OK. Here we go. All ready for a fabulous weeklong family outdoor camping hiking trip. Now, the puzzle of how to get that big pile of very necessary outdoor equipment gear into (or onto) our vehicle. Luckily, I do believe I’ve found a solution to the problem. It’s a terrific roof rack system that makes it easy even if you have to load 4 bikes, 4 kayaks or 4 big backpacks. There is even a special tire-mounting bracket for if you want to temporarily relocate the spare tire to free up room in your car. This Yakima Load Warrior system is not just a roof rack, it’s a complete loading system with a basic mounting structure that fits the roof of any car, SUV or pickup. The rack can be tailor made with different modules to fit your specific need and your specific vehicle. The Yakima Load Warrior Gear Basket, just to mention one combination, isn’t just a cargo basket, it's a rack that accommodates big bulky items that you would have a hard time fitting inside your vehicle together with your 2.5 kids, large dog(s) and loving spouse! Merging versatility and load-carrying ability, the Yakima Load Warrior is an amazing cargo-swallowing device. With front and rear gutter mounted bars, you can attach bikes, kayaks etc. or carry various outdoor camping equipment in the basket, which is then secured with a locking bracket. The lockable Yakima RocketBox 16 is ideal for long and/or wide loads and, because the Yakima rack is weather resistant and made of a tough but lightweight (25 lbs) steel construction, it’s a system that you can feel very confident of even in extreme weather conditions. Is everybody ready? Let’s go!
