magnusonsubie Posted November 5, 2016 Share Posted November 5, 2016 What parts don't fit? It's a long box. I was thinking one of the side benefits of this box over the 624 was anything would fit in the 660 length wise. My skis are 189cm long. The interior of the 660 is 72in which is roughly 181cm. My crud skis would fit but the pow sticks are just way too long! 2005 Vader Wagon Material Tests on Ringland Failure Piston I should have held off and purchased a wagon instead of the spec.B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PDREALTOR Posted November 5, 2016 Share Posted November 5, 2016 I was confusing exterior dimensions. Really glad I went with the 660 vs. the 624, which is limited to 168 cm. Anyways.... thx for the compliments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ashwinearl Posted November 9, 2016 Share Posted November 9, 2016 Having run my bikes into my garage three times over the past decade, I have decided that I don't meet the minimum intelligence quotient to continue to own a roof rack. What are you guys running for a 2" hitch that works with whiteline swaybars? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xt2005bonbon Posted November 9, 2016 Share Posted November 9, 2016 I am actually planning to get a hitch rack as well. Looking at the 1up brand. They are pricey but top notch quality and absolutely NO contact with the forks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only the 1 1/4' hitch is tucked up nicely. http://i.imgur.com/MhjrA8I.jpg Edited November 9, 2016 by Rhitter My OBXT build Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ashwinearl Posted November 10, 2016 Share Posted November 10, 2016 Yes, scraping is one of my concerns. I am on Konis and Epic Springs. I have an old 2" rack already hence why I'm looking to a 2" receiver. The only real reason is to avoid the need for a 1 1/4 to 2" adapter. I have no real reason for why, just one less thing to deal with I guess. It might be better to get the nicer tucked up 1 1/4 version and adaptor to use my existing rack?

Depends on how many bikes you are carrying. I got mine because I was carrying three downhill bikes at 55 pounds each. But if I was only carrying two I would go with the 1 1/4 version. I'll probably be pulling my off at some point and going to that smaller version so I stop scraping. I am slightly higher than a Legacy. There was supposed to be a 2 inch hitch that bolted up closer, but that project has taken forever and I am unsure what happened to it. Seems to have died just as it was about to be released.

coop3422 Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 Has anyone used both a wind fairing or wind jammer? I have a Yakima rack with round bars, and while the wind noise doesn't drive me crazy, I'd like to reduce it. I read the wind jammer works on some cars but not others. It's a fair bit cheaper than a wind fairing, and I also read the wind fairing hurts fuel economy a little. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a fair bit cheaper than a wind fairing, and I also read the wind fairing hurts fuel economy a little. Try wrapping ~10 ft. of paracord around the bars before you get the fairing. Super cheap at any army surplus/outdoor specialty retailer and it helped quell the crazy whistling my OEM square bars made at freeway speeds.

kzr750r1 Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 Finally bit the bullet and picked up the Yakima bits for this pile on the roof. Also have a third frontloader for a three bike config without box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xt2005bonbon Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 thanks for posting this picture. Is thisnthe skybox 16 or 18? I've been debating the past few months to either get a skybox or a 16cu ft stowaway2 box. Thing is I have to be able to carry at least three bikes. And since I still own two king cobra racks, been thinking of buying a third one, keep the bikes on the roof and get that stowaway2 box. Not cheap though.. Should also add that whichever set up I select, I want to be able to easily access the trunk. Big deal for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kzr750r1 Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 It's the 16. The 18 would have been far too long for my needs. Plus this just allows the rear hatch to fully open if placed correctly on the roof. Guess my attachment capacity is at it's limit since I can't upload any more pictures.
