 39" Wide # Y07070-74 with a Yakima kayak carrier for two kayaks, but the BowDown is too wide/long for two of them to fit the LoadWarrior. So in order to carry two kayaks with the LoadWarrior what you will need is a kayak carrier capable of holding two kayaks, which is the following: - Yakima JayLow Kayak Carrier # Y04073 You will use the JayLow in the post-style configuration with this...

• Recommended Roof Basket and Crossbars For a 2022 Ford Bronco
  For your 2022 Ford Bronco, I recommend checking out the Yakima LoadWarrior Roof Rack Cargo Basket # Y07070-74. This roof basket measures 62" long x 39" wide x 6-1/2" tall, has a max weight capacity of 140 lbs, and will work great with your 2022 Ford Bronco. You are also going to need a set of crossbars # INXB130-138 & # INXS150 to use this or any roof basket as they are not going to work with just your raised rails.

• How Do I Attach My Yakima JawLow to the Yakima LoadWarrior Basket?
  In order to attach your Yakima Jaylow # Y04073 to your Yakima LoadWarrior Basket # Y07070-74 like we did in the video, it requires you to use the 4 provided round bar adapter pieces. I went ahead and attached a picture from the JayLow instructions that show these pieces in the contents section. As far as the mounting process, you will attach the cradles (with the adapters) to the central round bar of the LoadWarrior. After the cradles are attached, you will need to tighten the red clamp...

• Will Yakima Locking Mounting Brackets Y07064 Also Fit Curt Cargo Basket C18115
  The Yakima Locking Mounting Brackets # Y07064 are designed to allow secure installation of one of their own rooftop cargo baskets, such as # Y07070, # Y07070-74 or # Y07080-82. These locking mounts are designed specifically for the dimensions and spacing of the bars used to construct their baskets. The Yakima locking brackets are intended to replace the top half of the standard mounting brackets that come with the LoadWarrior. I went to our warehouse with an associate to check both the...

• Will A Yeti 210 Cooler Fit Inside Yakima GearWarrior?
  I was able to locate the interior dimensions of the Yakima GearWarrior Cargo Carrier for Modular EXO System # Y37VR and can confirm that the Yeti 210 cooler is not going to fit as this basket has interior measurements of 21" W and 54.39" L. So with the Yeti having a width of 22-1/4" it'll be a bit too wide for this basket. Instead, check out the Yakima LoadWarrior Roof Rack Cargo Basket # Y07070-74. This cargo carrier is a bit larger measuring 62" long but is 39" wide so it'll have plenty...

• Will the Yakima LoadWarrior or MegaWarrior with Extensions Fit a 2017 Subaru Forester
  Yes, both the LoadWarrior with extension # Y07070-74 and the MegaWarrior with extension # Y07080-82 will fit the factory roof rack crossbars on a 2017 Subaru Forester. But one thing to consider is the weight of the carriers. The LoadWarrior weighs 32 pounds and the MegaWarrior weighs 52 pounds. So if your roof rack is rated for 150 pounds (according to Yakima) then you will be limited to 118 pounds of cargo with the LoadWarrior or 98 pounds with the MegaWarrior.

• Rooftop Cargo Basket That Can Accept Yakima Copperhead Bike Carriers
  The Rhino-Rack Roof Mounted Steel Cargo Basket # RMCB is not designed to have a roof-mount bike rack attached to it. My contact at Rhino Rack confirmed that this rooftop basket is meant only for holding luggage, etc. Even if it were rated for such an application the front wind fairing would interfere with efforts to install a roof-rack-mount bike carrier like your Yakima Copperhead. That said, the Copperhead does fit both round and square bar roof rack crossbars. My Yakima contact did...

• Yakima LoadWarrior or MegaWarrior Rercommendation for 2017 Subaru Outback
  The Yakima MegaWarrior with Extension part # Y07080-82 weighs 58 lbs and the LoadWarrior with extension part # Y07070-74 weighs 46 lbs. The location of the mounting hardware on either basket will allow you to open the rear hatch without any issue. For me I would go with the lighter LoadWarrior since lifting a heavy basket on to the top of a vehicle will be a chore. I attached a review video for this basket on the roof of a similar 2017 Outback as yours.

• What is the Most Economical Way to Transport a 15-20 Cubic Foot Cargo Bag on a 2019 Honda CRV?
  I have a great solution for you. Unfortunately, we do not have a 20 cubic foot cargo bag that is designed to fit your bare roof. In order to have a 20-foot cargo bag like the GearBag 4 # HCR628, you will need to get a rooftop cargo basket like the Yakima LoadWarrior Roof Rack Cargo Basket - Steel - 62" Long x 39" Wide # Y07070-74. With the LoadWarrior, you will need a complete roof rack system. However, that system will be far from the most economic option. For a great economical way...

• Can I Mount Crossbars To The Top Of A Rooftop Cargo Basket
  I can definitely get you setup that will allow you to mount crossbars on the top of a roof top basket. Unfortunately, there is no safe way to mount the Malone AirFlow2 Roof Rack - Aero Crossbars - Raised, Factory Side Rails - Aluminum - 58" Long, part # MPG216, to the top of your Rhino-Rack Roof Mounted Steel Cargo Basket - 57" Long x 42" Wide - 165 lbs, part # RMCB02. However, you could do this instead. You would install the Yakima LoadWarrior Roof Rack Cargo Basket - Steel - 62" Long...

• Replacement Roof Cargo Basket for Older Yakima BasketCase
  Yakima's available roof cargo baskets are the LoadWarrior # Y07070 and MegaWarrior # Y07080. The BasketCase carrier you referenced has been discontinued. The LoadWarrior and MegaWarrior are designed to sit on top of the crossbars, where the BasketCase sat between the crossbars. Since most roof racks today are getting closer and closer to the vehicle's roof to maintain a low profile, the BasketCase style is not as universal as a cargo basket that sits on top of the crossbars. A great feature...
