anyone out there using a carrier box on their stock excursion racks

The first thing you should do with your factory roof rack cross bars is yank them off, they wreck your paint.

I think yamika does.

Thanks, I am planning on taking them off because there touching the paint. I just got back to california from a trip to Oklahoma city and It would have been nice to have a carrier on top for suitcases. Anyhow there was plenty of room for the five of us.
