Just put a Rola on yesterday so I'll get some pics up when I can. Raining here today so dunno if I'll get to it or not. Build quality seemed good for the price, I'm sure yakima is better but super pricey. Doing research I did read that the Rola will rust on the inside after a few good rains. To combat that I plan on applying some RTV sealant.ThePainClinic wrote:Looking to see pics of roof top cargo baskets. I'm on the fence with either the Yakima Load Warrior or Rola Vortex. Just wanted to get some ideas pros and cons etc.
I lost 2mpg with my 2" lift and open country at2 33" tires. and I lose another mpg or so with my thule rooftop box on top.canderso wrote:The Pain Clinic-
This is what I expereinced: 2" lift with factory tires did not affect fuel mileage at all but the addition of the roof cargo basket dropped my avg fuel performance almost exactly 1mpg.
For me, the biggest impact on fuel performance has been towing. When towing a 16' boat my avg fuel performance drops 2mpg.
I think the biggest upcoming factor will be new tires. When the time comes, I am planning to put on a set of 33" BF Goodrich All Terrain tires (TKO). I suspect I will see another 2mpg loss with the larger tires.
