It has quality construction, and the hardware is well thought out and easily installed. I use this on a Thule rack, but the install was easy. I am a bit concerned of how the mega warrior attaches to the Thule rack, as the rack bolts to the Thule square load bars. The clamping brackets are composite material, and from past experience with Yakima universal kit mount to square load bars, I have had cracking of the clamps that lead to on road repairs. The additional accessories are somewhat expensive, in my opinion, particularily the spare tire holder as well as the high lift jack braket. Both items are over 70 dollars each. Hopfully this will stand the test of time. I have more experience with Thule products, and find them to be consitently good. Others swear by Yakima, but I have a had a few problems as mentioned above, including 2 anckle biter bike racks that I can't seem to keep at 90 degrees on the load bars. Havn't lost a bike, but it is a little unervinig for me to see my 2000.00 Trek loaded up at 90 and arrive at my destination crooked. Yakima dosn't make them anymore. perhaps for that reason. Never had the tilting bike problem with my Thule rack, as I own both. <br /> <br /> Rating: 4 / 5 The Yakima Megawarrior is a great cargo basket, designed to get your packages out of the vehicle and on the roof.
