OffGrid

It's a great fit for my Subaru Forester. I added the 18" extension which makes it perfect length for my Subaru. Overall it was easy to set up and add to my rig. I haven't noticed any extra noise from it, and have used a ski rack on the included crossbars as well as carried a SUP there already. Both worked great.

Great product! Looks good! Quality product. Just wish they made more mounts and brackets for it for accessories.

The sturdiness of the metal parts are excellent, looks great, and the four sliding fasteners are easy to operate and secure. However, for this price, the hex screws can get loose due to vibration so you should use locktite. The plastic piece vibrations and whistles like crazy, it actually transferred into my cabin and made me think something was loose in the 4runner. I'd use the basket without the wind deflector.

Beautiful product. Very quiet on the highway with no sun roof at least. Looks good on almost anything and handy for Home Depot trips. Who needs a truck bed?

Got this to stow my oversized spare tire. Sleek design, & easy install. The SKS core locks slip right in and work perfectly. The clips to attach the wind ferrying were a pain but we got ‘em. Ordering the extension because my tire takes up a lot of the room. Extensions was hard to find in stock. Hardware kit was short 1 screw but reached out to Yakima and they’re sending me one. Great customer service!

Best basket on the market and even better company to back their products! After some years of use I ran into a small issue with my basket but yakima made the warranty process quick and easy (thank you Steve and Jack). This is the second time I've gone through their warranty process as my exo system, being brand new on the market when purchased, had an issue with the gear locker and they immediately sent new parts for a quality fix. I have been so loyal to only Yakima products for over 5 years due to exceptional customer service! As for the basket, very versatile for all of my California lifestyle activities; wether attaching my fatcat snowboard racks for winter season to pads on the accessory bar for the surf boards to hauling my ice chest and camping gear the offgrid has never let me down! I look forward to my next adventures thanks to Yakima

I have a 2021 Outback Onyx XT and this Large Off Grid rack genuinely looks the best on it and works so well. It is very sturdy. The adjustable top crossbars work great for really locking in gear like coolers or totes. I also purchased the SKS locks for all mounting points which makes me feel 100% more comfortable leaving it up there. I also use the netting from Yakima and they just clip on so easy and stay there so i can keep clipping around the frame. The clips can attach to the main frame or the small floor support… they have two clips on each point (large and small) very convenient and secure. I also purchased ratchet straps from Costco (CAT brand) and they also clip on perfectly and stay there to be able to ratchet the other side without someone holding it tight. It’s a two piece rack so make sure to tighten that hardware down. The wind fairing can be removed and you can center longer items like 2x4’s or posts. Downside is need two people to place or remove it, otherwise no problems for me.

I am using the Off Grid basket atop your Outpost HD rack system and love the combination... Gives me loads of extra storage with the room remaining on bars, the space the basket provides and the Outpost Rack allows me to free up in the truck bed. Well done and recommended!

The ONLY reason I bought this particular rack was for the accessory bars. I have a Rocket Box from 20+ years ago and the crossbars on my truck don't have a sufficient span. The LAST page of instructions, after fighting with screws and clips, says ..............wait for it ............ "Not compatible with cargo boxes or roof top rents". Gee, don't you think that should be in the product description? I sure hope my Rocket Box doesn't fly off on a road trip. It sure fits, but for some undisclosed engineering, legal, or aerodynamic principal it is "Not compatible". Anyway, it is sturdy and it is sure to be more compatible than the last method I used to mount my box. Still (start of ominous music), it is disconcerting and I'm left wondering why it is "Not compatible".

I've always had Yakima racks for 20+ years now. I used to have the MegaWarrior, and never had any problems with it other than slight rusting. Now, I have the OffGrid (Medium). . . it's definitely nicer/easier to put on the car, and remove when I don't need it with the way it attaches using straps. It does the job it's intended for with regard to carrying cargo. Basically, I mostly use it for road-trips between Thanksgiving. . . and leave it up for a couple months before taking it off again. Anyway, it seemed fine last year when I used it. . . took it apart again, and stored it. This year, the difference was that I drove through a good bit of rain on one of the major trips I took. Brought it indoors, took it apart, and a ton of dirty/rusty water came pouring out of the main outer tubing. Really, how is water getting into it? Somehow the design seems a bit off with the amount of water that made it into the tubing just from driving in the rain.
