Wow! Thanks to Paul in Burlington, VT for showing off his sweet Yakima set up on his sweet Subaru Tribeca, which perfectly shows how nicely Yakima attachments can be mounted to the Yakima Loadwarrior Cargo Basket.  Paul is no doubt a biker, and has himself three Yakima Steelhead bike racks paired with three Yakima Wheel Forks.  His LoadWarrior, as you can see, is mounted directly to his Subaru factory crossbars.  Perhaps he uses that to carry loads of camping gear when he’s not going biking.

Man this is a fantastic customer installation featuring a 1999 Land Rover Range Rover roof rack system with a cargo luggage basket mounted and accessories connected to the basket including a spare tire holder and ski-snowboard carrier. Specifically the Yakima Q Tower roofrack system (using 2 pairs of Yakima Q clips) is attached to the Range Rover pockets on the rooftop trim strip. The Yakima MegaWarrior roof basket with the Yakima MegaWarrior extension is connected tothe Q Tower crossbars. And because the Mega Warrior basket includes integrated crossbars, the Yakima FatCat 6 ski-snowboard rack is able to connect to the basket. The Yakima Spare Tire Holder basket accessory is used to carry the spare tire.
