• Parts Needed to Add Thule Track Mount Roof Rack
  While we do have exactly what you need to add a track-mounted roof rack system, the Thule TK1 Fit Kit as well as the other parts that work with it, have been discontinued, which means you will need to replace that fit kit to get a full track-mounted roof rack. For a complete system, you will need to start with the tracks, and since I am not certain what application you are using this for (camper, van, etc.), you'll need to decide the appropriate length for the Thule Top Track Roof Mount...

• Are the Thule and Rhino Rack Square Bars the Same Dimension
  Rhino Rack square bars like the # RREB126B are 1-3/16 inches wide and 13/16 inches tall. Thule square bars like the part # TH712400 are 1-1/4 inches wide and 7/8 inches tall. So while they are very close to the same size they are different.

• Will Rhino-Rack Track Mount Roof Rack Fit Thule Tracks on a 2016 Ford F-150 SuperCab
  Rhino-Rack Roof Rack # Y01-130-NT is compatible with Thule tracks # THTP42. The tracks require drilling into the roof to install so if you are fine with doing that on your 2016 Ford F-150 SuperCab then this set up will work for you. If you want to avoid having to drill then you can use a Yakima custom fit roof rack using the following parts: Yakima CoreBar Crossbars # Y00422 BaseLine Towers # Y00146 BaseClip Fit Kit # Y06122

• Best Roof Track System to Add Rhino-Rack Pioneer Platform to a 2002 Chevy Tahoe Z71
  On the 60 inch long Thule tracks # THTB60 the screws are M5x40mm. But the Thule tracks are designed for use on fiberglass only (like camper shells) and not metal roofs so I cannot recommend them. You mentioned not wanting to use the cap nut system on the Yakima 60 inch tracks # Y01135 but that works out because there is a special kit needed to install the tracks on a metal roof, # Y8880039, and would require 1/4 inch holes. The tracks are aluminum. But the special feet used for the...

• Where Does Thule Track THTP42 Install on 2014 Honda Odyssey
  I spoke with my contact at Thule about the install of the # THTP42 on your 2014 Honda Odyssey and this is what they told me: 1. They should have a body shop install the tracks. 2. The body shop can get the information from Honda as far as where (and where not) to drill). Thule does not have that info because automobile manufacturers don’t like to share it with us but they will tell the body shops.

• Roof Rack Recommendations for a 2002 Ford Escape
  Thule does not have a roof rack option for your 2002 Ford Escape. The feet in your picture are Tracker or Tracker II feet which are not made anymore and the fit kits that go with them are also being phased out. New components will be needed to add a roof rack to your Escape. If your Escape has the factory side rails that run front to back then the most cost effective roof rack consists of the following parts: Crossbars # Y00408 SL Adapter # Y03536 TimberLine Towers # Y00147 For...

• Can a Thule Tracker System Be Installed on a 2012 Honda Pilot
  I do have options for you but they do not make a roof track system specifically for your 2012 Honda Pilot. In order to mount a set of tracks like the Thule Top Track Roof Mount System part # THTP42 on your Pilot you would need to either bolt or rivet the tracks onto the vehicle. There are no pre drilled holes on your Pilot to accept the tracks so drilling will be required. I recommend placing the tracks inside of the ditch as this will make fitment much easier.

• Roof Cargo Basket and Roof Rack Recommendation for Chevrolet K5 Blazer
  I have a solution for you, but there is no type of cargo basket that is available to mount to a flat roof without bars. The Safari cargo baskets are designed to fit to roof racks or raised side rails. Since you have no rails or bars on your vehicle, to be able to use a cargo basket you will need to install a roof rack. A track mounted roof rack will allow you to install the rack on the back, hard cover of the Blazer. For a track, I recommend the Thule Top Track Roof Mount System,...

• Recommended Roof Rack Components Compatible with Track Systems or Cap Rails
  Many Leer caps come with the track included, but if not you will want the Thule Top Track Roof Mount System 42 inches long # THTP42, 54 inches long # THTP54, or 60 inches long # THTB60. Then I recommend the Thule Podium Foot Pack for Aero Bars # TH460R along with the Thule One-Key System Lock Cylinders - Qty 4 # TH450400. These feet will connect to the rails using the Thule Fit Kit for Podium Style Foot Pack # THKIT3101. Then you can use the Thule WingBar Evo Load Bars - Aluminum -...

• Will Thule Top Tracks Fit a 2013 Nissan Frontier Crew Cab
  Technically you could install the Thule tracks # THTP42 on any viable surface including the roof of your 2013 Nissan Frontier. But I am not sure why you would want to drill holes in the roof of the vehicle. If you want to go forward with that then the only way I can think of to get a diagram of roof supports or other things in the roof is to ask Nissan directly. I have included a link to the roof rack we have for your truck that do not require drilling holes in the roof.

• Installation of Roof Tracks For Thule or Yakima Roof Rack on 2011 Honda Odyssey
  The Thule Roof Mounted Top Rack System - 54" Long # THTP54 is longer than what the manufacturer suggests for your vehicle. I recommend instead using the 42 inch # THTP42 as the longer rails will provide less support on the outer ends. You simply need to install the tracks parallel to each other and close to a support for stability and strength. Close to the rain channel or cover on your roof is ideal. I then recommend the following: - Thule WingBar Evo Crossbars - Aluminum - Black...

• Could Thule Roof Rack Track Be Installed on 2017 GMC Sierra
  I don't like recommend track style roof racks on brand new vehicles as they require drilling through the roof and head liner. If you absolutely wanted to you could install the part # THTB60 I am sure you could. A better option may be the 42 inch long version though part # THTP42 since you want it shorter. Or the 54 inch part # THTP54.

• Recommended Roof Rack for 2017 Honda Odyssey with Naked Roof
  If your 2017 Honda Odyssey has a naked roof (no existing rails or crossbars), then the Thule Roof Rack referenced in your question, which consists of parts # TH711420, # THTP42, # TH460R and # THKIT3101 will work. The Thule Top Track # THTP42 component of this system is a universal track that will permanently install on almost any SUV, Minivan or camper. This will basically provide a factory-like track system that can then be used to install the foot pack and crossbars for the roof rack. With...

• Recommended Roof Rack for 2016 Mitsubishi Outlander With Fixed Mounting Points
  The Thule 430 foot packs will work with the Thule Top Track Roof Mount System # THTP42 but it does require you to drill holes directly through the roof of your 2016 Mitsubishi Outlander. I highly recommend instead getting a new roof rack for your Outlander which will simply attach to the fixed mounting points on your roof so you do not have to drill holes into the vehicle. The Thule AeroBlade Roof Rack will fit your '16 Outlander and is made up of Thule WingBar Evo Crossbars # TH711420...

• Fit of a Roof Mounted Top Rack System on a 2013 Ram 3500
  We don't always list fit information for track kits because of the varying applications of them on trailers, camper shells and actual vehicles. This is because of the numerous variations of these vehicles and the fits that would need to be listed out for each individual vehicle. In this case, your 2013 Ram 3500 would be able to have the Thule Roof Mounted Top Rack, part # THTP54 installed on the cab's roof by drilling into the vehicle. However, the vehicle is also capable of having...

• Camper Roof Rack Installation That Does Not Use T-Bolts
  The Rhino-Rack Roof Rack System # Y02-500 that you referenced is installed using T-bolts. I cannot recommend using different hardware to install the track. For a track mount roof rack that does not use T-bolts to mount, I recommend the Thule Top Track Roof Mount System # THTP42. The Thule Top Track uses innovative fastening hardware to eliminate headliner removal. Instead of T-bolts, the Top Track uses a flare nut that is installed flush on the roof and a screw to secure the track to...

• Can Thule TP42 Top Tracks Fit TracRac SR Rails on 2010 Honda Ridgeline
  The Base Rails for Thule TracRac SR Sliding Truck Bed Ladder Racks # TH21610 are not compatible with the 42" Long Thule Top Track Roof Mount System # THTP42. This system does require a permanent mount to a roof as opposed to being able to fit other rails. If you are looking for a rack system for your 2010 Honda Ridgeline, since there isn't a ladder rack that fits your truck (I double-checked with our manufacturers), the best option to carry cargo is a roof rack. The best option is from...

• Will Thule Tram Ski Adapter Fit Hollywood Racks Trailer Hitch Mount Bike Rack on 2012 Honda Odyssey
  The Thule Tram, # TH9033, has only been test fit on Thule trailer hitch mount bike racks (listed on the Tram product page). Out of the racks that are on that list and still available, all of them have arms that are spaced closer together than the Hollywood Racks 5 bike racks arms so it is not likely the best fit and I do not recommend it. Going with a roof rack would be the way to go. There is currently only one option for a compatible roof rack and it consists of the following: Thule...

• Recommended Cargo Box and Roof Bike Carrier for 2015 Honda Odyssey
  I spoke with Kevin and he told me about setup that he used at the time he wrote the review about the Hollywood Racks Sport Rider HR1400. This specific bike rack has been discontinued but Hollywood Racks replaced it with part # HR1400Z. The only real change between these bike racks is that the lock cores are on the handle of the hooks. The cargo box he is using has been discontinued but Thule has a very similar cargo box with their Hyper XL # TH612. This cargo box comes with SecureLocks...
