You bet, Alan. That’s exactly the kind of versatility the Yakima SkyBox NX Skinny Rooftop Cargo Box (Black Carbonite) #Y93QD is designed for. Since its only 26-1/2inch wide, it leaves enough room on most standard crossbars like a 54inch or 60inch bar…
The Rola Sport REX Series Roof Rack 59685 is a great roof rack but I have a different recommendation for you. The highest weight capacity roof rack that we have is from Rhino-Rack with a 220 lb weight capacity. Typically vehicles do not have roof…
We've checked with Thule in the past about if there's a fat tire adapter for the BigMouth and they have told us there isn't a solution and also that there isn't a longer strap like you are looking for. The Thule ProRide Roof Bike Rack…
Yes the Thule ProRide XT for Fat Bikes part #TH598004-FB can easily carry standard bike tire widths as well. The trays are wider to accommodate the fat tires but standard bike tires will fit just as well.
There is a version of the ProRide XT that is compatible with 4-1/2 inch tires, though the base model #TH598004 only fits tires up to 3 inches wide. So what you will need instead is the version with fat tire adapters, which is the following part…
The Yakima roof rack system you're looking at only has space for the lock cores in the SkyLine Towers #Y53TR so you'd just need 4 lock cores to secure them to your flush mounted rails, which you can get with the Yakima Same Key System (SKS)…
The aftermarket roof tracks, such as the Rhino-Rack RT-Style Roof Rack Tracks - Rivet Mount - 39-3/16" Long - Qty 2, part #RRRTS534, are not test fit for vehicles. The rack manufacturers recommend that you to a garage that specializes in…
Hey Jason! There is a license plate holder for your Thule T2 Pro XTR #TH83JV. What you need is the Thule License Plate Holder for Bike Racks - Lighted #TH35JV. This will strap onto your bike rack when it is folded up so the plate is visible. It also…
Great question! The Yakima FrontLoader #Y02103 has 2 places for a lock core to be added; one to lock the rack to the roof rack and one to lock the bike to the rack. If you want matching lock cores for both bike racks then you need a 4-pack of lock…
We carry a very handy 2 inch ball mount for this exact application. The part is #D210. The ball mount slides and pins into your hitch and the top receiver will accept 2 inch bike racks and hold them above the ball. The Ball Mount has a 500 lb tongue…
The difference between the Class II and Class III hitches has to do with their Gross Trailer Weight (GTW), their Tongue Weight (TW), and their Hitch Receiver Size. Class II trailer hitch receivers have a 1-1/4 inch receiver and can be rated up to…
Hey Tricia, This is great, I drive the same exact car, just a year older! The crossbars for a roof rack use legs and a custom fit mounting clamp to go onto that vehicle. The clamps go in between the door jam near the rain gutter/seal. You definitely…

In these days of customer "no service" I am usually disapointed when doing business with people I don't know. It was refreshing doing business with you. I'm impressed!
