Yakima DeepSpace 10 Cargo Box installed

[ColoradoAdventure]

There is no noticeable air resistance or wind noise. I did not notice a measurable reduction in efficiency either.

It does have holes and U clamps that go around the Rivian crossbars just right. You do have to situate it just right so it doesn’t barely rub the roof black plastic piece.

Hope that helps!

Looks good; curious if there is any additional wind resistance with the box sticking above the cab that small amount. Also curious if you had to drill holes in the box to mount it to the cross bars (do the deepspace boxes have mounting holes that the EXO gear lockers don't?). I picked up a couple of the EXO gear lockers over the weekend in anticipation of my R1T delivery in a few weeks.

Thanks for posting pics!

Is it possible to take a picture (inside and outside) of the mount you used or a link to where you purchased it. Thank you.

You can see a detailed image in the user manual found here and in the snip I have included.
The Clamp mount that is included with the box works perfectly and it is padded. You tighten it from the inside with a plate that distributes the tension/weight.
Hope that helps!

Looks great. Perfect length.

I'm pondering a box because I fear my powder skis aren't going to fit in the bed. But they definitely aren't going to fit in this box...

FWIW my longest skis juuuust fit in the bed diagonally (Armada Tracer 188s). It's close enough that when I added the BuiltRight molle panel I ruined it for myself, lol. I can still fit them but it flexes the tips a bit which I don't love.

I just leave my slightly shorter all-mountains in the bed in case an impromptu after work night ski breaks out, otherwise I mount my skis to a Yakima FatCat over the bed which works great. I just don't like to leave them there full time so they don't sit wet and rust the edges.

After seeing a Reddit post, I went and picked up a Yakima Deep Space 10. It fits and looks great over the bed. Will help carry stuff we acquired on our 1000 mile trip back home.

Bespoke

Yep. I got the FatCat also...

How much room do you have on the other side? Would you be able to add the 6 or 4 FatCat EVO 6 Yakama ski/board Rack? Do you have a photo looking at the tailgate straight on?

So guess I'm just surprised or curios not trying to knock you. But with the frunk, cab, under seat storage, gear tunnel and the bed you still need more storage space?

We might need more storage. Headed on a road trip to South Carolina for a few weeks with the wife and dog. The dog occupies the back seat and needs his supplies (food, treats, bowls, toys, etc). We take supplies and kitchen stuff for our Air BnB. I will be shooting sporting clays so a shotgun and shooting stuff goes. I will also be fishing for redfish so a whole host of fishing clothing and equipment will also go. My wife travels with at least two bags and I will have one rolling duffle. It starts to add up.

Does it come with mounting hardware that is compatible with the factory crossbars?

Yup! Did not have to buy any additional hardware. Just takes a minute to adjust it so it’s centered how you like and to cut the rubber pieces that seal the sliding slot on the inside.

Could you fit two - side by side? Any other alternatives for a storage box for the bed of the R1T - on the cross bars?
