I really want one too. I'm guessing a 33" tire would fit up there? If anyone could post a pic of a 33 in the basket, that would be excellent...I'm just a little curious to see how it looks.

I have a Load Warrior, it's great! Make sure you get the net for it too. I also have my bike rack up there too.

It's very similary to the Loadwarrior, but I'm pretty sure Thule and Yakima are not owned by the same company.

I've got the Load Warrior with extension. On the 2nd Gen you won't be able to open the gear basket but I don't use it anyway. And get the net.

I've had the LoadWarrior for about 5 years on a couple of different 4x4s, but recently switched to a Thule M.O.A.B. basket...it's not called the PlayPen anymore...they changed that about a year or so ago...maybe more. No, they're not the same company...but a lot of their accessories and mounts work together...for example, my Thule M.O.A.B. mounted up perfectly to the Yakima crossbars....the shovel/axe mount "almost" fit the M.O.A.B. I had to "tweak" it a little to get it to work...otherwise, yes, you can use many other Yakima bike and ski/snowboard accessories with the Thule baskets with no issue. I like the looks of the Thule basket better, and the basket is a little deeper as well. Here are some shots of the Thule basket on my Xterra:

Thanks guys...I love it as well It's getting somewhat of an "overhaul" in the next month or so...some exciting stuff going on with the rear bumper/tire carrier (custom fab work)...going to be something never before done on an Xterra...also, different tires, and just some rehab on the front end (new steering components, new t-bars, just overall better quality stuff as my front end is sloppy as a mofo). Was going to SAS, but now that's been put on the back burner indefinitely because of our recent news of a 3rd child on the way...so priorities of course have to be considered. I was wondering whether the Yak. Tire Carrier fit the Thule..not that I'd use it, but I was just wondering for info sake. Glad you got it to work out Anthony
