Yakima SkinnyWarrior Roof Rack Cargo Basket Review - 2023 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 - Y07014

How's it going neighbors This is Ed here with etrailer.com and we're taking a look at the Yakima Skinny Warrior Rooftop Basket on our 2023 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. Adding a rooftop basket to your ladder rack or roof of your vehicle is gonna help solve the issue of getting additional cargo space without using any existing area. So you're using a negative space on top of your bed with your ladder racks to get those bigger, bulkier items out on the road with you. What's special about the Skinny Warrior is the fact that it's more narrow so it doesn't take up the entire space of your crossbars. So you can add a kayak carrier, an enclosed rooftop box, or any rooftop accessory. The way that it's constructed is based off of using powder coated stainless steel that's gonna hold up against the elements out on the road. more

Today on our 2015 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 series crew cab pickup we're going to be test fitting the Yakima Load Warrior Rooftop Cargo Basket, that's part number Y07070. We've already got our Yakima roof rack system in place, so we're going to begin by placing the basket on top of the load bars. Got to ensure that the fairing is facing forward and that the feet are in a position to be placed around the bottom of the load bars so that they can be tightened into place. Got to loosen the thumb screws so that we can place this T-shaped bolt down through the foot and once they're down through, you're going to want to turn that that T sideways to lock into place. It helps if you just hold that into place with your finger from the bottom while tightening that thumb screw. This is accessible from both sides, so you're going to want to ensure that it's centered, that way you can access it from both sides. Now that I'm finished with the front, I'm going to fasten the rear. Now that that side is good and tight, actually it needs just a couple of more turns here, now we're ready for our driver's side. more
