Recommended Cargo Basket to Fit Next To 36 Cargo Box on 60 Long Crossbars  

Question:

Hello, Would you happen to know the measurements from the locking clamp to the rack edge? I have a 60inch bar and want to know if I can fit this basket next to a 36inch wide Thule box. Thanks

I may have a solution for you, but the clamps on the Yakima OffGrid # Y07138-08 are roughly 8" from the sides. Additionally because this box is 40" wide and you're adding a 36" cargo box next to it, you would need at least 78" of bar space to ensure that both items are fully supported by the crossbars on your 2013 Lexus LX570. You don't want part of the basket hanging over unsupported as it's going to create an unstable situation on your roof.

Instead, I recommend using the Yakima SkinnyWarrior Roof Rack Cargo Basket - Steel - 58" Long x 23" Wide - 165 lbs # Y07014, which will fit next to your Thule cargo box nicely on the 60" bars and provide you with a cargo basket to carry additional cargo.

I've linked a short review video of this basket for you to have a look at.
