Question:
I am looking at options for mounting a roof rack to my ARE truck topper. Thule and Yakima sell artificial rain gutter mounts that can be bolted to the topper. The rain gutter racks then may be attached to the artificial gutter. I like the Yakima. Will it work?

Expert Reply:
The components in the photo you referenced are from Yakima. Yakima's artificial rain gutters are the Side Loader Brackets # Y08002.
The roof rack towers for the rain gutter system are the Yakima 1A Raingutter Towers # Y00101, which come in a quantity of 4. These towers are designed for use with the Yakima RoundBar crossbars.
Yakima crossbars come in a variety of lengths. Depending on how much overhang of the crossbar you want, the Round 58 Inch Crossbars for Yakima Roof Rack Systems # Y00409 may be a good length for your application. If you'd like a different length, the bars are also available in 48 Inches # Y00408, 66 Inches # Y00410, and 78 Inches # Y00411. All of these part numbers listed include 2 crossbars.
The roof basket I like is the Yakima LoadWarrior Roof Rack Cargo Basket # Y07070. I've attached a review video of this cargo basket for you.
