These heavy-duty, aluminum crossbars give you a solid platform for hauling serious gear. With a 220-lb weight capacity, they’re built to handle kayaks, lumber, cargo boxes, or camping gear without flexing under pressure. The strength of the square bar design keeps everything steady and dependable on the road.
The square bars have top channels that work with Rhino-Rack Heavy Duty accessories like ladder rollers, load stops, and eyebolts. That means you can easily secure larger or awkward items just like a contractor rig would. The rubber strips in the channels cushion your load and add slip resistance so your gear stays put.
When you’re parked at a trailhead or campsite, you don’t want to worry about your rack walking away. The lockable cover plates on the 2500 Series legs secure the rack to your roof, giving you peace of mind while you’re off doing something more fun than watching your car.
This system is designed for vehicles without factory side rails and installs using a custom fit kit for your roof. Once it’s in place, it feels sturdy and purpose-built—no extra parts or guesswork required. It’s a clean setup that looks right and works hard every time you load it up.
Every part of this system has backing that shows it’s made to last. The crossbars come with a limited lifetime warranty, while the legs and fit kit each carry a 5-year limited warranty. It’s a setup that’s ready for years of hauling whatever adventures bring next.

Thank you for your review. The bars that you purchased for this kit are Item # RB1250 in silver. The rubber you are referring to is meant to be removed if necessary. You can remove the rubber and use other heavy duty c-channel accessories on your bars. The rubber should be put in the c-channel when not using other accessories, to cut down on wind noise and provide a slip resistant surface for your load. If you firmly press the rubber stripping into the c-channel it should easily go in. I attached a video for you of one of our installers reviewing these bars and she talks about the rubber c-channel about 15 seconds into the video.

This was a huge help. I cant believe I was trying to slide it in from the side... much easier to just press it in as shown on the video.Thanks!

After a year, the rack is great. Had it loaded with ladders and lumber. Works great. It is extremely noisy though. The whistling at certain speeds is very bad. I’ve tried things to stop it but it’s hard to tell what is actually making the noise. You might get used to it. I didn’t. This would not however, stop me purchasing this rack. For the money and Construction you can’t beat it. Well actually you could beat it if you got rid of the whistling.

Hi Mike, I was researching roof racks for my 2013, 170 tall Sprinter Van ordered and I came across your post. I have a Yakima rack that I had on my old BMW that I was thinking of using until I saw your post. Did you install your own rack and solar panels? I was thinking of paying a local RV custom place, near here, to do all this work, but Im leaning to doing a lot of it myself. If you installed all the gear on top of your van, I have a bunch of questions:1 Ive order factory roof rails for my Sprinter, did you simply place the Rhino tracks inside the rail grooves and how did you bolt them down?2 What are the other accessories I see on top: Fan, Solar panels make$, A/C, Sat? Did you install all yourself, if so, was it difficult?3 Awning: What type and difficulty/cost of installation? 4 What are small devices on roof: white knob type device right lower on picOn left side of pic, front to back: white, flush 6disc, black protruding 6 knob, 6 flush, black, controller type box. Again, if you didnt install, who did and a what cost? Thxs for your patience!Joe
