Skis, boards, paddles, and most NBA players—it all fits inside the best-selling, 92-inch Yakima Rocket Box 16 Cargo Box. This long, lean roof box carries a weeks worth of gear for you and your crew whether you’re heading to the crags, the river, or the ski hill. The Rocket Box’s Quick-installation hardware easily mounts to nearly any rack system without tools, and the included locks let you store even your most valuable toys worry-free.

Bottom Line: Even the longest gear fits in the Rocket Box 16.

Talk shop with all the gear freaks out there: ask 'em questions, upload/browse photos, and give your 2¢.

How do the bottom mounts hold onto the crossbars? Is there a locking mechanism (SKS) to keep the box from getting stolen from the top of the car?

They simply go around the bars but the attachment hardware is inside the box itself so when the box is locked you cannot undo the mounts from the bars. So as long as your bars are locked to your car and your box is locked, your box remains secure.

Very large roof box. Great for taking stuff up to a cabin for the season or week long familty vacations. Fits on top of the car to roof racks designed to hold the weight in the box. Very easily attached.

70" + 15" = Nope
As you can see from the sideview image on the following link, the box is 15" tall and essentially sits on top of the crossbars.
