The inserts in the tubes that contain the nuts for assembly fell out of mine and were difficult to line up. Not the best assembly experience. Otherwise well made and powder coated. I look forward to using my cargo rack to carry camping gear.

I originally bought the load warrior basket for my Subaru Crosstrek and it wasn’t quite big enough to fit everything I needed it for (kayak attachments & camping totes). I bit the bullet and got the extension and I’m glad I did. It shipped to me within a few days and was easy enough disassembling the basket to add on the extension. Love Yakima products, highly recommend if you need some extra space and want a quality product.

I got a used product to save a little cash. It wasn't scratched or bent, but it did come in the worst packaging I've ever seen successfully delivered. The rack was literally hanging out of the "box" (loosely bound flaps of cardboard) in two places. And it was missing a screw. All in all, the screw is a standard size and easy to find a replacement, and the perfect fit with the existing, well-used LoadWarrior basket I was fitting it to are a testament to how well engineered and made the Yakima products are.

It’s a great addition for your load Warrior. I have this setup on my 2018 Subaru Outback. It provides tons of additional space to store things. The only negative part is that it blocks the sunroof.

Product worked great and fit perfectly together with the basket I had. The one worry I had was about the middle cross bar, which turns out to be optional, and easily goes on and off with the provided wrench, so I can put it on quick when using a bike or ski attachment, or take it off when carrying bigger objects.

Yup, this thing works great.I had no issue with any screws or threads rusting out or stripping from my LoadWarrior, which has been on my roof for like 4 years prior to buying this extension. So that worked out great, and I was a little bummed out about the possibility of having to get the extension and then not be able to set it up right away due to things stripping or rusting. But, that was not the case!Everything fit together great, i used the old screws on the bottom of the whole basket+extension, and the new ones that came with the extension on the sides where the screw the sections together for a cleaner visual look...as you cannot see the old screws on the bottom at all. Good idea.One thing I thought was weird was that with the extension, now there are 15 rungs, without the extension, there were 10...anyhow, with an odd number of rungs the basket is not symmetrical. What that means is either the front or the back will be longer depending on how you set it up, you do not have the option to completely center the basket. It's like a 55/45 split, if you are trying to maintain the Yakima recommendation of not having your crossbars further than 30" apart.Other than that this extension maxes out the capacity of the LW and fills the entire roof of our Jeep Liberty right up the the back of the sunroof, and does not interfere with the antenna or the back hatch door at all when lifted.I have not yet added the additional load bar that comes with this extension because I have no immediate use for it. I will be using it in the future and it looks as if it installs very easily, and comes with a allen wrench specific to it. It should be a rock solid rack when all said and done. Love this basket, and I might as well get a couple axe/shovel mounts for the sides now for fun...Highly recommended!

Went into place perfect, easy to install. Could have installed it with one person, but If you have someone willing to take 10-30 minutes with you then it'll go faster. To prevent rusting, corrosion, and the screws stripping (like my basket screws stripped. I did everything correct and they still stripped, called Yakima and they sent more screws out free of charge right away. So my project was delayed a week) I put spray on it to prevent any of that happening to my extension. I camp, bike, and enjoy everything about the outdoors. This basket extension will help get my bike from point A to point B with no trouble at all! No more scratching up the inside of my Forester. :)I recommend buying the extension right away BEFORE putting together your yakima basket, if you're even thinking about buying the extension. Just buy it and save the trouble of screws stripping. In order to get the stripped screw out, I took a chisel and a hammer and banged the head of the screw off, then took middle nose pliers and removed the problem which was inside the tube. Was a pain in my butt, but I read the reviews and figured it would happen to me. And it did.
