The aluminum JetStream crossbars are built with an aero-style shape that helps reduce wind noise and vibration while you drive. Rubber strips in the top channels seal against airflow and push down when you mount gear, so you don’t have to cut or trim anything. The result is a clean setup that stays quiet and steady on long hauls—whether you’re heading to the lake or across the country.
When it’s time to load up for a trip, this system gives you a solid base rated for up to 165 lbs. The aluminum construction keeps the rack lightweight but sturdy enough for your gear—like kayaks, cargo boxes, or camping loads. You can trust the strength when hauling heavy items over long stretches of highway.
Installing accessories doesn’t have to mean cutting rubber strips or struggling with tiny parts. The push-down strip design lets you press your hardware straight into the top tracks, and the strip closes around it when you’re done. It keeps wind out of the channels and makes swapping carriers quick and smooth.
For extra peace of mind, the BaseLine towers are compatible with Yakima Same Key System (SKS) lock cores (sold separately). Add them to help deter theft when your vehicle is parked at campgrounds, trailheads, or hotels. You can key them alike with other Yakima accessories for one-key convenience.
This complete roof rack system includes two 60" long crossbars, four BaseLine towers, and a custom fit kit that mounts securely on your vehicle’s naked roof. Everything sits snug and balanced for a finished look that feels integrated—not improvised. It’s a sturdy, aerodynamic base ready for whatever adventure comes next.

Amazing product! Use this for my kayak and canoe. After a year they are still in great condition and very sturdy. The site is very helpful and informative. Highly recommend this product.
Great product fast shipping
Solid build quality and easy installation on my '21 Mazda CX-5.
It looks just as pictured :) Great product and superior service! William took the time to help us decide what we actually needed and would work for us. He is knowledgeable in regards to his products and has an overall helpful attitude. It was such a pleasure working with him.
Thanks again and buy William lunch today!!
p/s we have not installed the product yet so I will send a picture once its taken care of
Roof rack parts were ordered correctly and shipped quickly.
Follow the instructions, and you can't go wrong on the self installation
Ackage came 2 days early the install was somewhat easy (did it by myself)
Did not get to mount anything to it but seems really sturdy. One thing I can say is mark out your mounting points with provided stickers then put up and make adjustments to the roof rack.
Yakima is always great, the bars are just right for my kayaks and look great too.
Happy with the purchase. Crossbars shipped and received quickly.
Your notice of schemes was a lot better than the yakima site provided. They did not suggest the scheme you did.
But when the products arrived, the instructions were by yakima. Generally worked as instructed except the tower to tower transverse mounting dimensions needed to be tweaked for a perfect fit.
Easy to install and sturdy. I carry a 9' pontoon boat on my camper shell using this rack at freeway speeds with no problems.
So far so good. Purchased these towers to use on a 2022 GMC Canyon with HD bars that I already had, primarily to carry my canoe. Yakima's fitting instructions worked perfectly and the whole system seems really solid.
Easy to install thanks to the etrailer video. I have used the rack system on many long distance trips including driving from South Carolina to Yellowstone.
Easy to install and met my need for hauling a kayak.
Work exactly as they should and hold everything securely to my vehicle without interfering with the car’s normal operation. etrailer had best prices based on my research. These bars are much quieter than traditional round bars and worth the added expense.
Excellent solution for my 2023 Chevy Silverado. In the past, I have had rails installed on the roof of my pickup trucks, but I find the BaseLine towers to be a better solution, since they don't permanently change the truck. Plus, they are much more solid than SkyLine system on the rails.
Love my Yakima roof rack!! It exceeds my expectations.great product. Also thank etrailer for the tec support! great staff always there to help thanks again!!
the product was exceptional. I would recommend it to anyone, who has a vehicle with a naked roof. It is a solid as a factory installed rack. Josh went out of his way to get me a replacement torque screw driver because the first one from Yakima was working properly.
The instructions were different for another set of bars. Was a pain to get right...all the measurements on Yakima were off...I figured it out on my own...should have got Thule or nicer bars ..end caps were not good either...flawed fit... otherwise will do just not happy with the product perse or instructions...delivery good...will see how they do.
Strong, Solid Bars, Super Light, and really easy to install!
These bars worked great for the roof rack on our truck. Thank you!
Really easy to install & work as specified. So happy with the customer support/service at etrailer.
Great UX for finding the options matching my car, and the baseline towers work great. Simple straightforward site, will plan to use them again when needed.
For those also buying crossbars for cars without roof rails, recommend taking a silver sharpie and marking the placement of the crossbars on the weather seal at the top of the door openings. Makes putting them back on way less of a hassle if you don’t want them on 24/7.
The yakima jetstream crossbar looks beautiful. Quality is great. Took my vehicle for a test drive, and i didnt hear anything loose or broken from the bars. Very satisfied with the product and the instructions were great. It was my first time installing a roof rack too.
Great product haven’t had any issues with it. Would highly recommend that anyone that’s looking for a roof rack system and a great seller at etrailer
