 Perfect for an Xterra August 12, 2010
A. Williams (Colorado Plateau)
Installation on the oval crossbars of a 2010 Nissan Xterra's original factory rack was very easy, and my mountain bike feels very stable and secure in it. There is no problem attaching to the Nissan's rack bars, and neither the Forklift nor the bike interferes with the rear door when opened. A first class item, well designed, and very low profile when not in use.
Anyone planning on using it on an Xterra should be aware that he will need something to step on to be able to lift the bike up to the rack.
When judging the price, be aware that you will need one of Yakima's SKS lock cylinders.
ADDENDUM: I just returned from a 2,800 mile trip, sometimes on extremely rough 4WD roads. Though Yakima says this is not for "off-road" use, the rack certainly worked well for me. You must, however, really crank down on the fork clamp, and if you have an old bike without a depression at the end of the forks, this will be especially true.
 Yakima Fork LIft Mount Rooftop bike Rack May 17, 2010
B. Aldrich (California)
It works well on my 2010 Subaru Outback. It holds the bike securely and is easy to get the bike on and off. The rack takes some time placing and removing it from the car. I bought two of these racks and a universal Thule brand wheel carrier. Yakima didn't seem to have a good wheel carrier for the Outback.

The Yakima Fork Lift Rooftop Bike Rack is so far the best fork mount style rooftop rack that I have seen or used. One of the nicest features with this rack is that it mounts to factory cross bars as well as aftermarket round or square bars. It mounted very easily to my Subaru factory bars. The skewer mechanism is easily tightened and locked with one hand which leaves your other hand free to hold the bike steady or eat a burger. I also added the lock core to ensure that the fork skewer remains closed during travel. I spent way too much time comparing different racks but I am very glad that I purchased this one!
Very Sturdy, even at 80+ MPH October 7, 2009

I have this mounted on my 2008 Subaru Impreza STI with OEM Factory bars and the fit is perfect. I had a problem with other racks that were made for either round or square bars. My OEM bars are large and oval-shaped, and this rack had no problems fitting on. The clamps are very sturdy.
I took my mountain bike on a 5 hour drive to Mammoth Mountain from Los Angeles, even hitting speeds of 80+. The rack held up very well. I prefer the fork mounted design of this rack because it seems like a more secure way to mount the bike. I only wish it came with a separate front wheel holder so I didn't have to throw the front wheel in my trunk.

Why spend more money for those adaptors and other stuff that add to the price. If you already have a factory roof rack, you are ready to bike. This attached perfectly to my factory roof rack (2000 toyota 4runner) and holds strong with all of its tightening latches. The best thing is that my bro can use it with his car because it adapts to most factory roof racks. So why spend 300+ bucks to get the bike rack, adapter, and locks when all you need is fork mount, easy install roof rack. Could not find the lock that comes with this one (though I know it is capable of a lock) but honestly with how fast and easy it is to remove the rack, there is no need to lock it to your roof, just throw it in the back. Love it, and I would buy it again and again
