These galvanized steel crossbars form the solid backbone of the Yakima BaseLine roof rack. Each bar is built to handle up to 165 lbs while keeping its shape under load. The 48" long, 1-1/8" diameter bars give you a dependable platform for securing kayaks, cargo boxes, or camping gear on every trip.
The black vinyl coating helps resist corrosion and keeps the bars looking clean after long drives in rain or sun. That protective layer means the steel underneath stays tough and ready for years of use, even if your adventures take you down dusty roads or through coastal air.
Installing on a vehicle without factory rails can be tricky, but this setup is made for it. The BaseLine towers and custom fit kit create a secure connection right on your naked roof. Everything seats firmly in place, so you can load up without worrying about shifting or scratches.
You can add Yakima Same Key System (SKS) lock cores—sold separately—to deter theft when you’re away from the vehicle. It’s an easy way to keep your rack secure at trailheads, campgrounds, or hotel lots, giving you peace of mind wherever your trip takes you.
