Only downside when it’s not installed: where do you put? This box is very fairly big and long at 81-inches small garages may have an issue.
SKYBOX LO CARBONITE INSTALL
Our vehicle here has factory-provided roof rails so the install was quick, with the box easily sitting on the rails and secured by large clamps. And the looks of the SkyBox 16 are deceiving, weighing only 47 pounds it appears to weight 3 times that, so it’s not heavy for a pair of adults to manage.
There is zero assembly and no tools required to get this big boy up top either, so installing and removing it is easy with two adults. Getting into the box is easy, so is the latch system with key. The box is designed with internal lid stiffeners for durability and easy open and close, plus it offers dual-sided openings for easy access on either side of the vehicle, which turned out to be handier than we expected. Plus, the tapered design reduces hatch interference while the SuperLatch security ensures the lid is secure to its base. Much of this is courtesy of the box’s 15-inch height, allowing things to be stacked. Not having to strategically jam and Tetris all our gear into the trunk was refreshing - it was nice to have some extra trunk space without needing to leave anything behind.
For an overnight camping trip, we managed to reasonably stow a great deal of stuff up there - from sleeping bags to firewood.
