Yakima Skybox12 Help???

[Keyek]

I am looking to add a Yakima Skybox12 to my setup. I have seem some stories on here about the cross load bars from toyo not being worthy of a set up with a box and the solution being crossbars from your cargo box manufacture. My question is the skybox12 worthy of purchase and can I mount the lowrider claw upside down like the U bolt example to decrease the profile so it sits under instead of over?

no, the claw will not fit all the way around the bar therefore you will have gravity working against you. I would suggest just going with the setup over the bar. It only adds a couple inches. Good luck.
