Skybox - Just outstanding

By den3808478 Ranked #557 - Car Racks June 21, 2010

Bought the Yakima Skybox 16 for our trip to Yellowstone last month and it performed flawlessly. Mounted on our 2008 Xterra, it fit perfectly both to the roof rack but also cosmetically to the eye, it looked like it belonged up there.

Results of our 16 day/4500mile adventure.
1) Very easy to Install. 2 people - 10 minutes to get all aligned. Never had to retighten or realign.
2) 13 days it rained, sometimes a deluge - Zero water or wetness. completely dry - wow.
3) No wind noise, no rattling - even at 85mph. I was most amazed at that.
4) Did not really effect mileage or performance, it felt very aerodynamic.
5) having the dual opening (either side) was a big bonus if the car was parked tilted. Easy to load and un load. The looking mechanism is very secure postitve.

as reference we had 3 sleeping bags (synthetic - zero degree - big) 5 person tent, 2 camp chairs, bbq, tent pad, air mattress and another duffle all up there.

Not many items I can say this about but Yakima absolutely got this one right. It was a great purchase that I would highly recommend.
