Will Replacement Tie-Down Cleat for Yakima EXO Gear Locker Y24EV Work With Yakima EXO SwingBase?  

Updated 06/02/2026 | Published 11/08/2025

Question:

Good day! I actually have 2 Yakima Deep space 10 and I really want to buy the Yakima EXO Swingbase but Im aware that the Deepspace 10 is incompatible with the swingbase So I wanted to DIY it myself, and buy the cleats for the gearlocker and install it on my 2 deepspace so I can mount it on the swingbase and the top shelf My question is, is this cleat SKU8881317 the right part for the gearlocker that will mount on the swingbase cleats?

Hello Giovel, thanks for reaching out. Yes, the Replacement Tie-Down Cleat # Y24EV is correct for connecting the Yakima EXO Gear Locker cargo box part # Y44VR to the EXO SwingBase.

Hey Giovel, how did your DIY setup with the DeepSpace boxes and the EXO SwingBase turn out using the replacement cleats? Your update could make it easier for others trying a similar custom mount.

Hello, I have two Yakima gear locker boxes Compatible to the eco swing base and top shelf. I want to swap the mounting hardware so I can put them on on my roof cross bars, essentially trimming them into Yakima deep space boxes. What mounting hardware do I need to make this work?

@Andrew Hey Andrew. The Yakima GearLocker can only be mounted to the EXO SwingBase or TopShelf. There isn't a kit for retrofitting it to crossbars. If you're looking for an enclosed cargo box to mount on roof crossbars, I'd recommend looking at Yakima's rooftop cargo boxes like the SkyBox, CBX, or GrandTour series instead. The GearLocker and the rooftop cargo boxes may look similar, but the mounting systems are completely different.
