I just got a 02 4Runner today -- waoohh -- I want to get a roof basket and I have a buddy that runs a shop and he can get the Loadwarrior shipped in all for $210 and the extension for another $60. I assume this is a good price as he said it was his cost -- but with the extension, can the hatch of my 4Runner still open fully, or do I have to take the extension off to open the hatch - I've seen all your pictures of yak racks and some with extensions, but have never seen a hatch open. My 4Runner also has a sunroof and a factory roof rack. Thanks for any information: I'm sure I'm going to get the loadwarrior, and would like to get the extension, if I can open the hatch fully. I will be using the basket mostly for camping gear to take the two boys to the mountains --thanks

 

yes just silde it up on the stock rack.the back dust shield is about an inch off the rack on my.

 

Agreed. Only issue will be if you want to run a fairing on the front (that will anchor how far forward you can move your stock racks w/o running into the sunroof.

 

Should I have any problem covering the sunroof or opening the back hatch, if I got the megawarrior? thanks

 

Dunno. If you give us the dimensions we can give you comparisons to load warriors (with and without extensions). as noted above, load warrior w/extension is no issue as long as there's no fairing (ferring?).

 

it says the megawarrior is 52x48, while the loadwarrior is 44x39 and 62x39 with extension -

 

Should be no problems. If you get the standard width bars (Which I remembered what I got) there will be no room for bike trays (which is good if you want a clean look up top). And with no fairring you should have no problems clearing the hatch and the sunroof.

Happy racking!

 

Don't forget to post pics, as I am interested in how this looks. If it looks really good, then I might put it on my list of mods.

 

Here's a normal LoadWarrior



I take it off when I don't need it, which has only been once so far. That I needed it, so everyday use, it's off.
