Roof rack question

[vt_maverick]

Hey Ashley, I'm assuming that a bag will work. Yakmia told me on the phone that it was only meant for bike and snowboards I think. Didn't mention bags, but I'm guessing that will work. I know rationally the bag makes more sense, cheaper, easier to store, etc I just prefer the cargo carrier as it looks cooler. Kinda like the VX, there are TONS of SUV's that make much more sense, but it looks so cool!

Agreed - the bag was a last ditch option because I need something soon (going to do some OBX beach driving in a few weeks). Glad to see that the much cooler looking Yakima box is available - thanks vehiGAZ!

Ashley, I'm so jealous, I used to live in Raleigh and went each summer to the outer banks. It's lovely out there and the thing I liked best was it was mostly deserted. Unfortunately, the trend out there last I heard was for richy-rich neighbourhoods were taking over and crowding out the public beaches.
Now that we're in the western part of SC, it's really a hike out there. Not to mention the new additions to the family make a beach trip out of the question this year. My wife and I really miss the outer banks. She really loved the lighthouses. Surprisingly, SC is kinda weak with lighthouses. I think there's only 3-4 and one of them is already in the ocean.

Update: I decided to order the Skybox 16 after reading vehiGAZ's post, and it fits like a glove. Looks good, perfect (albeit tight) fit, can't wait to use it next weekend!

Glad I could help!

I just used ours this weekend to clear out our ski house rental in VT. I had it loaded with 3 snowboards (& bindings), 2 pairs skis, 2 pairs ski poles, 2 sets of snowshoes, my "everyday" Yakima ski racks, and a little room to spare (and as usual, the back of the VX was completely packed side-to-side and floor-to-ceiling). We couldn't manage without it...
