Yakima Basket- Loadwarrior or Megawarrior??

[Andrew Larson]

I am looking at getting a yakima basket to put on to my 4runner. My parents have an old yakima cargo box that has dimensions that are incompatible with my factory crossbars. However, I believe if I put a basket on top with an adjustable bar in it, I will be able to mount the cargo box on it. However, I don't know whether to go with the load warrior, or the wider megawarrior. I would like a wider rack so that I could fit canoes and kayaks on the basket next to the cargo box, though I am concerned with noise and aerodynamics of a basket extending beyond the sides of the car. Any experiences with the megawarrior? I know most people tend to mount the load warrior on 4runners.

I have the Megawarrior, it does not extend past the sides of my 3rd gen, actually it is about the right width to match up evenly with the sides, wind noise with just the basket on top of the factory crossbars was barely even noticeable with the fairing installed, as far as aerodynamics go, I'm sure there is very little difference between the two.
