Do you see any reason I couldn't strap a cargo box down to this rack?

It would probably depend on the weight. I don't know what the maximum weight limit is for the rack. It holds 3 bikes so bikes don't really weigh that much.

There are bungee-cord straps that hook the bag to your rack. Just be sure not to forget to strap them on...made that mistake twice and ripped the bungee cords off the bag once I started riding

Not sure what type of cargo box will fit, if deeper/wider than most kayak's then no.

Funny you should ask that question. That is exactly what I had in mind when I purchase the bike rack. I thought I could move the cargo box as far to one side as possible giving enough room for the bike rack. It does leave enough room to mount the bike rack but not loaded with a bike on it. It will not do what you are trying to do. In my case it is either the bike or the cargo box but not both. Hope this helps.

The cargo carrier clamps onto the 2 rectangular bars that go across the roof which are ajustable. The bars are part of a seperate roof rack. I am not familiar with your vehicle.

Have not used with a cargo box, however they work great with a bike rack. If installed properly the rails are very solid.

No I'm pretty sure that does would not be a great idea. Reasons, the 2x2 under the cargo rack I think is made out of aluminum so not strong 2nd reason is that the dimension of it is wrong. It is of the same dimension as your bike rack so it would not go into the 2x2. If you need both the bicycle rack and this cargo rack you need a one to two hitch adapter which you stick into the cars hitch then you may be able to use both assuming on tougeu length of your bike rack.

This rack doesn't "do" anything. That's the beauty of it!You buy the additional components for whatever you want to carry. I'm sure you could strap a surfboard to them, though.

If you are looking for something like a bike carrier or small rack for totes, I wouldn't be afraid of it. But as the first person said, the further back you go, the less weight you can carry. I have one of these and it is awesome, but I only use it as it was designed. Even though it is on a farm pickup.

No it should be fine without attaching the straps to horizontal crossbars. In my own experience I have crossbars so I did attach it to them. However, it fits very securely to the sidebars on my luggage rack. I really have had a great experience with this car top carrier. Good luck.

I don't see why it wouldn't hold a tool box. Ratchet straps to tie it down maybe?

Yeah the curved end would probably get in the way. They sell another rack that mounts to the frame and would probably be better and doesn't have the curve on the end. Don't get the one that's especially made for the click in bag.

Though you could likely find a way to use your rack in the existing opening, it is not designed with a pin hole if your hitch did slip in the receiver. I imagine a good hitch shop could fabricate something and drill the pin hole to secure your rack to the cargo carrier.

Sorry! I can't help with that...gave it as a gift and owner of rack is on vacation and i can't reach him to ask. Good luck!

I chose and use a Thule soft-sides cargo carrier, but you could use their hard shell cargo carriers as well. You have to attach the cargo carrier to the roof rack, of course. Hope this information about what I have done helps.

I suppose you can get an adapter to do so-------that would cause the rack to be extended out further and not sure that is a good idea. I also think that it might wobble around a bit unless you could get a bolt through connection.

You'd have a hard time keeping bikes on this rack. It's excellent for cargo (boxes, luggage, coolers), but I would not recommend it for bikes.
