Any one successfully mounted and roof cargo basket (Like the Yakima Skinny Warrior) next to a Cargo carrier? We have the factory crossbars and an existing Yakima Rocket Box 11 which is 11 cubic feet (89” x 22” x 14”). I'm curious if anyone has mounted something similar side by side and if there is enough width on the factory cross bars to do so.

I replaced my factory roof bars with Yakimas round bars ( 60" ) and their locking rail mounts. They offer several length bars. Measure what you're trying to fit and get the appropriate size bars. Mine is set up just to haul my canoe up there, so it has the canoe cradles on the tubes. I like the quick release mounts, so I can strip everything off for a clean roofline when I'm not using the cross bars.

@Hamfisted - Do you know what rail mounts you used? I have Yakima roof bars from my last vehicle, but not sure which mounts work best on the factory rails.
