This roof rack was exactly what I needed. We bought a couple of kayaks and I was tired of throwing them in the bed of my truck and taking up all of the space. I attached the rack to my hard tonneau cover and now I can bring the kayaks and still have room for all of my gear. Lining up the rails was a little challenging during the install, but if you take your time it turns out great. Definitely recommend this product.



by:

Great product and outstanding customer service. I’ve ordered a few things from etrailer and it’s always a great experience.



by:

Started off with a few missing parts but was able to get it sorted out. The bars are great except for the whistling. As soon as I get above 30 mph the bars create a loud whistling sound. Other than that I have used them with no problems.

2017 Toyota Tundra

Service team at etrailer.com is great to work with. Had some issues but all got quickly resolved. Once all parts were delivered the installation went well. I cut the tracks to install on my DB - gives me flexibility for bed access and future storage capability. Also added additional HD cross bars.



by:

Easy install. Instructions were clear and pictures were helpful. Install time by myself was 3 hours without beer. Well built racks. If it’s going on a truck topper I recommend to remove the top. I couldn’t imagine installing this well it was on the bed of the truck. Box was really damaged in shipping but all the parts were there with no scratches, that’s a win. Slight whistle at 30-40 mph but nothing after that. ‘08 Tundra with Snug Top Shell.



by:

Product is fantastic, however it was missing the security allen key, so I had to find a local hardware store that carried them. Thankfully, one did.

I ended up having to buy the roof rails that are riveted in, instead of the ones included in this package. The price was about the same as buying everything a la carte, except I have an extra set of rails if I want to use them in the future.

Very well built, definitely beefier than similar Yakima or Thule products.



by:
2013 Chevrolet Silverado

Very high quality set, especially for the price compared to other big brands. Relatively simple install but I did have an issue getting the turn knobs to tighten enough to completely seat the rails to the camper shell, but a few extra washers helped fix that. Wonderful that it comes with a complete kit and good instructions!



by:

etrailer shipped everything as ordered and quickly. Their support team let me know that the order was handled throughout the process and their follow up was terrific. The installation went smoothly and looks fantastic. Everything needed was provided. The only part I would like to see changed is the length of the rail mounting bolts. I had to use nylock's and flat washers under my canopy lid to the design of my Gaylord. If the bolts were a 1/4" longer the supplied hardware could have been used. I will be using it to carry longer ladders and will be adding a basket in the future for additional storage when needed. It looks great and the will work great.

Good quality and heavy duty. The instructions were NOT accurate, they described parts and pieces from some different product. Similarly the butyl seals included were all smashed together and could not be separated. 3M 4200 was a good workaround. All came together are some cannoodling, trial and error.

Once installed the rack was great. Easy to attach or remove the crossbars, trim appearance and little wind noise, Id buy another without hesitation.

The rack was received in 2 days. However some of the parts were short per the material takeoff and the assembly instructions. For example, I ordered the 1600 (63 inch track) rack. This rack has 16 bolts that fasten to the camper top. However only 12 tightening knobs were supplied in the fit kit. When I notified Michelle at etrailer, she said they would notify Rhino. A few days later I received an email from Michelle telling me that I had to send her pictures of all the packages included in the box with the bar codes. Stupidist thing I ever heard of. Was like no one believed me. After taking and sending the pictures, I asked Michelle for an update. Left her voicemails and emails. She never responded back after that. After about 5 days called and spoke to Kyle. Also told him that I needed to transport some kayaks the following week. Apparently that had no affect on anyone because it took another week to finally get the knobs from Rhino on Dec 24. which would have been too late to transport the kayaks and would have cost me $250 to ship them.
Due to a complete breakdown in communications and quality customer service both from etrailer and Rhino, I went on eBay and was able to purchase a complete fitment kit for $9 so that I could finish installing my rack and avoid the shipping charges on the kayaks.

2001 GMC Savana Van

Well built product with fast shipping and fairly clear install instructions (which seems to be rare these days).The 65" bars are perfect for my GMC Savana work van.
I found that the actual square bars are just a bit too big-around for most of my roof accessories to securely clamp on to. I've got a Thule Force XT L, and a Yakima SlimShady Awning. Neither of them can securely clamp around this size of the square bars. This is no fault of of the Rhino-Rack product, it is my fault for not doing enough research. Just be warned to thoroughly research if you have intentions of mounting accessories to the bars.



by:
1998 Dodge Ram Pickup

My only complaint is that the package was delivered open on one end. but all the parts were there and it looks great on the top. looks like a great roof rack.



by:

I ordered these one year ago and they have been well used on my truck. They arrived quickly and were just as described. Noah was a big help in making sure I received the right product for fitting my truck. The directions were easy to follow too. I like being able to lock them as well. Great product and great price!

  • Recommended Roof Rack for Leer Topper on Toyota Tacoma
    There are some similar systems to the Rhino Rack # Y01-140B, but they're all going to be rated similarly and I generally believe that Rhino Rack makes some of the best products in terms of durability, so that would be the system I recommend going with in this case. This is a track mounting roof rack system that mounts to the roof of your Leer topper via tracks; this type of installation does require drilling into the topper and has a capacity of 220-lbs. This rack has 63" long roof tracks,...

  • Roof Rack Recommendation for Truck Cap on 2016 Chevy Silverado 2500
    For your application I recommend using the Rhino-Rack Heavy-Duty Bar Roof Rack for Camper Shells # Y01-140B. This is under the 7" height clearance that you're looking to avoid and it is very customizable due to the tracks and higher 220 lb weight capacity when compared to other options. It is worth noting that you'll want to double check the weight rating for your truck cap and keep from exceeding the lower of the 2 ratings.

  • Recommended Roof Rack To Install On Bed Rails Above Tonneau Cover On a Ford Ranger

  • Will Aluminum Camper Shell be Strong Enough for a Rhino-Rack Roof Rack and Yakima Cargo Box
    It all depends on the capacity of the aluminum camper shell. You would need to contact the camper shell manufacturer for the weight carrying capacity of the camper shell roof. Ideally you would put the tracks from Rhino-Rack roof rack # Y01-140B towards the edges of the roof where the camper shell is the strongest. Ultimately though it comes down to what the manufacturer of the camper shell says. The roof rack itself is rated for 220 pounds but if the camper shell is rated lower then that...

  • Where to Install Yakima Camper Shell Roof Rack on Snugtop Shell of 2018 Ram 1500
    The part # Y01-140B is a Rhino Rack HD roof rack setup for camper shells but you most likely are referring to the Yakima HardTop SL Roof Rack # Y01618.

  • Is 220 lb Load Rating of Rhino-Rack Roof Rack for Camper Shells for Static or Dynamic
    The 220 lb load rating for the Rhino-Rack Heavy-Duty Bar Roof Rack for Camper Shells # Y01-140B is dynamic - so while you're moving. Please note you'll want to check the weight rating of what you're installing this on as well.

  • Roof Rack That Can be Installed on Leer Camper
    There are roof racks available that you will be able to install on your Leer camper. There are no special mounting brackets needed, but you will need to install tracks that the roof rack feet will sit in, and the crossbars will then attach to the feet. The correct bars are going to depend on the length you need, so you'll want to take a measurement of the width of the camper shell and choose from there; you can also choose from either silver or black crossbars. The correct rack will be...
