Rocket Box is totally fine
this Yakima Rocket Box 16 review by Duff
vehicle year/make/model: 2005 Nissan Maxima
item(s) transported: ski gear and all the other gear
I'll admit, the Rocket Box isn't the sexiest box out there these days, but it is less than the real sexy ones, and it is a great box that does everything you'd want. It is crazy light, which is nice, and it is just the right size for my ski gear and any other gear I want to carry. Plus it is narrow enough so that I can also keep my bike tray on my crossbars. Totally cool. Highly recommended as a somewhat affordable cargo box.
Good Box
this Yakima Rocket Box 16 review by hender
vehicle year/make/model: 2008 Toyota Prius
item(s) transported: you name it
The Rocket Box easily stores skis, fishing rods and other items. I have also stored a guitar, clothing, backpacks, and luggage in it, without any problems. If you concerned about water getting into the Rocket Box, forget it. The Rocket Box has a seal around the lid, which keeps water (and moisture) out. It attaches easily to the bars, opens and closes easily, and is secure. Good box, but a bit pricey considering it is afterall, plastic.

ORS Crew says - The Yakima RocketBox series cargo boxes have a specific range of adjustment to fit crossbars with differing distances between the front roof rack crossbar and the rear roof rack cross bar (referred to as crossbar spread). Yakima RocketBox 16 & 11 models will fit any crossbars with a spread of 30" - 36". Yakima RocketBox 15s model will fit any crossbars with a spread of 24" - 36".
Dale asks - I have the old Rocket Box and the u-bolts that come up from underneath rusted so that when I went to take it off the thre-prong knobs broke off and the u-bolts broke as well. I have no problem just replacing them but my buddy said there was a conversion kit to make it a quick release. I cannot find that. Is there such a thing?
SWEETcarolina answers - That’s a no go unfortunately as the new hardware slides in a track/strip on the new Yakima RocketBox boxes only, so new hardware will not work on your old style rocket box.
