Question:
Will the Skybox NX 16 and/or the NX 18 fit on the roof of my 2016 4Runner and still allow the hatch to open? Further, will this box work with the factory cross bars or are they too low to use for this desired setup? I prefer to keep the mount as low as possible without hitting the roof at speed. Thank you.

Hey John, how did things work out with the SkyBox NX on your 4Runner once you added the Malone crossbars? Your update could make it easier for others trying to get the right clearance for their hatch.
