Default Powrfuluk Expidition rack risers?

Anyone buy these on 2025 rack yet. Need to load Thule box and us based brand is wayyyy to much. Anyone recently import any product from uk can tell me how that works as well?

I have them on a 2022 date code rack and they’re great, I saw Powerful UK came out with the updated fitment for the new style bar ends (ie 2025/2026 or whatever it is), so you should be fine. I keep mine on the truck all the time, they’re great, and I’ve used the bars with the Thule box several trips now. Great stuff.

And to import, just pay the stupid fee when the shipper bills you (or maybe powerful pays it up front and charges you at the time, I havent ordered from them in a year) ... it won’t be too much on an $80 order .

I ordered something from the UK last October. When it arrived in the US, I got a bill from DHL that I had to pay before they would deliver the item; they sent what I paid to the US Treasury. (The foreign companies don’t pay the tariffs. We do.)

Total tariff was about $100 on a $248 item.

hey skystak- i would take a look at the Thule Caprock cargo box kit. This will fit on our expedition roof rack crossbars and are super easy to take off when not needed. $140

Just to mention there are two other options if you have a Thule box with recessed floor and the expedition rack.


here is a simple $10 DIY solution that works perfectly.

Another solution is to do nothing at all. Just cinch the box down with the clamps. The floor bends. Also works perfectly.

I used to use the former but now use the latter.

I have a 3D printer as well. Too bad someone doesn’t just post the files and then we can go to Lowe’s for the new longer bolts. I’m looking at a golf bag and three suitcases or so plus dog food. So I’m thinking 18 cubic will do it. Bad reviews on Yakami skybox coming open and breaking handle locks. Thule appears to be better quality in the Motion 3 xl line. But keeping an open mind.
