      Comments about Yakima MegaWarrior:

      I installed this on my Jeep Liberty in an 1/2 hour. Easy to install, minimal tools required. It's nice and stable and comes with an air deflecter. I use it for camping and its nice to have all that free space in the cab for passengers.

        Comments about Yakima MegaWarrior:

        This Rack is amazing!!! I bought this rack along with the extension section and it fits the top of my Hummer H3 like a glove and looks great up there too. This thing can handle all the gear you need to carry. From camping, to off-roading, to loading 10 8 foot 4x4 posts on it it just plain handles it ALL. I am very please with this rack and the extension. REI was great with helping me order it and having it shipped fast.

        Service and delivery comments:

        Very Fast shipping, arrived at my local REI store in no time flat.

          Comments about Yakima MegaWarrior:

          I had problems in the past trying to carry everything inside my Sequoia. Not any more. I have the room for everything now. I even have a full size 33 inch truck tire in it. Gear is one of the most important thing when your out in the middle of no where. With the mega warrior you can carry all the gear you need and it's easy to install.

            tossed a ton of luggage on top and drove up to big bear... secured everything down with the optional net and 4 adjustable Ratchet Tie Downs. Worked awesome.

              Comments about Yakima MegaWarrior:

              I needed a rack with good weight capacity and volume. I thought Yakima was the one. I spoke with REI staff at two stores about weight capacity and they said "It depends on your car rack capacity". I said my car rack capacity is 185 pounds based on the manual.
              I checked on line and looked for specific specifications as to the RACK weight capacity. I could find nothing.

              I bought the rack based on the discussions with REI staff (They did look in the manuals to obtain any information available from the manufacturer). Upon receiving the rack and opening the box I started reading the directions. The first page in large letters said MAXIMUM CAPACITY 135 POUNDS.

              WHAT?? I am not going to pay that much money for a low weight capacity rack!!

              I went on line and checked other sources and brand names.

              Found a rack with 165 pound capacity for less (rack + extension + wind fairing + shipping.) Weight capacity was confirmed with a telephone call to the product distributer.

              Less cost and greater weight capacity and better product specifications!

                For the price I was a bit disappointed that it did not have the net included and it was another [$]. But it is rugged. I already had forgotten it was there and tried to get into a underground parking lot. It took a hit but not even the fiber glass front panel was scratched. No paint came off. Thats all right. Plus easy to take off and on.
