YAKIMA PRODUCTS (CAR RACKS)
SkyBox Carriers

Comments about SkyBox Carriers:
Installation was very easy. I checked out the Thule as well, but the Yakima had more bang for the buck. On my most recent trip from Seattle to Portland, MPG was reduced by less than 1 MPG. Very quiet as well at speeds up to 75mph.
Service and delivery comments:
Recieved the Yakima in less than 4 days with free shipping to local West Marine. Couldn't find a better deal anywhere else.
Comments about SkyBox Carriers:
Skybox is light weight and very easy to install. It easily held all our family beach chairs umbrellas boogie boards and some luggage.
It is a little bulky due to it's size so you need 2 people to get it on and off, but it's very light so that makes it easy.
Service and delivery comments:
We had it delivered to a WM store and it made it there way faster than expected. The store employee was very helpful getting it out of the package and installing it for the first time, especially since it was 105 degrees outside !!
