How To Mount Two Thule Hullavators On a GOBI Stealth Roof Rack

Question

Question:

2017 Jeep Wrangler 2 door soft top with a GOBI Stealth roof rack. I have 2 Wilderness Systems Pungo 105 Kayaks. I would like to mount them side by side using 2 Hullavator Pro lifts on Thule Aeroblade crossbars. Is this possible and what parts do I need?Same vehicle, same GOBI rack. If I wanted to mount the Thule Aeroblade crossbar to this same rack What towers or connectors would I need? Tubing diameter is 1" to 1 1/4".

In order to mount two Thule Hullavator Pro Kayak Carrier and Lift Assist with Tie-Downs part # TH898 on a GOBI Stealth Roof Rack your best option would be as you mentioned to install a set of Thule crossbars because there must be a crossbar overhang (crossbar extends past side rails) of 4" in order to clear which the GOBI Stealth Roof Rack doesn't have.

In order to mount Thule crossbars on a GOBI Stealth Roof Rack your best option is to use the Evo Raised Rail Feet # TH710401 which should have no problem wrapping around the side rails. Then you can use the Thule ProBar Evo Crossbars part # TH713700 which are the only Thule crossbars long enough for two Hullavators which require a 76" long crossbar at a minimum. The Thule AeroBlade crossbars are no longer available but will work with the Rapid Crossroad Feet if needed.

The Thule Hullavator Pro Kayak Carrier #TH898 can certainly be installed onto a roof rack that is not Thule brand. To determine what size crossbars you need, you will want to measure from the center of one roof rail to the center of the next roof…

Hey Fernando, so our best option would be the version of the same Timbren Axle Less kit but it was designed for off road tires part #T99GR. The max tire size this works with is 35x12.5-20 instead. Only other difference is that it has a 4 inch lift…

Aside from a slight change in the appearance of the crossbar (the WingBar Evo has some boxed edges as opposed to the completely smooth front of the AeroBlade) the biggest differences are the rubber strip on top of the crossbar and the weight…

I recommend the Thule WingBar Evo roof rack for your 2024 Subaru Outback Wilderness. For this you will need the Crossbars #TH711320 and Feet #TH710401. I prefer this system as the crossbars use a 2-piece channel seal which allows you to easily add…

That is correct. The only difference between the Thule WingBar Evo Crossbars #TH711400 and #TH711420 is the color. The #TH711400 is Silver and #TH711420 is Black. Both measure 53 inches long and feature the tapered TrailEdge shape to create an…

The Replacement Load Stops for Thule Aeroblade Load Bars, Ladder Racks, or Thule TracRac CapRac #753-3761 will sit 5" above the crossbars. The 5" height does not include that piece that sits inside the T-Slot of the crossbar so it will just…
