Rola 59501 Roof Top Cargo Basket Review

Rola 59501 Roof Top Cargo Basket

I bought a pair of Rola roof racks for our Hyundai Elantra (which didn't fit well at all) and ordered this roof rack thinking it would fit to their own racks. Boy was I wrong. This is the biggest engineering fail I've ever seen. The u-brackets included aren't long enough to fit the mounting brackets they include *when used with their own roof rack*!I had to go to Lowe's to buy washer and nuts to replace the wing nuts they included that would not grab the threads (the supplied wing nuts, by the way, had they fit, would have stuck up about 1/2" below the bottom of the rack, resulting in four "posts" I would have had to pack around) . On top of that, once I finally got the nuts on (I had MYABE 1/4" of thread for them to "grab"), tightening the brackets down only served to deform the bottom of the roof rack, instead of settling nicely into place.

However, after some creative engineering to get it to stay on tightly, I was able to load it up with a fair amount of gear and bungee it down. It seemed reasonably sturdy and held up well to a 2,000 mile trip through some rain and wet snow.Overall, I liked the rack but was supremely frustrated by the poor execution of the mounting system.

Assembly is very easy however that's the only nice thing.I only had this on top of my Jeep for 2 months before it started to rust at it's assembly points.The rust then leaked ontop of my jeep creating havoc on my paint.Will not recommend this unit.Spend the extra money and get something nicer.

Yakima LoadWarrior Rooftop Cargo Basket Review

I attached this to my 2006 Nissan Xterra's existing cross bars. I had no difficulty assembling and mounting it on my own. I did run into one hitch when I found a nut was missing from one of the locking knobs. A trip to the local hardware store for a 1/4" nut solved the problem. Nice basket, fits well on the Xterra.

Product Description:
Gear up whether heading to the mountains or the woods with the LoadWarrior rooftop cargo basket. Merging a versatile design with a cavernous internal cavity, the LoadWarrior makes it easy to carry such items as bikes, skis, kayaks, luggage, spare tires, shovels, and more. Just as importantly, the LoadWarrior frees up space inside the car for your family and friends, so they don't have to spend the entire drive with luggage in their laps. The basket is easy to install, with mounting hardware that attaches directly to most round, square, and factory crossbars.
The LoadWarrior's movable accessory bar, meanwhile, accommodates a host of Yakima accessories, such as rooftop bike, ski, and boat racks. And users will love the weather-resistant, heavy-duty steel construction, which is incredibly durable yet weighs only 25 pounds, and the custom wind fairing, which keeps the basket from making whistling sounds on the highway. Compatible with an optional locking bracket (sold separately) for securing your basket to the rack, the LoadWarrior measures 44 by 6.5 by 39 inches (W x H x D).
