Extremely Useful
this Yakima LoadWarrior review by Happy 4-wheeler
vehicle year/make/model: 1997 Toyota 4-Runner
item(s) transported: Outdoor gear for camping/hiking/fishing. Planning on placing spare wheel and tire on after applying the lift kit very soon.
I was planning on waiting to purchase this product strictly to hold my spare tire and wheel after installing a lift kit, however I ended up ordering early as I ended up going on an almost 2,000 mile road trip up through Canada for some fishing. It was extremely handy for storing extra gear and attaching the rod storage cases on top of the vehicle. Now that I have returned it will store the spare tire and rim along with a large jack as soon as I install the lift. (I will send pictures) The Load Warrior basket rack is extremely handy and very sturdy. It was also a breeze to install.
Dig the Loadwarrior.
this Yakima LoadWarrior review by Jonas
vehicle year/make/model: 1990 Isuzu Trooper
item(s) transported: things of a cargo-like nature
I’m a proud owner of the Yakima LoadWarrior. It is rugged, useful, and makes my Isuzu Trooper look like a safari vehicle. All I need now is a safari hat and I can do tours around the neighborhood, pointing out cats, dogs, birds, and the occasional rodent. I dig this basket of mine and I highly recommend throwing one on your own roof and loading that thing up. It really spruces up the overall look of you ride. Especially if it's an old clunker like mine.
Useful and rugged.
this Yakima LoadWarrior review by Charles Keene
vehicle year/make/model: 2006 Honda Element
item(s) transported: stuff
I have a Honda Element with factory rails. I wanted a cargo basket, but first had to purchase the Yakima RailGrab system. So I did that and I then purchased the Yakima LoadWarrior and I can say that it is one of the best investments I have made in a long time. All said and done, it was a bigger expense that I had anticipated—I hadn’t considered the RailGrab system—but it was worth it. I use it all the time, and I can tell from the rugged construction that it will last forever. I’m considering also getting the extension so I can increase my overall capacity for when I need it. The other thing that I purchased, which I must say was also a wise choice, was Thule’s step up. It makes accessing the basket a lot easier.
