Specs:
These low-profile, aerodynamic Vortex Aero crossbars let you build a stylish aftermarket roof rack from scratch. The crossbars require 4 Rhino-Rack legs (manufactured in 2014 or later) and a custom fit kit to mount it to your roof. Each bar extends past the roof rack legs to maximize the space for mounting carriers and accessories. Rubberized Vortex strips in each crossbar's top channel disrupt airflow for a quiet ride, and the bars are constructed of aluminum so they won't rust. The crossbars also include Secure Core endcaps with plastic locks to help deter theft of channel-mounted accessories.
The rubberized Vortex strips in the top channel of each crossbar disrupt airflow with evenly spaced, wave-shaped grooves. This carefully controlled turbulence minimizes wind noise and whistling, so you won't need to add a fairing to your roof rack. And the slim, elliptical Vortex Aero crossbars cut through the air with minimal drag - even at highway speeds.
The Vortex Aero crossbars are made of structural-grade anodized aluminum with H-shaped internal extrusions. These extrusions strengthen the bars without adding a significant amount of weight. And the aluminum bars won't rust so you can leave them on your roof year-round.
Each crossbar has a channel in the bottom for mounting to Rhino-Rack roof rack legs (sold separately). Each end of the channel includes a rubber ruler to help you center the bar on your roof. Simply use the numbers and hash marks on the rulers to ensure the legs are spaced properly in the channel.
Each Vortex Aero crossbar has a built-in C-channel so you can carry channel-mounted accessories such as bike racks, watersport carriers, and ski racks. The Vortex strips in the top channels come in 3 pieces, so they're easier to adjust than a single long, continuous strip. You can remove, trim, and re-insert the Vortex strips around the mounting hardware of your accessories to keep the crossbar channel capped and quiet. Replacement strips (sold separately) are also available if you remove your accessories or switch to clamp-on accessories.
You can also attach most clamp-on accessories to the bars, and the Vortex strips provide a shock-absorbing, no-slip cushion for any accessories that rest on them.
Each crossbar includes 2 Secure Core locking endcaps made of durable polypropylene. These endcaps lock with a universal tubular key. The polypropylene locks secure the endcaps to the crossbars and help to secure channel-mounted accessories to the crossbars. For maximum security, you can upgrade to endcaps with all-metal lock cores (RRVA-LEC4 - sold separately).
These 2" tall legs are perfect for adding a Rhino-Rack roof-rack crossbar to your vehicle's factory fixed mounting points. Legs clamp on with brackets and accept Rhino-Rack Heavy-Duty or Aero crossbars (sold separately).

Specs:
These precision-molded adapters provide perfect, no-wobble mounting points for 2 Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero crossbars on Rhino-Rack RLTP legs for track systems. Includes 4 adapters and mounting hardware.
Features:
These adapters let you attach Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero crossbars to Rhino-Rack RLTP legs. The adapters provide a perfect crossbar-to-leg fit with no wobbling or gaps. The kit includes 4 precision-molded nylon adapters and all hardware necessary for installation.
The adapters provide a perfect mounting surface for Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero crossbars. Without the adapters, the grooves on top of the RLTP legs don't match those on the crossbars, resulting in an imperfect fit with a noticeable gap. With the adapters installed, the crossbars fit on the RLTP legs with no gap or wiggle room.
To install the adapters, slide an adapter block into the groove on top of each RLTP leg. Thread the 10-mm bolt through the square washer, leg, and adapter. Then thread the M6 nut onto the end of the bolt. Leave enough space between the M6 nut and the top of the adapter so that you can slide the M6 nut into the crossbar's bottom channel. Once the legs are positioned properly in the channel, simply tighten down each 10-mm bolt for sturdy, wobble-free mount.

Mounted side rails that crossbars slide in to a piece of 2"x1" aluminum square tubing. Mounted to truck bed with compression stake pocket inserts. 65" crossbars were 2" short and had to order Item: RRVA180B-2 to get the 71" crossbars. Had to customize several parts but overall I am very happy with the outcome as there is not many options that are minimally invasive for a permanent installation. (Zero holes were drilled into truck bed all mounting was completed with compression stake pocket mounts. I am able to use all attachments for summer and winter activities. (bike mounts, snowboard mounts, paddle board SUP mounts, and fishing rod mounts) Picture with my Thule SUP Taxi mounts. Plus rack is easily removed with 4 bolts. Can also access and use bakflip tonneau cover by removing crossbars in less than 20 seconds.
Purchases these two Rhine Rack crossbars to extend the with of my Rhino platform. Made my own pieces to slide into the crossbar that I tapped and bolted the crossbars to the existing crossbars. Also shimmed between the crossbars to make them flush with the Rhino platform.
Using these and other Rhino components, I installed a roof rack for a 2021 Jeep Wrangler with a retractable roof. So far this set-up has worked as exactly as expected.
The Rhino racks purchased were exactly what I needed to carry kayaks on my 2015 Transit 250. The vehicle specific brackets were perfectly made.
Unfortunately the parts shipped didn't match the invoice and I ended up with mismatched parts.
When I called etrailer.com customer service, we worked out the problem and the new parts were shipped asap with the understanding I would return the incorrect parts promptly.
Overall, a great experience.
Thanks for all your help! Project turned out awesome! (Pics attached). Easier to mount directly to bed sides.
Exactly what was needed to adapt my Rhino Rack legs to the Vortex Bars. One package came with one square nut un-threaded. etrailer got me another set out quickly so I could get my rack back together.
I like it very much!
These aero roof rack bars look great, and went together in a couple hours. This kit for the Ford Transit full size van has a base plate that bolts directly to the roof, the ordinary Rhino columns and high quality load bars. The rubber strips on top of the bars cut wind noise, as well as protecting the bar surface.
Works great for our JL with the power t op
Great rack and well designed and well made. Install is straight forward on pickup bed cover using the slide grooves. All orders arrived quickly and I was happy with service given by e trailer.
I'm a big fan of Rhino Rack. Their products are very well made. And videos of fit and installation are great. I purchased a bed rail system(Rhino Rack) separately and installed the Aero bars on them. Helps to make carrying kayaks easier to transport by not having to put up on the roof system. Also Rhino Rack.
EXCELLENT customer service, I was missing rubber strips for cross bars and etrailer responded quickly and sent me replacement parts in a timely manner, A+!!!
I'm absolutely in love with Katie, my sales consultant for her great help & excellent follow up. Fully expecting cheap Chinese junk. I was delighted with the quality of the product, (Rhino Rack) which was received day after New Years. Pretty cool when order was placed Dec 29th. Simple illustrated instructions made pre assembly a snap. Wind chill is 2 below zero so I'm going to wait a day or so to mount to car. Two thumbs up from me!
I purchased this product to go along with my Rhino Rack quick mount vortex legs. Everything has worked out very well and am pleased with both products.
This was my first purchase with strainer and I just installed the rack so I have no input on durability but the install was super easy, I knew these would fit because the website made it easy to find products compatible with my Ram Promaster 1500, and Kaylyn was proactive and let me know their 71” bars were out of stock but 65” were available. Unbeknownst to her, I’m in a time crunch and her help came in clutch. I would definitely recommend buying from etrailer.
Quit shipping great price have been install but product looks well built and made
These crossbars are light yet very strong. And they were extremely easy to assemble to the feet. A high quality product at a more competitive price.
Perfect!!! Very easy
Love these bars. Great design good build. Haven’t had many accessories strapped to bars but I’m very confident they will work flawlessly.
Solid bars. Looking forward to putting them to good use. The box happened to be missing the rubber strips but customer service was super responsive and immediately sent out the replacements. Appreciate a company that has great customer service and ships quickly.
Used to to mod onto a an 04 Dodge Ram 1500. Excellent after searching high and low!
I needed to get this order delivered on a tight schedule, and etrailer came through for me. Everything as ordered and delivered quickly. Great buying experience (as usual)
