This Yakima BaseLine rack gives you a solid setup for carrying gear on vehicles without factory rails. It comes as a complete system with two JetStream crossbars, four BaseLine towers, and a custom fit kit. The aluminum construction keeps it strong yet lightweight, while the overhang design gives you full 60" of bar space for wide loads like kayaks or paddleboards. With a 165 lb weight capacity (always follow your vehicle’s roof load limit), you can head out confident everything stays secure.
Driving with a roof rack shouldn’t mean dealing with constant wind noise. The JetStream bars use an aero-style profile that helps keep airflow smooth, cutting down on whistling and vibration during highway drives. The push-down rubber strips in the top channels seal around your mounts to further reduce sound and drag, making long trips quieter and more comfortable.
Some racks make you trim rubber strips every time you add new accessories. These don’t. Instead, the strips in the JetStream’s top channels simply press down when you mount carriers or accessories, then spring back into place when not in use. That means no cutting, faster setups, and a cleaner finish every time you switch gear.
Whether you’re loading up for a kayak trip or a long road adventure, this rack is built for it. The crossbars fit most universal cargo boxes and carriers that mount in top channels or clamp around the bars. From paddleboards to skis to camping gear, you can mix and match attachments to suit any season or destination—all on one dependable setup.
If you want extra theft deterrence, Yakima’s Same Key System (SKS) lock cores are available separately. They secure the rack to your roof so your setup stays where you left it when parked overnight or at the trailhead.

Solid build quality and easy installation on my '21 Mazda CX-5.
Great product fast shipping
Installed on my wife's car and she loves it. Even bought kayak attachment and it works great.
Roof rack parts were ordered correctly and shipped quickly.
Follow the instructions, and you can't go wrong on the self installation
Ackage came 2 days early the install was somewhat easy (did it by myself)
Did not get to mount anything to it but seems really sturdy. One thing I can say is mark out your mounting points with provided stickers then put up and make adjustments to the roof rack.
Yakima is always great, the bars are just right for my kayaks and look great too.
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.
Easy to install and sturdy. I carry a 9' pontoon boat on my camper shell using this rack at freeway speeds with no problems.
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.
Excellent customer service, decently quick delivery, and the only store that I've found on the entire internet that sells these clips. Last company let me purchase them, then told me a week later they were out of stock, so it was nice to get these in the mail from etrailer as ordered!
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.
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.
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.
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!!
the product was exceptional. I would recommend it to anyone, who has a vehicle with a naked roof. It is a solid as a factory installed rack. Josh went out of his way to get me a replacement torque screw driver because the first one from Yakima was working properly.
Strong, Solid Bars, Super Light, and really easy to install!
I want to thank the staff at eTrailer for their outstanding support. After my roof rack order got off to a shaky start the customer service staff stepped in and made it right; 100% RIGHT. I cannot thank them, and eTrailer, enough. Regarding the roof rack itself, I have now installed it and can vouch that the installation was a breeze. All parts fit and the instructions were correct. For the record, this is not my first purchase from eTrailer (I've bought hitch items from them before) and it won't be my last. They have ALWAYS given great service, their web site works, their products and descriptions are good, etc., etc. Thank you!
These bars worked great for the roof rack on our truck. Thank you!
Really easy to install & work as specified. So happy with the customer support/service at etrailer.
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.
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
I ordered these as part of a complete roof rack kayak carrier system. Everything else was great, but this box arrived (within a larger box with other components) somewhat battered, and obviously re-taped shut.
Clearly, it was a return, and it never been inspected. Pieces of the baseclip components were missing from the box.
I contacted etrailer, and it took about 20+ minutes to arrange shipment of a new set, even after having sent several images of the box and incomplete product.
They sent a replacement, which arrived a few days later. But I purchased and paid for brand new products, and was VERY disappointed to receive a returned, incomplete set.
