I received the Rain gutter riser, 66' round bars, boat loader and SKS lock cores all well packaged and in good shape. These are for a 2020 Jeep Wrangler JLU Rubicon. The products were easy to install and will work great for loading and transporting my Hobie Outfitter Kayak. The Outfitter is a heavy kayak at 75 lbs unloaded. The Yakama Boat loader makes it easy for one person to load and unload the kayak. The rain gutter mounts and round bars securely hold the kayak for transportation. When not transporting the kayak the whole system quickly removes.
A big plus with ordering through etrailer is the excellent custom service, they will be my go to for future orders.

I chose the Yakima A1 raingutter towers for mounting a 96" Yakima crossbar for my Humvee wildfire rig rooftop gear rack. The towers are sturdy and able to handle the constant jarring expected in wild land fire fighting in rugged terrain.

Did an excellent job guys. The Yakima towers arrived on time and in good shape. Mounted right up to the canopy clips, installed the existing bars, kayak racks, and lock cores without any issues. All is ship-shape now. Will definitely come back to you guys again.
Thanks!

The customer service is exceptional. Nick went above and beyond getting the package out as well as dedicated follow-up. I will be ordering another roof rack for another vehicle. Even the return process was seamless thanks to Shelia. I ordered a tow hitch wiring harness a few months ago and received the same great service. Will continue to do business with etrailer.

Awesome Company!
In the time of COVID doing business with this company was a great experience. I was kept informed by email by their CSR team as to when they would ship product and when it would arrive. Worked like a champ. Product fit my 1974 VW Baja as promised and now I can finally add the much needed Roof Rack System.
Thanks etrailer for being there and taking such care of your customers.

Yakima rack arrived a day earlier than expected. All the parts were there instructions were clear took about half hour to install. The rack is a little noisy at highway speed. Darn, guess I'll have to take the back roads! Thumbs up to both etrailer and Yakima.

- Recommended Trailer Hitch and Roof Rack for 1999 Ford E150 SuperwagonThe Draw-Tite Ultra Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver # 41906 is a fit for your 1999 Ford E-150 Superwagon. It is a fit for 1995-2003 Superwagon models and will install easily with the included hardware. For the roof rack compatible with a Thule Cargo Basket or Cargo Box, I recommend the Inno Square Crossbars - Steel - Black - 65" Long - Qty 2 # INB165 and Inno Feet for Square Crossbars - Rain Gutters - 7-1/2" Tall - Qty 4 # INSD.

- Looking For Towers For Yakima Rain Gutter Roof RackHello Mel, thanks for reaching out. We do offer the Yakima 1A Raingutter Towers by themselves as a 4-pack. Take a look at the following: - Yakima 1A Raingutter Towers - Qty 4 # Y00101 Or, if you are needing just one single tower, we have the following: - Replacement Yakima 1A Raingutter Tower (QTY 1) # Y8810137

I confirmed with my tech at Yakima that the Yakima 1A Raingutter Towers (QTY 4) # Y00101 fit these Kwik-Rail mounts. For theft-deterrence, I recommend the Yakima Same-Key Lock Cores # Y07204. If you need Yakima RoundBars to go with the towers and the brackets, I recommend one of the following crossbar sets: - Round 48" CrossBars for Yakima Roof Rack System # Y00408 - Round...

- Can I Mount the Side Loader Mounting Brackets item # Y08002 on a Vertical Surface? Yes, they can Eric. The Side Loader Mounting Brackets item # Y08002 are designed to recreate rain gutters like you see on cargo vans. They do not require a specific angle to be functional. What you will want to look at is where you can mount them, and how far apart you need them to mount various items like bike racks, canoes, kayaks, cargo boxes, baskets or any other accessory. These are sold as a pair. Here are the rest of the parts you'll need to complete the roof rack: 1A Raingutter...

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.

- Roof Rack for a 2012 Ford E-350 Passenger VanThere are roof racks that will fit your 2012 Ford E-350, but the Swagman Roamer # S80510 you referenced is designed to work with camper or truck shells and not passenger vans, because it requires drilling into the roof and would be permanently mounted. The roof rack I recommend for your E-350 would be the Yakima rack, which consists of round, 66" crossbars # Y00410 and Yakima 1A Raingutter Towers # Y00101, which, as the name suggests, clamp on to the rain gutters of your van.

- Kayak Load Assist for Jeep Wrangler RoofI have a few solutions for you. The first one is using your current roof rack and kayak carrier setup while using a step assist like Powerbuilt Adjustable Tire Step # ALL647596. This gives you a large step that attaches to your tire to help with loading and unloading of your kayaks. The Rightline Gear Moki Door Step # RL100660 is another option. It hooks into your door's latch and provides a step to give you better access to your roof. This style is nice because it allows you to reach...

The replacement plastic clip spacers aren't available individually, they are included in the # Y8810136 replacement hardware bag, so potentially you could need both the # Y8810136 parts bag as well as the # Y8810008 replacement boots. This being said-as outlined in step 10 of the linked instructions you will not need the clip spacers if the backs of the roof rack feet do NOT touch the...

- How Do I Install the Replacement Clip for Yakima 1A Raingutter Tower # Y43FR?As far as the directions, Yakima only has instructions about how to mount the A1 Raingutters # Y00101 to the roof of your vehicle. I went ahead and attached those instructions for your convenience. Although, in order to install the replacement clip # Y43FR, you simply place the clip into place and then install the included rivet. Then, you attach the cap nut. I also attached a diagram that points to where this rivet/nut is located.

- Roof Rack for 2021 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited With Sky One-Touch TopI checked with our roof rack manufacturers, and there is one option for a roof rack that fits your 2021 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited with the Skye One-Touch retractable roof. This rack will work and still allow you to open the top so long as you use the recommended spacers. The entire rack for that will work is the following: - Round CrossBars for Yakima Roof Rack - 58" # Y00409 or 66" # Y00410 - Yakima 1A Raingutter Towers # Y00101 - HiRise Spacers for Yakima 1A Raingutter Towers # Y01101 You...
view full answer... - Yakima Raingutter Tower Roof Rack Parts for Truck CanopyI am happy to report that the hole spacing on Yakima Side Loader Mounting Bracket kit # Y08002 is indeed 4-1/8-inches center to center. Please refer to the linked photo. To complete a rack with these mounts you can use the 1A Raingutter Towers # Y00101, Lock Core kit # Y07204 and a set of Yakima round crossbars from the linked page. We have many lengths available, such as 58-inch bar set # Y00409. Other sizes are available too.

- Are There Limitations With A Rain Gutter Mounted Roof Rack On My 2019 2 Door WranglerThat may be the case with some rain gutter mounted roof racks, but not the Rhino-Rack SG Roof Rack for Rain Gutters - Vortex Aero Crossbars - Aluminum - Black, part # RRSG60. They crossbars can only be mounted at specific points. It also has a maximum weight limit of 88 lbs. Yakima's rain gutter roof rack for your vehicle has a maximum weight limit of 165 lbs. It will consist of the following: Round 58" CrossBars for Yakima Roof Rack System (QTY 2), part # Y00409 Yakima 1A Raingutter...
view full answer... - Roof Rack for 2022 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited for Roof Top TentAll of the roof racks we offer for your 2022 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited with the sky top roof have a 100 lb dynamic (when in use on highway) roof capacity including the Yakima Round Bar Rack # Y00409 and # Y00101 as well as the Rhino Rack roof rack part # RRVA150S-2, # RL210S2, and # RRVA-FK1-2. In general I prefer the Rhino Rack as you get a higher quality roof rack that has aero shaped bars which do better with wind noise as a better price than the similar quality racks that cost a lot more.
view full answer... - Can I Use Thule Rain Gutter Feet with Yakima Wide Body Artificial Rain GuttersI have a solution for you, but the Thule foot packs that attach to rain gutters like the # TH65BJ are only designed to fit on the Thule Artificial Rain Gutters # TH542. The Thule Rain gutter feet do work with most Thule crossbars, so you wouldn't need to get new bars in most cases, just the gutters and foot pack. With that say, if you wanted to use what's already there you can instead swap to Yakima Rain Gutter Towers # Y00101 and the Yakima Round Bars 48" # Y00408. Most roof boxes are...
view full answer... - Roof Rack for 2022 Jeep Wrangler 4xe with Power Soft Top that Allows Top to OpenI checked with Yakima and came up with a roof rack that fits your 2022 Jeep Rubicon 4xE with the Sky One Touch power top and will allow the soft top to open. You'd need the Yakima 1A Raingutter Towers # Y00101 with two of the crossbars # Y8810023. And then the spacer kit part # Y01101 which is what gives the clearance for the power top to open.
view full answer... - How to Carry Kayak at Front of 1992 Ford E-350 VanThanks for the photos, and although we do have a solution for you, the Curt Vertical Receiver Adapter # C45013 will only work with vertical OEM hitch receivers, which your 1992 Ford E-350 does not have. Additionally, any type of adapter is going to cut the capacity of your trailer hitch in half - including the tongue weight so adding any type of adapter with the type of cargo you are carrying is likely to push you past your capacity limits. The best option to carry your kayak is going...

- What Roof Rack Fits My 2019 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited with Sky One Touch Roof?I have a great solution for you. Unfortunately, I confirmed with Rhino-Rack that the Rhino-Rack Roof Rack Legs - Gutter Mount - 8-1/4inch Tall # RL210S2 and the Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars # RRVA150B-2 are not confirmed to fit your 2019 Jeep Wrangler 4-door Unlimited with a Sky One Touch roof. However, we currently do have a confirmed setup that will work from Yakima. For that system, I recommend the following parts for your vehicle: - Round CrossBars for Yakima Roof Rack - 58"...
view full answer... - Are Thule Feet Compatible with the Side Loader Mounting Brackets for Yakima Raingutter TowersTo use the Side Loader Mounting Brackets for Yakima 1A Raingutter Towers, part # Y08002, you have to have the Yakima 1A Raingutter Towers # Y00101 as these were designed specifically for these mounting brackets and the Thule feet are designed to work with Thule fit kits. Once you have the brackets and Raingutter Towers in place you can then use the appropriate sized Yakima round bar like the 48" long Round Crossbars # Y00408.
view full answer... - What Prevents the Knobs on the Yakima 1A Raingutter Towers From Coming LooseEssentially, the tension that the towers # Y00101 are under are what prevents them from loosening. To prevent the knob from turning you can install lock cores, # Y07204. When locked the knob the system cannot be loosened.
view full answer... - Which Artificial Rain Gutters To Use with Yakima 1A TowersYakima makes artificial rain gutters for use with the 1A towers # Y00101 with the part # Y08002 which would be what you'd want to use. The Rhino Rack gutters might work but they've never been tested so it's hard to say. The Rhino Rack gutter dimensions are 6-1/2" long and 1-1/2" wide.

This is the longest available roof basket we have for your Sprinter. I checked with Surco and they do not list any of the Surco Safari Rack 5.0 Rooftop Cargo Baskets for Factory Rails like part # SPS5084-1101...

- Do the Yakima Side Loader Mounting Brackets Have a Weight Capacity RatingThe capacity of the Side Loader Mounting Brackets # Y08002 is going to be limited to the bar capacity or roof capacity, whichever is lower. In general, the raingutter feet, # Y00101, and crossbars will have a 165 pound capacity. You will need to consult the vehicle owners manual or manufacturer of the vehicle or item you are installing this on to determine the capacity of it. Always go by the lowest capacity.
view full answer... - Compatible Rack For 2021 Rubicon With Sky One Touch And Yakima ShowDown Kayak CarrierIf you want to operate your Sky One-Touch Power Roof on your 2021 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon, Thule and Yakima both have a fit. Rhino-Rack does not have an option with the necessary clearance. The Yakima Raingutter Towers are only compatible with their round crossbars. The 58" crossbar length is a good choice because the Yakima ShowDown does require some crossbar to extend beyond the tower. This Yakima rack would consist of the following: Round 58" CrossBars for Yakima Roof Rack System (QTY...
