This setup is made for serious hauling. The system includes 3 Heavy Duty aluminum crossbars, 6 gutter mount legs, and 2 leg spacer blocks. Each bar measures 59" long x 1-5/8" wide x 1-7/8" tall and carries up to 220 lbs—perfect when you want dependable support for kayaks, ladders, or bulky cargo boxes. The sturdy aluminum build keeps the weight down without cutting corners on strength.
You don’t want your gear sliding around or a rack that feels loose. The square bars have rubber strips in the top channels that help cushion loads and reduce slip. Lockable cover plates on the legs secure the rack to your roof so it stays put on long highway runs or bumpy back roads.
The top channels on these bars are made to take Rhino-Rack Heavy Duty accessories like ladder rollers, load stops, and eyebolts. That means you can set up your roof space exactly how you need it—whether that’s loading tools for a job or strapping down fishing gear for a weekend trip. It’s a solid, no-fuss system you can count on for different kinds of cargo.
These crossbars are finished in silver aluminum, built to handle years of use in any weather. They come backed by Rhino-Rack’s limited lifetime warranty on the crossbars and 5-year limited warranties on the legs and spacers. Once installed, you’ve got a durable setup that’s ready for season after season of trips and projects.
Ratings & Reviews
I got the roof rack mounted anyways. Better pics to come when it's all finished!
2011 Ford E350 Super Duty Van. These went together well after I received The adapters to let the Aero Bars mount to the legs correctly. They look great!
They did the job, note that I had to make a spacer for each leg to still be able to take it the front panels off. Love the look also.
Durable looking product and has an easy install. On the roof of my van for the past year and still looking good. Holding out for 5 stars because I'm eating to see how it holds up in the desert sun after a few more years. Rhino-Rack is very hard to get information from regarding their products but etrailer had all the answers and gave me confidence with buying the product.
Thanks to etrailer, I am ready to do some serious summer exploring with my 2013 Mazda 3! Rhino Racks, Malone top box, and Kuat bike rack!
Thank you for the help putting together the perfect system for my truck. Exactly what I needed.
I am normally a exclusive Amazon shopper, but etrailer gives equal or better service and has specialty items you just can't find anywhere else. The pricing is great also. This is my 4th order from them on this project and the response has been perfect and the shipping has been prompt. They even offered to take back an item that I did not need. I desperately wanted to mount my 19ft Kayak on my new RV and with some Rhino RT tracks, a Rhino Nautic kayak lifter, a few really heavy duty rivets, and some ingenuity, I was able to accomplish the task. I am replacing the current Nautic bars with the heavy duty bars. See the attached pictures.
First off - excellent customer service! I called to ask about some parts and I received a “live” person in seconds. No phone button death loop, just a quick response. The assistant was helpful, professional, and knowledgeable.
Now for the other part - The 8” Rhino roof rack for our sky-touch wrangler jeep, worked excellent! Easy to assemble, great finish. I would highly recommend their Etrailer and their products. On the Big Island of Hawaii, these racks will get some use for sure!
Mahalo!
Kit was great, except my SnugTop cover required longer T-Bolts for mounting the tracks. The 1.5 inch ones provided were too short. It was a little tough sourcing T/Bolts that would work. It would have been nice if longer T-Bolts could have been an option from Rhino Rack.
Nice rack system, strong and durable. Used on a Ford e350 to mount solar panels. Only draw back, one of the L brackets that goes under the rain gutter was not bent square enough and this caused the bracket to slide off when tightened. I had to adjust this with a clamp and hammer, no issues since.
Amazing product. Fit, finish, quality is absolutely amazing!
Have hauled our bikes all over MI, through the UP, and back. They never moved. Rack is super simple to remove from the rails to grant full access to the PU bed.
I think this is one of the Best options out there for taking your bikes with you while still having your covered bed space. I also can install a Ski box for the winter. Ski's in the box while gear in the covered bed.
These are the perfect racks for a low profile mounting of solar panels on my Sprinter van.
This rack works perfectly on my Nissan Versa for carrying my two Perception Sound 9'6" kayaks. The Rhino-Racks look good to me. The kayaks can rest directly on the rubber pads on the rails, unlike the Yakama racks I had in the past that had bare pipe rails. Also, I expect I can buy parts to adapt this product to a different car without having to buy new towers. I am sorry there are not hooks or loops to attach bungees when carrying lumber. They are noisy in the wind, but less so when carrying the kayaks.
The folks at etrailer made it easy for me to get the right rack and crossbars for my Jeep. I have a skytop so the rack had to be tall enough to clear the top as it opens and closes (accordion style). The customer service person who helped me recommended the rack legs with the right amount of clearance and the right size cross bars. The website had photos of other Wrangler Unlimited owners with the rack installed on the same type of top. The video of installation was clear and thorough. No problems with the rack at all; still tight and flush on the gutter, no wind noise with the rubber inserts, doesn't look all weathered and beaten after a New England winter either. The boat on the rack only weighs about 45 pounds but the rack can easily handle double that or more.
Order is lost. Only received half of it. Tape your boxes together like you did on previous orders.
Our bars did not arrive. It only takes three days to ship to Anchorage Alaska from anywhere CONUS.
The heavy duty rhino-racks are very well built. There is wind noise. That can be muffled some by using uni-stut closure strips. Uni-strut fasteners fit on both the top and bottom of these bars making it nice for building your own custom tie down and attachment points
Good quality. . Exactly what I ordered
Etrailer is my go to for all my overlanding needs
Just when I was about to give up on finding these mounts, I remembered etrailer usually has what I need, and Presto
