These heavy-duty HD crossbars are built from strong aluminum and rated for 500 lbs of load capacity. Whether you’re carrying kayaks, canoes, or a fully loaded cargo box, the solid construction keeps everything stable on long trips. The tough build gives you confidence hauling gear over highways and rough roads alike.
Each bar includes integrated tie-down points on the endcaps, making it easy to secure straps or cords when loading gear on top. You don’t have to hunt for anchor spots or worry about shifting loads mid-drive. It’s a small detail that makes a big difference when you’re strapping down paddleboards, tents, or lumber before heading out.
The top channels are lined with rubberized strips that help reduce wind noise and drag. When you’re driving long distances with your rack loaded, those strips make the ride quieter and smoother. They also protect the channels from dirt and weather so the bars stay ready for whatever gear you mount next.
These crossbars are designed for versatility with outdoor gear. They work with most bike, watersport, snow, and cargo carriers that either slide into the top channels or clamp around the bars. That means you can switch between ski racks in winter and kayak carriers in summer without changing your setup.
For extra peace of mind when parked at the trailhead or campsite, this system is compatible with Yakima Same Key System (SKS) lock cores. Add them later to help deter theft of the entire roof rack setup while keeping your gear secure wherever you travel.
Ratings & Reviews
I had a difficult time identifying whether these were the correct adapters for the rack towers that I was purchasing to fit my tracks but that has more to do with yakima doing everything a-la-cart instead of having kits that include everything you need if I hadn't already had the HD bars on my other rack and wanted to be able to transfer them to this rack I probably wouldn't have went to this expense because I think they are overpriced.AS far as etrailer is concerned I always receive great service and products and they are always well packaged and never damaged by poor delivery care and always fast delivery speed.
Yakima SkyLine Towers are well-designed and well-executed. They easily fit into the Yakima Landing Pads and form a tight fit when closed. And they also fit nicely into the Yakima JetStream Crossbars when following the Yakima instruction manual and various YouTube videos. I did run into a snag at first where I found the rubber seal on one SkyLine Tower getting caught on the JetStream Crossbar track, but after that I was careful not to let that happen with the other towers.
I find the appearance of the Yakima SkyLine Towers to match their level of quality in materials and design.
Very nice quality towers. Very heavy duty! They have a cool "snap" on / off mechanism for quick removal and installation.
The roof rack works well. The only problem I have is noise and while I'm carrying a ladder there is none. I figured if I take the ladder off I'll split a piece of pvc pipe and mount that on the front of it. But they work well for what I needed for work. The service from etrailer was excellant. I dealt with Carol and she did a very good job in helping me.
It’s awesome. I originally got the feet to direct mount to the roof instead using the factory rack (come on, Subaru!) and now am Dialed with room for two bikes and a rocket box on top (all modified for T track).
I choose etrailer simply because they mailed to APO. I’m a AD SM, and a lot of companies don’t shop to APO. As soon as I ordered my product, I received an email as a courtesy from etrailer letting me know I had an individual that would be tracking my product every step of the way, reassuring a smooth process. Their site functionality was easy, their customer service was great. I wanted to know if they had bike racks that would fit my cross bars, I got a email right away with a suggestion and a link that would fit my needs. I’ll definitely order from etrailer if I ever need to again.
Bought these so I can use all of my "round bar" legacy equipment on my 2020 Outback. Note, this is only one of three items needed to transfer over the round cross bars. This item is a car specific base that fits where the factory bars are removed, You then add a tower and a specific bar adaptor one after another.
The intonations was smooth and the pads include the tools to remove the factory bars. The other two components mated nicely to the landing pads. Being able to remove the rack quickly and easily is a plus.
The easy removal and the "all plastic" nature of the pads is all why this is a 4 star item. The landing pads have a bit of flex and towers have some back and forth play when they are mounted. The plastic covers for that cover the pads when the rack is off do not appear all that secure. Losing them is more of a cosmetic and possibly a wind noise issue but a more secure connection would have been appreciated.
I put it with the Timberline system and worked great
Fast shipping and great updates on my items. Thank you!
They fit perfectlly and solidly on my 2021 Toyota Highlander. The instructions are clear and entirely accurate.
All parts of adapter were not needed. Instructions were a little unclear.
Required for Yakima HD crossbars using timberland tower system.
The landing pad kit allowed me to use my rack attachments and rails from my old car. Works great.
Great product and even better was the service with etrailer! These guys make it happen and delivery was super fast. Thanks for a fantastic experience, will be a return customer.
Yakima HD bars 60”
2018 Ford Expedition
These are a must for HD bars and the shipping was fast! I wish there was some way to know I had to get these because they are not included.
I ordered the Yakima roof rack for a 2019 Hyundai Ioniq. I went with the heavy duty one for extra strength but it is quite a bit thicker, likely increasing wind noise. So I might have chosen the aerodynamic lighter weight one if I was to do it again. Also, I needed to get larger bolts for my kayak holder to get around the crossbar. The instructions and video on website were very helpful but they did not explain well how to adjust the toe and pitch. For the toe adjustment, you have to push the metal post with the tool before tightening. That was not obvious. For the pitch, it helped to do that once the towers are attached to crossbar. Then you can tilt tower while cross bar is laying flat (upside down). I ended up having to add tilt on both front and back crossbars for them to be flat when installed. Website said only front one would need to be pitched. I am very pleased with the look and sturdiness of the product. My Hyundai Dealer had zero options for this car.
This item was just a component of a 4 or 5-part order that I have been working on in recent months. All of the items would receive 5-stars along with the eTrailer fulfillment, customer service, and video product review/installation teams. I appreciate your commitment to outstanding service.
Works perfect for our SUP with the tie down loops. Great for building materials as well. Looks great as well.
easy install. Worked as advertised
Excellent customer service and prompt delivery. They even followed up to make sure everything was correct with my order. I highly recommend ETrailer!
