Quick Mount legs let you mount 2 Sportz crossbars to RTC- or RT-style roof rack tracks. A trigger system allows tool-free installation of the legs into the tracks, and the locking covers secure the system to your roof.
Features:
Specs:
The bases of these Rhino Rack legs easily mount into your Rhino-Rack RTC- or RT-style roof rack tracks with included hardware. Just slide the nuts into the tracks, line up the mounting plates, and bolt the bases down. After this initial setup, you can leave the bases in the tracks.
Molded inserts help keep out dirt and provide a finished look when there are no legs and crossbars installed. To install a leg, simply remove the insert.
Once you've set up the bases, installing and removing your roof rack is easy. The Quick Mount legs have an integrated trigger system that creates an easy, tool-free installation.
To install a leg in a base, pinch and slide the internal triggers together.
Lower the leg onto the base and slide the internal triggers apart to secure the leg in the base.
Once the leg is installed in the base, replace the cover and lock it to help secure the system to your roof.

Thanks for all your help! Project turned out awesome! (Pics attached).. Easier to mount directly to bed sides.
All seems OK as an open box and slightly used item, as expected for paying for an open box item. Thank you!
These assembled easily and are much stronger than the factory system on my 2004 Chevy Trailblazer. I had a little bit of a problem trying to seat the pins in the saddles but other than that these are very secure.
The instructions tell you to slide the large hex nuts into your roof rail tracks and then assemble the rack leg base to the nuts. This is fairly difficult to do as the bolts were not long enough to reach the nuts resting in the tracks and you can't get your fingers in there to lift them. It was much easier to assemble the complete track leg bases with the Hex nuts installed loose then slide them onto the tracks and into position.
If your tracks are elevated off your roof at all you will find that these bases make any bars you add much higher than your OEM roof rack, the bars are probably 3 inches higher than my OEM bars although this is not an issue for me it may be something you may want to consider.
I had a hard time finding mounts for the original side rails for my trailblazer and had to pay more for the Rhino Racks but the quality is there.
The Vortex Crossbars slide right on to these with no issues.
One tip; have a step ladder on each side of the vehicle because you will be going back and forth to each side as you install these.
As well built as other offerings from other companies. However, this setup seems more versatile. I bought these to use with original TracRac cross bars (pre-Thule). It took some modification to make these fit properly (remove half the width of the raised ribs on the legs/towers and about half the height of the raised ribs to get a good tight fit). Also, the T-slot nuts are too wide for the TracRack, so I'm using longer, but narrower nuts to make it all work together. Sure, I could have bought the Rhino crossbars, but I already had these TracRac bars laying around. A win-win.
great product. sturdy easy to install and held my thule cargo box (also an etrailer purchase), really well! Fit perfest in my 2002 Excursion roof rack factory rails and easily adjusted. One note for excursion owners is to mount the front leg of the rack more directly over the rear door vs moving it up towards the front. I was tempted to move it as far forward as I could so I could stand in the rear door opening to access the inside/contents of the box and the weight of the box and contents actually bowed the roof steel in and out while driving, causing a popping noise, once i moved it back a little it was fine. Also making note that I have one of the biggest boxes you can buy so weight was at a max for the roof/roof rack for me YMMV depending on what you have on top of the crossbars. overall good solid product and the cost savings for the Rhino rack vs other brands is a BIG plus for me.

Still on the roof of the 02 excursion and has been used multiple times with the thule cargo box, ski trips camping etc. still great still works flawlessly.
I purchased a used gray topper for my Tundra, repainted it to match my truck, and purchased from you the mounts and rails to put on top of it. The entire project was GREAT, and the and rails have just topped it off (see what I did there?) with a great look and very functional utility to add some long storage capability to a very short-bed truck. Thank you so much, it was expensive, but the quality is fantastic and the look is very sharp!
Fairly easy to install quality materials, no wind noise on the highway .I had these on for a week or so. They are pricey but think they wiil work fine.

So far So Good
Fit was great, easily attached to my current bars. Look to be good quality and combined with the security feature as it comes with a locking cover.
The item was actually the Rhino-rack roof rack complete system including Aero- bars and tracks for camper shells without existing tracks ( and not the quick mount legs pictured). I received the shipment with literally half of the components missing and had to wait for the missing parts to be sent. Still ended up with one part missing so had to wait again for that part to be sent. Took a total of 3 months from the time I ordered until I had all the parts to complete installation. I still gave 4 stars due to the quality of the product ( and at half the price of a comparable Yakima system), and because of the diligence and response of representatives (Amy and Tiffini) who helped me get the missing parts. I will note however (from reviewing other posted reviews) that shipping orders for this item with missing parts, and even with half the components missing, does not appear to be an isolated event)
Excellent product. Strong, secure and easy to install. Everyone at etrailer was helpful and knowledgeable.
Works awesome and was the best solution for carrying bicycles while towing travel trailer
This product is very intuitive in its design. Yes, it has a quick detach feature, but it can also be canted up or down, depending on the curvature os the vehicle roof. Attachment to the roof rails and the Vortex bars seems solid and looks great. And, if you transported camping gear to a site and don't want to take your roof rack offroading, simply remove the rack with the QD feature and snap on the included covers. I'm very pleased with my purchase!
2022 Ford Maverick with a Rhino Rack on a retrax xr tonneau...love em both. THANKS etrailer.
Wow! It's a real well made and engineered product and was delivered fast. I got it so I could remove it due to garage door clearance... It is heavy duty enough to carry our boat and 2 kayaks. The key lock, pivot system and removal system were well thought out and so easy.
Works great like the quick disconnect for taking off cross bars
My Thule UpRide Roof bike rack mounted perfect in the T-Slots! Mounts easily and no issues in the Truxedo T-Slot rails on my Ford Ranger.
Mounts perfect in Truxedo T-Slot rails.
Very fast shipping, and exactly what I needed for our truck rail system with tonneau cover.
my rhino crossbars and a rhino basket purchased else where months ago. With dogs traveling in the backseat and limiting my cargo space with a locking retrax bed cover I needed a little bit more room for those extra things I couldn’t live without in my travels. Paula S was the bomb and assisted me with the perfect size setup. Super fast shipping.
These are excellent! Check out my YouTube channel, Road and Reel, to see how I used the to carry 4 bikes above my Retrax Tonneau cover.
Purchased the Rhino Quick Mount Legs and Vortex-Aero bars, to mount on our Retrax XR Pro Tonneau cover. As always buying from trailer is easy, Terri N make the experience much better, from order to delivery. Terri ensured compatibility with existing hardware, and that everything needed is included.
The Rhino system is an easy install, the fit of the T-slot plate style nuts was tight, eliminating the damage that can occur with loose fitting slot inserts. Assembly can be completed on or off vehicle, as long as all accessories are fitted first. If done off vehicle, accurate measurements will be needed for the base fitment.
We paired the Rhino system with 1up USA bike racks, and a Yakima box.
Incredible product super reliable , over a year of having it not a single issue , ima super hardcore fisherman , and also use the bed of my truck for various activities I can’t believe how easy this is too completely disassemble and put back together , this is a thief deterrent. Use it on a F 150 2022 truck with retrax electric bed cover
I bought these racks for my Ford Transit and I couldn't be happier with the racks or the service from trailer. The rhino racks added a nice touch to an awkward looking van with its great looks and perfect functionality. Reading reviews about other racks making howling noises while driving made me a little hesitant , but am pleased to say, no noise whatsoever. I've added a basket to the racks and everything has worked perfectly. We do a lot of traveling,(2 adults,4 kids, 3 dogs) and the racks have provided exactly what we needed. Thanks etrailer for the best price and great service
I love the Rhino-Rack Quick Mount Legs for Vortex Aero Crossbars. At first they were a pain to crossbar on, but they I used my thumbs correctly on the lock, and haven't had an issue since the first alignment. They really served their purpose and lifted the old Sears Sport 20-SV cargo top carrier off of the roof for easier mounting and for now hold the kayaks. I do need longer crossbars, but that's a future problem that etrailer.com will be glad to provide a solution to.
Excellent product and construction. I also have used it for mounting a cargo carrier for vacation and they held the weight with contents with no issues.
Great product! Works well with our Thule Tracker II rails installed on our truck cap. Solid system that is easy to install and remove.

I like the products pretty much considering it was the only option available for my vehicle. The roof racks do cause a bit more wind noise than I had hoped but Im used to it now and just turn the radio up a bit more. I did go back and read my reviews again and they are still accurate a year later.
