Family camping trips can be a little cramped, as even the smallest tents, sleeping bags, and backpacks take up a ton of space in the car--and that doesn't account for the coolers, camping chairs, canopies, and family dog. Enter the Yakima SkyBox 18 rooftop cargo box, which stores a bunch of your gear in a single, out-of-the-way location. Designed to fit crossbar spreads as short as 24 inches, the SkyBox 18 includes quick-installation mounting hardware that accommodates round, square, and most factory crossbars. More importantly, the SkyBox 18 offers 18 cubic feet of storage space, so you don't have to cram everything in the trunk or back seat. Thanks to the drag-minimizing aerodynamic shape, the cargo box won't dramatically boost your gas consumption on long road trips. Other details include an extra-stiff lid that vibrates less than other cargo boxes and is easier to open and shut with one hand; an integrated track system for such accessories as a cargo net or base pad; a new lid shape that's easier to grip; an improved security latch that keeps your stuff safe; and a black matte anti-scratch finish. Also equipped with SKS locks, the SkyBox 18 measures 92 by 36 by 16 inches (L x W x H).Family camping trips can be a little cramped, as even the smallest tents, sleeping bags, and backpacks take up a ton of space in the car--and that doesn't account for the coolers, camping chairs, canopies, and family dog.

yakima skybox pro 18 is a winner
Shipped fast and is a great buy for the money. saved over 200 buying here. The skybox locks down on my stock GMC Yukon rack easily and is very secure. opens smooth and is pretty sturdy compared to some of the older boxes Ive used in the past. heading out this week on a road trip, but so far very happy with this purchase. fits my 6'8" surfboard just barely at an angle, but it fits and that is the important part. Great features and like I said for the money great buy!

Love it!
Went on top of our Odyssey for a 2000 mile road trip into the mountains. Rain, snow, sleet ... kept everything dry and secure.
Love the extra space that this frees up in the car!
Delivery bad, product good.
The actual product is very sturdy on top of my 2012 Toyota Highlander. I definitely recommend that people get the Pro version because it comes with the net and pad.
Install is very easy - as other posters have mentioned, the first time takes a little bit because you have to get your cross bars in the proper position as well as the clamps on Yakima. Once that is complete, I dont see why future installations would take more than 5-10 minutes - it is a very easy install.
CON:
The worst thing about this product (well, really, Amazon's issue) is the delivery company they use. Other posters have mentioned this but I always think they're blowing smoke. They use AGS - which has terrible customer service. After Amazon shipped it, I received an email from AGS stating that product was headed my way and I needed to schedule delivery. It gave me a link to schedule delivery. So I scheduled delivery for a Monday morning. I took the morning off work and waited and...
