Yakima LoadWarrior Roof Cargo Carrier Review - 2013 Jeep Patriot- Video
Today in the studio, we have a 2013 Jeep Patriot. We're going to do a quick test fit of the Yakima Load Warrior. This is a roof-mounted cargo basket, part number Y07070. Now as you can see, we already had the basket up onto our crossbars, which the roof rack system we have today is from Rhino-Rack, and what I went ahead and did is installed the back two clamps because it does take a little bit to install, not too much, but just a lot of turning of the knobs, so I just left these two uninstalled to give you a quick idea of how it goes on. You can see this T-bolt here on the other side, what you do is there's just a slot in this bracket that this T-bolt just goes down to, and then it'll twist like so, lock in place, and then you'll just tighten down on the nut. Like that and then that T bolt will twist and lock into place, and then we'll just tighten this down. Now, depending on your crossbar spread and what roof rack system that you have will depend on if this rack will actually work for you. Now the Jeep Patriot does have the arrow indicators from the manufacturer on the side rails, basically indicating where the recommended placement of your crossbars should be, and it looks like the rack is going to fit nicely for where the OEM marker indicators are, so it should be good, and I'll loosen this up a little bit and then basically I'm just going to repeat the same process that I did for the front clamp, just insert that T-bolt into that slot and then tighten her down. All right, and once everything is all tightened down, that will complete today's test fit of the Yakima Load Warrior Roof-Mounted Cargo Basket, part number Y07070 on our 2013 Jeep Patriot. more
