When you’re loading up gear for a long trip, you want bars that feel dependable. The aluminum construction of this Yakima rack gives it the strength to handle up to 165 lbs while keeping weight down. Whether it’s kayaks, a cargo box, or camping gear, the structure stays rigid and steady mile after mile. It’s the kind of design that feels built to last, and the silver finish adds a clean, durable look.
Wind noise can ruin a long drive fast. These JetStream crossbars are shaped to cut through the air smoothly, helping reduce vibration and drag. The rubber strips that run along the top channels close up around your mounts to block out extra whistling. That means fewer distractions and a more relaxed ride on highways or backroads alike.
Dealing with channel-mounted accessories on some bars can mean trimming rubber pieces before you can even get them installed. Not here. The push-down rubber strips on these Yakima bars let you press your mounts directly into place—no cutting required. They spring back up around your hardware to seal things off, keeping your setup tidy and ready for whatever you add next.
From paddleboards to skis to rooftop tents, this rack setup is ready for nearly anything you want to bring along. The aero-style crossbars are compatible with both channel-mounted and clamp-on accessories from most major brands. That versatility gives you freedom to mix and match carriers without needing a different rack each time.
If theft prevention matters on your trips, this system is ready for it. The BaseLine towers accept Yakima Same Key System (SKS) lock cores, which are sold separately, so you can secure the rack itself when parked at a trailhead or campsite. It’s an easy way to add peace of mind while keeping your setup streamlined and secure.
Ratings & Reviews
Happy with the purchase. Crossbars shipped and received quickly.
Your notice of schemes was a lot better than the yakima site provided. They did not suggest the scheme you did.
But when the products arrived, the instructions were by yakima. Generally worked as instructed except the tower to tower transverse mounting dimensions needed to be tweaked for a perfect fit.
Easy to install and met my need for hauling a kayak.
So far so good. Purchased these towers to use on a 2022 GMC Canyon with HD bars that I already had, primarily to carry my canoe. Yakima's fitting instructions worked perfectly and the whole system seems really solid.
Easy to install and sturdy. I carry a 9' pontoon boat on my camper shell using this rack at freeway speeds with no problems.
Work exactly as they should and hold everything securely to my vehicle without interfering with the car’s normal operation. etrailer had best prices based on my research. These bars are much quieter than traditional round bars and worth the added expense.
Easy to install thanks to the etrailer video. I have used the rack system on many long distance trips including driving from South Carolina to Yellowstone.
I have ordered several Yakima rack parts and a front hitch for my '13 Ram truck. The sales staff was very helpful in getting me the correct parts and with timely shipping. The items arrived as predicted and are correct. They fit as they should and install was straight forward. I recommend these products and the service was excellent.
antastic company and wonderful service, one of the racks was the wrong size for my car so they were able to help find the right size for my Car. Absolutely great company, with fast shipping and just the products I needed for my Car!. Very helpful, and overall smooth transaction and service. I will order from this company again very soon!. shipping came in a very strong and solid box. I highly recommend buying from them!. 10/10 all the way!.
Excellent solution for my 2023 Chevy Silverado. In the past, I have had rails installed on the roof of my pickup trucks, but I find the BaseLine towers to be a better solution, since they don't permanently change the truck. Plus, they are much more solid than SkyLine system on the rails.
Bought as a pkg for my 2017 Golf R with Round Bars since I had a bunch of Yakima bike racks and a canoe gunwale rack for my old Yakima set up. Installation was easy with good instructions. All measurements from the Yakima site appear to be spot on.
etrailer.com shipped these out quickly and all parts arrived without damage.
Love my Yakima roof rack!! It exceeds my expectations.great product. Also thank etrailer for the tec support! great staff always there to help thanks again!!
Bought kayak racks. Took a while to put together, but they are very high quality. etrailer send a wrong part (digits on the part number were reversed), but it was very easy to get this corrected and I received the correct part in less than a week. I even spoke to someone on a Saturday afternoon about the mix up who was very pleasant! They have my vote.
Relatively easy to install on my VW Golf (etrailer videos are very helpful) and sooooo useful with my Yakima skybox. Not much road noise, so I can leave the rack on even when I am not using it.

etrailer did an amazing job of having their collective together with regards to my latest order for a roof top rack. First of all, when you go to one these manufacturer websites, either thule, or Yakima, you realize just how complicated this task can be. etrailer does all of that for you. Package arrived earlier than expected and everything was correct the first time. I installed the product myself in under an hour. Done, Done, and Done.
thanks etrailer
These bars worked great for the roof rack on our truck. Thank you!
Strong, Solid Bars, Super Light, and really easy to install!
Great UX for finding the options matching my car, and the baseline towers work great. Simple straightforward site, will plan to use them again when needed.
For those also buying crossbars for cars without roof rails, recommend taking a silver sharpie and marking the placement of the crossbars on the weather seal at the top of the door openings. Makes putting them back on way less of a hassle if you don’t want them on 24/7.
Really easy to install & work as specified. So happy with the customer support/service at etrailer.
The installation was super easy, and despite a long time stuck in shipping the delivery itself was extremely fast, and the package arrived in spotless condition. The manuals were very easy to follow, and the end result is absolutely amazing. They provided a nice, flush finish and hold the racks down tight.
Great product haven’t had any issues with it. Would highly recommend that anyone that’s looking for a roof rack system and a great seller at etrailer
The clips are very easy to install and good fit on my 2020 Ram 1500.
I'm a repeat customer at etrailer several times now, and with good reason. They have provided what I needed in terms of both product and assistance reliably and promptly. The best online supplier I have found.
I was converting a roof rack from my Jeep Cherokee (factory rails) to my RAM 2500 truck (naked roof). While I could use my old Jetstream crossbars, I needed new towers and clips for the truck. There was an error in my original order, the representative thought she was sending me two pairs of clips. I understand the mixup because the Clip box said two meaning 2 clips rather than two pair. etrailer sent another pair immediately and waived the shipping. I like customer service is available and knowledgable. I would give them a five if they hadn't mixed up the first order.
