Thule or Yakima cargo carrier?

[Ripsnort]

Anyone have a picture of their cargo carrier on the 4Runner?
I put my crossbars on today, and I'm thinking that the shark fin might interfere with a cargo carrier? I need to know before I buy a cargo carrier (we travel alot with Lacrosse players all over the country)
Thanks!

There were a couple of threads on this just recently, and the consensus was that if you use Thule or Yakima crossbars it's not a problem, and if you use the Toyota SR5/Ltd crossbars it can be, but not always. Apparently the aftermarket bars are also more rigid, which helps stability and stuff.

THanks, that's helpful to know. The Toyota crossbars are most definately lower than the top of the shark fin.

Thule Boxter carrier works great using factory cross bars on a 2010 trail.
