Adam: Hi, everyone. Adam, with etrailer.com. Today, we're going to be taking a look at the Yakima Eyebolt. These are going to be able to work with a lot of different bars. We have the Yakima HD bars here. They're also going to be able to work with the JetStream bars.
Also, the FlushBar and our RailBars, anything with a T-Slot accessory. We have all the hardware to fasten it into place. So let's just go ahead and tell you all about them. What's nice about these Eyebolts is we can move them around. All we've got to do is basically just twist it a little bit and we are going to be able to slide it across our T-Slot on our bars.
Whenever we find a place, you got to twist it into place and then just take a screwdriver or something just to kind of twist it down, to get it nice and tight.Another cool thing about it being able to move is for those, let's just say a ladder or even a kayak. It's always nice to have the tie-down points right on the edge in the outside of our cargo, whatever we may be hauling. Whenever we use the side ones, those straps are going to go all the way around and might not get the tightest most secure fit. This way we can adjust it and customize it to whatever we may be hauling. So these eye bolts are going to be made of steel and they are going to have a nice corrosion-resistant finish to them.
So you don't have to worry about them rusting and wearing down over time. They are going to measure about two and eighth inches tall about an inch and three quarter inches wide. And it's going to be about three quarter inches thick.So in my opinion, these holes are going to be the optimal size because it is going to be able to fit your normal J hooks. But even if you have a double J hook or even just two ratchet straps, you're going to have plenty of room to be able to tie down your cargo properly. So this is going to be a great way just to get, for example, a ladder tied down, let's tie these in, we're going to be able to ratchet strap these down.
It's probably going to be a little bit better than if we we're to use the farther out ones. So whether you're hauling a ladder, lumber, kayak, whatever it is, or if you're just looking for more tie-down points, this is definitely going to get you that custom fit for whatever you're hauling.So what do you have to set up these loops We are going to have a washer that's going to go on top of the bars. But this bottom plate is what's going to slide into the bars. But they give you two different options. We have a thicker one and a thinner one, depending on what kind of bars you have, you can use either or, but the kit comes with both. So the first thing we need to do is remove our cap here. And the only reason we're removing this is just so we can get our rubber inserts up top out.So once we do that, I did already cut these, someone's slide this out. So if we have our rubber already out, we really don't have to remove those caps because they are pretty cool. We can actually install all of our truck accessories with them installed and slide those down. And if you can manage, you can just go ahead and plop this back into place. So once we have it in the spot that we want, all we got to really do is just literally just twist it, ready, tidy. And you can take either a tool, screwdriver or whatever it is just to get it real tight. And that's literally all there is. Well everyone that's going to do it for our look at the Yakima Eyebolts.

One year later, they look as good as new. I use these all the time, due to their versatility and Mobility.
Burley and easy to use.
etrailer is the best! Great staff! Great service! Great product selection!
This rack is well made rock solid when installed looks good functions great and is very easy to install
Great customer service and super fast s hipping.
Great customer service. Etrailer seem to have products that other sites are out of. Will definitely order from them again.
Yakima is a great product. eTrailer comes through once again.
Ordering was a breeze. Fast shipping. Excellent communication. Product arrived well-packaged. Product easy to install; completely as described. Yakima products are superior-performers. eTrailer is an excellent source for truck & trailer products.
Nice Product! E Trailer came through when others could not!
Thanks E trailer we will do more business for sure!
oh yes and great prices and free shipping sealed the deal!!!
These work as expected, will be using these to for additional security when traveling with my kayaks as opposed to running the strap to the front bumper. Also, will be using these to secure the awning on my truck when deployed.
Price was great and shipping was fast.
Pricey, as all Yakima products are, but if you’ve selected Yakima as your vendor of choice for your rack system, you will most likely find these eye bolts handy for us with tie down straps and/or hooks.
Great addition to my Yakima OverHaul HD rack. I’m using the eyebolts to secure my paddle boards to my rack. They work perfectly.
Great service
Everything came fast and as expected. This is the second time I've ordered from etrailer because they had what everyone else was out of stock of. Everything was tracked from the point of order, to the person who picked, packed and shipped it (at the exact time it shipped). Super detailed process
A++++++
Thanks to everyone whoafe it happen. I will be shopping with you again!
me encanto este producto
Exactly what I needed. Fast shipping
Sturdy, hasn’t rusted, smooth circular surface is good for straps, easy to put on.
Great product and thank you for combining the eyes with my rail box to save on shipping and possible lost items by shipping together
The rails were spot on. Thank you for the quick response. The eye bolts, are what we needed.
DOES NOT FIT THE RETRAX PRO XR Tslots!
This is a quality product but it just doesn't work where etrailer says it will. Several employees are quoted on here as saying they fit the rails but they do not. The m10 nut doesn't even fit the opening for the track, the smaller nut fits but the bolt is too long so there's lots of play. If use these on your overhaul crossbars they're excellent but so far there is no eyebolt option for the retrax pro, including this set here. I've called Yakima and Retrax and both are confused as to why etrailer is recommending this fit.
Fit perfectly on the Yakima rails affixed to the top of my ARE cap. Will only need these occasionally to move mattresses etc. so this is a great solution.
This does not fit Yakima tracks. The eye bolts come with 2 different sized t-slot nuts - One that is heavy duty and one that seems standard (like I received in the landing pad 1 from Yakima). The problem is that neither fit the Yakima track (that I also purchased form etrailer). The track is not the problem as the landing pad 1 fits in the track as expected. The other issue is that etrailer is making this a me problem and making me eat the cost. Customer service has been terrible. "Austin B" emailed me stating that I could reach him at his email address with any questions. This was a lie. I asked how do I start the return processes for these eye bolts. I was ghosted. A week later I reached out to the general customer service inquiry and after 6-7 hours of waiting (normally this would not be a problem but their own website said they will reach out within an hour) I was finally told "this item costs more to ship back than the item costs".....and I was told to reach out to the general CS page with any further questions....so I cannot ask further questions to the CS that answered the last one. Awful CS. This is clearly the run around. Normally I would agree that I took the risk of ordering a product and it did not work but their own video of this eye bolt states that it works with (and I quote) "anything with a T-slot accessory." This statement is why I ordered this product. I should not be charged when I was lied to. I have been an etrailer customer for 13 years and have never had a bad experience until now. I will not be ordering from etrailer ever again. The lack of customer service is a huge eye opener (they used to be great) and shows how they have changed their level of service and CS policies. I will be contacting my credit card company to inquire about a stop payment on this purchase as etrailer is lying and misleading customers into purchasing a product that is clearly not compatible with other t-tracks.

Unfortunately, these eye bolts are meant to fit the Yakima HD Bar, JetStream, FlushBar, RailBar crossbars, and LockNLoad platforms only. They aren't meant to fit the tracks. If you can provide the part number of the tracks you have, I'd be happy to check for a solution that'll work for you.
Very solid well made eye hooks.They sit low on the tonneau cover rail so why remove.More style straps and bungee cords can be used compared to the cleats. Price is way better than cleats. Shipping was fast with tracking. highly recommend product and seller.
These rings go on the Yakima JetStream cross bars easily. They provide a very solid tie-down anchor without looping straps under the cross bars. They provide a eTrailer videos were very helpful in deciding how to best anchor our Kevlar kayaks on the roof of our Subaru Crosstrek. Sometimes we like to drive the little car when parking at launches is not truck friendly. We are seriously good to go.

Awesome year, we have gone kayaking every single week. We have explored open water and swamps near our house. The rings take any decision about which vehicle we can use off the table. We like the versatility and the sturdiness of the rings on our cross bars. It is a simple exercise to laid and secure the kayaks on our Crosstrek.

We originally talked about this eye bolt kit fitting with Retrax tonneau covers since it was listed on Yakimas site that they did. I reached out to Yakima who confirmed that they have not been tested with the covers and so we are updating our Ask the Experts questions about it.
