Video Transcript for Darby Roof Rack - Complete Roof Systems - DTA968 Review
Today we're gonna be taking a look at the Darby Turbo Rack Universal Single-Bar Roof Rack. This removable rack creates convenient temporary cargo solution for your vehicle. It's gonna feature a strap-through design. So what that means is that the strap, or how it's secures to the vehicle roof, actually goes through the vehicle. So it's going to make for a quick and easy installation. It does not require any tools.
The strap is going to have a hook located on each end, and a cambuckle in the middle. So you would attach a hook to one end of the bar, open up the vehicle, run the strap through, open up the other door, attach the other hook to the connection point here on this end of the bar, and then simply pull the excess or the slack out of the strap through the cambuckle to tighten everything in place. The bar is made from a steel construction with a powder coated finish, so it's gonna be very sturdy and durable. It's also gonna come with your high-density foam pillars that are designed for strength and durability, and they're not gonna scratch or harm your vehicle's finish or your vehicle's roof. This is a universal fit for nearly any application. So this bar right here has adjustment points, so that way it can telescope.
And then it comes with inaudible 00:01:16 when it comes to the strap. That way it can stretch across the width of the vehicle on the inside as well. So adjustable design makes the unit a really nice universal fit for almost any application out there on the market. It's a single rack design but it is expandable, so you can add another turbo rack for a complete roof-rack system. Or you could pair it with Darby's Extend-A-Truck load extender, that's sold separately, for long loads that need extra support. Now the bar length, when it's fully retracted, measures 45 inches from end to end.
If you extend it, all you gotta do is push in on that area there, extend it out until it snaps into place. So fully extended, it actually extends out to 60 inches. And it's gonna be able to adjust in 5 inch increments, from 45 inches to 60 inches, which again makes this a nice universal design. So it's gonna adjust in 5 inch increments. The diameter of the bar, the thicker portion, is 1 and 1/8 of an inch.
The more narrow portion of the bar is 1 inch in diameter. When it comes to the capacity, what you need to do is refer to your vehicle's manual for the roof capacity on your vehicle. And you're gonna be limited to that capacity. When you're ready to set it up, super simple. It's a really nice, easy to use design. Basically these pads right here can be adjusted. And you wanna put that on the outer point of the roof. So you have the roof at the top of the vehicle. The edge starts to taper off, where it goes down to the side of the vehicle. So you wanna place it on the flat portion up top, before it falls off to the side. One pad goes on one side of the vehicle. The other pad goes on the other side of the vehicle. Adjust the bar to the length that you need. Run the strap through. You know you connect the hook on this side. It's got three attachment points on this side. Run it through, connect it to one of the three attachment points on this side, pull the excess out. Make sure it's tight, and then you can go ahead and secure or install your gear to the bar itself. But that's gonna be it for today's look at the Darby Turbo Rack Universal Single-Bar Roof Rack.

Shipping was very fast! I have not used either product yet, but I did mount both of them to check for quality. They seem like they will work fine for picking up lumber and hauling my 14' canoe. My only concern are the gaps in the welds on the extend-a-truck. It still seems sturdy but I will check it periodically. Overall, I'm pleased with this purchase and etrailer.com 71621

I purchased the rack with the extend a truck. Unfortunately after 4 uses the strap that holds the roof rack bar became weak at the clamping point and I wasn’t able to secure the rack properly. Is there any other heavy duty straps or replacement straps? I was suprised as this strap seemed very low quality for the application it is used for. 539302

I recently ordered the Turbo Rack. Once the order processed I received an email saying the product wasn't in stock and that one of their associates would check other warehouses to locate one. Next day this product shipped! And it processed over the weekend! These guys are great and I'm happy that they went above and beyond to satisfy a customer. I will keep this in mind when ordering in the future. Much appreciated! 259361

Product looks good with one exception... one hole punch out left a sharp tag from the hole at the edge. I will break that off with pliers and file to avoid getting cut. Pleased with shipping time. Easy to use. Will look for other products on your site. 114632

Nice product. Maybe a bit pricey for what it is, but it is universal. I am using it on the back boot of my Citroen 2CV and have it set to the minimum length. The foam pad supports are sturdy and soft enough to not scratch the paint. I ordered these and had them at my door within a week. 192879

The concept is really great for people like me who own a car a little bit tricky to put a roof rack on put the round bar is not a good idea, i had to drill a hole and put a bolt through the J and the round bar because the J's spin around the round bar. The same thing with a square bar would be a lot better, excellent in fack. 78118

Used it on my Ford f150 super crew for a 17ft aluminum canoe. Quick installation and did what I needed it for. Only complaint, is that the rubber pads did shift at little during bumpy turns. I would recommend product, service was fast and painless. 262363

I have not used the product yet, however I have mounted the crossbar and everything looks great. I know I will have no problem with the kayak I plan on carrying. I really appreciate how fast the product got to me. I was told I would not get it until thursday or friday and it came today (Tuesday). I will definitely order from etrailer again and let my friend know about you as well. Thanks again, Marc 228441

Both turbo rack and bed extender were easy to put together and install on my F-150. Lining up the t-bar level with the roof rack was simple and both lined up well. The extender is fairly loose in my standard truck receiver but is a common problem and will just add a tie down strap to secure it better. Good products.... 76380

Do you have a question about this Roof Rack?
- Will The MaxxTow MaxxHaul Truck Bed and Roof Load Extender Level With My Bed Cover
- The MaxxTow MaxxHaul Truck Bed and Roof Load Extender part # MT70231 has three adjustments points that are designed to level the load to the bottom of your bed. The extenders can either be positioned upright or parallel to the bed. However, none of these adjustments points will create a level surface with the top of a tonneau cover.
I do have a way to haul your kayaks while the bed cover is installed. To do this, you will need to use the load extender in the upright position while also...

- For just the crossbar that comes with the part # DTA944-968-924 you would want just the part # DTA968. This can fit nearly any roof style so it would fit on your 2013 Chevy Silverado. I attached a review video for this crossbar for you to check out as well.

- Of the products you mentioned the best option for you to carry your kayaks with your 2018 Chevy Colorado is going to be the Yakima DryDock Load Assist and Support Bar Y02449-3. This is designed to be used with roof racks in order to carry things like kayaks or other gear, while the LongArm # Y01149 simply extends the bed of your truck. It can be used for kayaks but the DryDock is going to offer you greater functionality by leaving your truck's bed free to haul other gear as need be.

- The Darby Turbo-Rack Universal Single-Bar Roof Rack, # DTA968, is a universal fit item so there is a high degree of probability that it will fit your Kia Forte The Length ranges from 45 inches to 60 inches which for crossbars is a wide range. For a complete rack, you would need 2 of these.
There is no specific weight capacity of the steel bars because they can carry more weight than most vehicle roofs. You will need to consult the vehicle owners manual to determine what the weight carrying...
view full answer... - Is a Third Crossbar Required when Adding an Extension to Rola Roof Basket 59504
- Having a third roof rack crossbar is not a requirement for adding extension # 59504-EXT to Rola cargo basket # 59504. Of course the more support the better but it is not required. It may also be difficult to get a single bar that is the same height as your other bars as well but you could use the Darby Turbo Rack # DTA968 for when the basket is loaded and then take it off when it is not loaded.
view full answer... - Adding a Third Roof Rack Crossbar on a 2011 Toyota Sienna
- Roof rack crossbars and mounting feet have to go in specific places on a vehicle for strength and stability. If your 2011 Toyota Sienna does NOT have the factory side rails that run front to back then the only option is the Darby Turbo Rack # DTA968.

- Yes, the Thule Xsporter Pro ladder rack # TH500XT-XK3 comes with special mounting brackets that utilize the factory track system in your 2016 Toyota Tacoma Double Cab. I have included a picture showing the bracket. You can see the square part that fits in the channel of the track system.
There isn't a custom roof rack that will fit your truck but you could use # DTA968 as a temporary solution.
There are no tonneau covers that will work with the ladder rack because the ladder rack...

- There might be an extension for the basket depending on which basket you have. If the basket were longer then it would fit the factory roof rack on your 2010 Toyota Tacoma from what I understand.
We do not have side rails that will work for this application. But something that could work is to add a third bar between the 2 factory bars using the Darby Turbo rack # DTA968. It isn't the prettiest girl at the ball but it will work. It secures to the roof by running a strap through the...
view full answer... - Availability of Single Darby Roof Rack Crossbar for Truck and How it Installs
- For just the single bar of the # DTA944-968-924 that you referenced you would want the part # DTA968. This installs by running through the interior of your vehicle and strapping there.
If you check out the install video I attached you can see just how it installs.

- Other than the front mount hitch for your 2015 Ford F-350 such as # 65049 you will also need at least a single roof rack bar and a carrier of some kind to hold the canoe. This would be in addition to a support used in the front mount hitch.
For a single roof rack bar you could save some money and use the Darby Turbo rack # DTA968. It uses a strap that runs through the interior of the vehicle to secure to the roof. Otherwise I recommend a regular roof rack with 2 crossbars for more support...
view full answer... - Can Kvh Satellite Dish Antenna be Mounted to Crossbars or Roof of 2014 Ford Taurus
- According to the installation instructions for the Kvh Satellite Dish that I reviewed online you will require a crossbar spread of 35-1/2" to mount the antenna to a roof rack. However, the roof rack systems available for the 2014 Ford Taurus max out at a crossbar spread of 28 inches, so the dish will not be compatible with your vehicle's short roof.
We do offer the Darby Turbo-Rack Universal Single-Bar Roof Rack, # DTA968, (you will need two of these). These bars could be spread to...

- As long as you stay under the weight capacities for the roof of your Ram 2500 yes, the Darby Turbo-Rack Universal Single-Bar Roof Rack # DTA968 that you referenced would work for you to transport your 10 foot portabote. Like you said you would need a pair of these.
Since your Portabote folds down a surf board carrier like the Thule Express Surf Strap # TH531 would work well. See attached review video.
view full answer... - A Dual Hitch Receiver for Tow Bars and Flat Towing a Vehicle Can Not be Used to Tow a Trailer
- First, the dual receivers like # RM-077-4, cannot be used for towing like you have said. One issue is that you would have to add a ball mount to the end of the receiver and that extra link in the chain can create too much stress for anything other than flat towing.
Though this item is rated for 400 pounds tongue weight, the tongue weight of a trailer can fluctuate as you travel whereas a vehicle is being towed with 4 wheels on the ground and has virtually no tongue weight. These receivers...
view full answer... - What is the Weight Capacity of the Darby Turbo-Rack Universal Single-Bar Roof Rack # DTA968
- The weight capacity of the Darby Turbo-Rack Universal Single-Bar Roof Rack # DTA968 is determined by the roof capacity of the vehicle you are going to be installing it on. You will need to refer to your owner's manual for the capacity.
It will work well with the Darby Extend-A-Truck Hitch Mounted Load Extender # DTA944.

- The Darby Universal-Fit Roof Rack # DTA968, will work on your 2008 Toyota Prius but you will need to order a total of 2. This universal roof rack has adjustable feet and bars to fit a wide variety of vehicles. The adjustable feet can accommodate different width roofs and come in handy if you have a sun roof so you do not place the feet on your sun roof.
Be sure you verify the weight capacity of your roof before loading cargo on this roof rack to ensure you do not exceed your roofs weight...

- You will not be able to use a custom roof rack for both vehicle since they have specialty parts designed only for a given vehicle. But there is an option that could work for you.
You could use 2 of the Darby universal roof rack crossbars, # DTA968. These mount to the vehicle roof via a strap that you run through the vehicle interior. It is not the prettiest set up but it is portable and you will be able to use it on the 2006 Chevy Cobalt and 2009 Chevy Silverado.

- I have a solution for you, but manufacturers do not offer a permanent kit for a Lexus RX 350 without flush side rails.
You do have options for a naked roof. These are the Malone Handi-Rack, part # MPG452 and the Darby Turbo-Single Rack, part # DTA968.
The Malone Handi-Rack is an inflatable rack system that allows for you to quickly add roof racks to your vehicle. They Include 5 anchor points on the vehicle. It also includes a hand pump for quick and easy inflation.

view full answer... - Is there a Ladder Rack that Will Fit a 2006 Chevy Avalanche
- Because the Chevy Avalanche has a unique bed design, there are no ladder racks that will fit it. What you can do is add a roof rack, see link, and also use a trailer hitch, like # C13422 if needed, and use the Thule Goalpost, # TH997, and achieve the same effect.
Or, you could use a universal roof rack single bar, # DTA968, the hitch, and Goalpost, which would be more economical than a complete roof rack.
view full answer... - Can Thule Artificial Rain Gutters be Used on a Toyota Corolla to Make a Roof Rack
- You could possibly add the artificial rain gutters, # TH542, to your Toyota Corolla to fabricate a roof rack but I do not recommend it because you will have to put holes in the roof. Instead, a custom fit roof rack is a much better option because it will be designed to fit your vehicle. I just need the year of your Corolla to make some recommendations.
We do also have the Darby Turbo-Rack, # DTA968, if cost is an issue.
