Rooftop Cargo Box

Instead of the usual cage/basket, we bought a small cargo box to attach to the Yakima bars.  We wanted something small so that it didn't extend up over the solar panel on the roof.  This one was from Amazon and is about 8ft^3 in size.

I set it up to sit as far down in the back as I could to allow easier access.  I also attached it to one side so that the key lock and the opening was easier to reach.  The bottom Yakima bar I didn't move, because one of the sliding mounts was actually non-sliding - they put a screw into the roof there.  The upper bar I slid down to allow the lowest possible setting of the box mounts.

It fits the entire Walker side tent with sides, poles, and curtains, plus a small rolled-up rug.  Nice to free up some storage space in the truck.....
