Fresh photos of my new Yakima Basketcase

[straycat]

Got it delivered yesterday and put it on as soon as I could get to it yesterday afternoon. I am very happy with it. I will be going camping soon and I can see how the Basketcase works out.

Well, Yakima states it will hold up to the max weight of my Yakima roof rack (150 lbs). It is very sturdy and weighs in at about 17 lbs. I can put some camping gear and extra stuff that won't fit in the bed. I have a flat spare tire carrier with a spare 33x12.5x15 tire and a bed extender I cut down to fit in the bed with the spare tire. I got rid of all my motorcycles a couple of years back and I can still get a couple of our mountain bikes in the back.

i do alot of camping myself, once i get the BII running, i plan on building a rack for it.....last time we went camping there was just too much stuff to fit in my explorer....plus i cant have any fun in it cause it's only 2wd

I put all of my dry goods (clothes, sleeping bags, ect) in mine when I camp. For wheeling trips they would be awesome.

Thats awesome, now on long trips you can tie down one basket case inside the other. But she might not like it very much. J/K

im liking it. at first when i saw YAKIMA ROOF RACK, i thought, "oh no, this thing is gonna be ugly". it looks good and a low profile and definitly plenty stout.

i cant decide on if i want a chase rack or a roofrack like my old one.

My for sale thread has a pic of a roof rack on Yakima bars. I wanted the larger rack so it could hold all of my gear.

What's nice is that the rack can be removed and replaced in less than 5 minutes.

That's what I was going to get. I would have to take it off to get into the garage and pull out and put it back on when going somewhere....lol I hate when that happens!!!!!
