The Yakima BaseLine Roof Rack gives you a solid foundation for hauling gear on your vehicle’s naked roof. The system includes 2 JetStream crossbars, 4 BaseLine towers, and a custom fit kit, so you have everything needed for a sturdy setup. The aluminum construction is strong and dependable, supporting up to 165 lbs while still keeping weight low. It’s built for real use—whether that’s hauling kayaks, paddleboards, or a loaded cargo box for a long road trip.
Long drives can get noisy with the wrong bars, but these JetStream crossbars are designed to keep things quiet. The aerodynamic shape helps air flow smoothly over the rack, and the push-down rubber strips in the top channels seal around any mounts to reduce whistling and vibration. You’ll still hear the road, but not that constant hum that can make highway miles drag.
Some racks make you trim rubber strips before installing mounts or carriers—these skip that step completely. The push-down rubber strips let you press your hardware right into the top tracks without cutting anything to size. Once installed, they close up neatly around your mount to keep the channel sealed from wind and weather. It’s quick, clean, and simple to set up new gear whenever you need it.
This rack isn’t limited to one type of accessory. Its aero-style crossbars work with most universal cargo boxes, watercraft carriers, snow gear holders, and bike racks—whether they mount in the top channels or clamp around the bars. That means you can bring kayaks in summer, skis in winter, and a roof box full of camping gear all year long using the same dependable setup.
If you want extra peace of mind when leaving your vehicle parked overnight or at a trailhead, you can add Yakima Same Key System (SKS) lock cores (sold separately). They deter theft of the rack by letting you secure everything with one key across compatible Yakima gear. It’s an easy upgrade that keeps your setup protected.
