Hi guys,
I am needing to put a cargo box on my 2006 Nissan Armada. I have read through many posts about this on this forum. From what I've read the following work with the 2004-2007 Nissan Armada's factory rack with the large 43-45" crossbar spread:
-Sears X-Cargo XL 20, you have to redrill the holes, but it fits.
-Yakima Skybox 18 or 21. Yakima says it wont work, but I see some posts that it will.
Many of these posts are pretty old. Has anyone tried this out on the latest Yakima boxes? Do they still work or has the spacing changed. Please don't say from Yakima's specs it doesn't look like it will fit because as others have already posted the specs say one thing, but they actually do fit. So does anyone know if the newer boxes have the same mount spread as the older boxes and have they tried them on the factory racks for the 2004-2007 armadas and do they fit?
It looks like, from the owners manual, that Nissan used to make a crossbar that you can add to the back part of the factory rack to mount the cargo box near the rear, but Nissan doesn't make it anymore. Plus I would rather put the money into a better box.
Thanks for everyone's help,
Isaac
