Today we're taking a look at the Thule Xadapt3 Load Bar Adapter Kit. Now this kit allows you to mount a Hullaport Kayak Carrier onto the Thule Exporter height adjustable load bar. So those load bars are a little bit thicker than standard aero blade or aero boars and so that's why this kit comes with the longer bolts. It's also designed to fit the Thule Cascades Ski Cargo Box. The adapter kit comes with eight bolts and the bolt size is M6 X 80 mm.That's going to do it for today's look at the Thule Xadapt3 Load Bar Adapter Kit.

The order was processed immediately and received with no issue at all. Product is as described.
The bolts were authentic and shipping was very fast!
Emailer provided amazing customer service for a product that cost much less than the competition. They emailed me to confirm the order when i placed it, again when it was shipped, and then today to verify that the order was delivered. Delivery was fast and well-wrapped. This was a great purchase experience.
Fast shipping and wonderful communication...Great product..What I needed.. Thankyou
Just what I needed. Fits the thicker rails on our luggage rack much better.
I bought an adapter kit that Thule no longer provides but was available through etrailer.com. It was delivered quickly, worked perfectly, no problems/delays. Great service.
Great service and customer service...great product as expected. I highly recommend using etrailer.com...they are awesome!
Product was reasonably priced, came quickly, and fit perfectly on our Jeep crossbars.
These lag bolts work great just long enough for them to fit my Thule Kayak carrier.
Thanks for great service and a quality product.
Exactly what I was looking for to place my kayak racks on my vehicle. The previous bolts were too short to use on my current crossbars. This fixed that problem inexpensively.
I needed longer bolts to mount my Thule Summit on my VW Touareg. The OEM bars are very thick and the standard bolts are too short. These 80mm extended length bolts are the perfect solution.
Not even close to fitting on the xsporter.. inch easily to short…had to go get longer bolts at the hardware store
The metric carriage bolts we ordered for our Thule kayak racks were not available elsewhere, and the quick service was welcome since we are ready to hit the waterways.
Called and spoke to Sam G at etrailer. He assessed my situation and needs, recommended the right product. I received my order quickly and had excellent communication from Sam G. I would definitely come back to eTrailer to order my roof rack or trailer needs.
Thanks Sam G!
These bolts should be included in the Thule Kayak carrier kit, since the kit claims to fit factory roof racks with 2" diameter cross-bars. They won't fit unless you have these longer bolts.
I ordered Thule adapter bolts and was surprised at how quickly they arrived. I had intended to purchase them directly from Thule but their minimum shipping cost was [...] and their website indicated that the item "should" ship within 5 days.
I found the bolts at atrailer.com, shipping was [...] and they shipped the next day. A very positive experience!
Exactly what I needed for my Thule Hull-A-Port Pro Kayak carrier. These bolts allowed me to assemble the kayak J-Hook carriers onto the crossbars of my kayak trailer. Perfect fit.
These bolts solved the issue when there was limited thread engagement on original bolts assembling hullaport kayak carriers on aeroblade bars. I've made many trips to the water without needing to worry a nut might vibrate off. Fits nicely, performs well. Would have been hard to find elsewhere.
I purchased the THXADAPT3 to be able to install my Thule 834 hull a port kayak rack onto the 1.5" square bar of my Adarac Custom Truck Bed Ladder Rack - Steel with Aluminum Crossbars.
I believe it will work but I wish the bolts were a bit longer. See images.
I have been satisfied with etrailer's support and service.
Thanks
Switched from square bars on my old cars to the evo bars- these are perfect to adapt my old hull-a-port pro kayak racks to fit the evo bars.
These bolts fit perfectly and now I can carry my kayak on my Sylvan Sport Go with my Thule carrier (from circa 2006).
These were exactly what I needed to attach my older kayak racks to my new crossbars!
The screws were of right length and thread. Unfortunately...and it is not depicted in video...Square lock under the bolt head was of the wrong size.
original is a 7mm square, new bolt is a 5mm square. screw will rotate when tightening in the Thule.
What can I say. Needed same sort of bolt only longer so it would accommodate a new & improved roof rack bar. Cleverly designed so you couldn’t just go to the local hardware store and…. Or specialty fastener store for that matter. Bottom line it secured my ‘J’s’ to the bar. Thinking of ordering another set. Any ‘deals’ for a return customer?
Just what I needed...extra length bolts to fit my Thule Wing Bar Evo.

Quite well...the larger bolts were needed for kayak racks due to a different roof rack design. It worked out great and continues to do so.
