• Distance Between Mounting Location on Yakima Fatcat 4 and Fatcat 4 EVO
  The Yakima FatCat EVO 4 Ski and Snowboard Carrier - Locking - 4 Skis or 2 Boards - Black # Y03095 has mounting holes that are inches apart. I reached out to my tech contact at Yakima and he said the Old FatCat 4 mounting holes are 12 inches on center and the newer FatCat 4 EVO will be longer at about 16 inches. Once you account for the width of the Aero Crossbar SmarT-Slot Kit 2 for Yakima FatCat Ski and Snowboard Carriers # Y03098 it will be another 1/2 inch on each side for the T-slot...

• Overall Width of the Yakima FatCat 4-Ski Carrier and Will It Fit Next to Cargo Box on 2007 Escalade
  I checked with Yakima and the FatCat ski carrier # Y03095 is 30-1/2 inches long. If the cargo box is 28 inches wide then together the ski carrier and box have an overall width of 58-1/2 inches. You would need at least that much free space on the roof rack crossbars on your 2007 Cadillac Escalade for both parts to fit at the same time.

• Recommended Roof Rack and Ski Carrier for 2008 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  Your 2008 Jeep Grand Cherokee should already be equipped with the rails along the edges of the roof that run from front to back.

• Recommendation To Carry 2 Snowboards and 4 Pair Skis On Roof Rack
  My recommendation for you is the Yakima Big PowderHound Roof-Mounted, Locking Ski and Snowboard Carrier - 4 Skis/2 Boards, side by side as you mentioned. With your 64.5 inch crossbars, you will have enough room to mount two of them with a little room to spare. They each measure 30" long x 2-3/4" wide x 6-3/8" tall. The large, push button system makes loading and unloading your gear quick and easy even with gloves or mittens on. The change to 6 snowboards will be limited due to the size...

  The Yakima FatCat EVO 4 Locking Rooftop Ski and Snowboard Carrier - 4 Skis or 2 Boards # Y03095 will fit two boards base to base or 4 skis base. If you are able with your bindings to have enough clearance, they would allow more, but the guarantee is what is listed in the description.

• Will Tall Bindings Hit the Roof Using the Yakima FatCat Ski Carrier on a 2008 Acura MDX
  The bindings will not be an issue when using the Yakima FatCat # Y03095. It has integrated SkiLift brackets. The brackets unlatch from the bottom of the rack and extend, creating extra space between the FatCat and the mount bracket on the hinged end of the carrier. This is a real advantage when you're carrying several snowboards or skis and one of them must be carried with the bindings facing the vehicle's roof.

• Ski and Snowboard Rack for a 2014 Subaru Outback Wagon with Factory Crossbars
  I have a solution for you, but unfortunately the Thule SnowPack, part # TH7324 is not a confirmed fit for the factory bars on a 2014 Subaru Outback Wagon according to Thule. The speed link system may be able to reach around and give a fit, but we haven't had the ability to directly confirm this in house. Instead, I recommend the extremely similar Yakima FatCat EVO4, part # Y03095. This offers similar locking and adjustable height features as the SnowPack, and Yakima does confirm this...

• Recommended Ski/Snowboard Carrier for a 2018 Subaru Outback Wagon with Integrated Crossbars
  I recommend going with a Yakima ski/snowboard rack for your 2018 Subaru Outback Wagon because they feature the FatCat EVO which has a sleek modern design and the FreshTrack if you are looking for more of a retro style. These will mount to the OEM crossbars that you have as the side rails would be where you would attach a roof rack and not an actual carrier. Both of these ski/snowboard carrier options come equipped with locks, oversized push buttons so you can operate them with your gloves...

• Rhino-Rack vs Yakima FatCat4 Snowboard/Ski Rack Comparison
  Yakima is a top of the line brand that offers great racks at a price that reflects the quality. The Rhino Rack brand on the other hand comes in a much lower price with only a marginal difference in quality to be totally honest. In my opinion the Rhino Rack carriers and racks are the best value in most cases and what I normally recommend. That being said the Ski Rack part # RR574 is a great value, BUT it does require a tool to tighten the clamps to your crossbars and the Yakima part...

These bars are easy and quick to install and include channel mounts, important to keeping a low profile on the vehicle.

• Ski Carriers that Will Directly Fit Factory Roof Rack on a 2007 Subaru Impreza
  Rhino-Rack does not provide a fit list for accessories and factory roof racks so to determine if ski carrier # RR576 will fit you will have to do a little measuring.

No other parts would be needed. Other companies do list what will fit factory roof racks. Thule lists # TH7325, # TH7326, and # TH7324 as a direct...

This has the added benefit of letting you use a wide variety of accessories and adds a more rough and tumble look to the car. To add this kit to your...

• Can Yakima FatCat EVO Attach to Rola Roof Cargo Basket 59504
  To use with the Yakima FatCat EVO Ski and Snowboard Carrier like part # Y03095, the Yakima LoadWarrior Roof Basket # Y07070 is definitely the better option. The crossbars on this basket, as you mentioned, feature a straight design and will work perfectly with this and many other roof rack accessories.

  Since your 2015 Nissan Xterra has factory crossbars installed on it the simplest and most cost efficient solution is going to be to install a rack on them that attaches directly.
