Specs:
The heavy-duty TimberLine towers allow you to mount 2 Yakima to your vehicle with raised, factory side rails. The towers install with rubber-coated stainless steel straps that wrap around your side rails. And the TimberLines' versatile BarBeds accommodate Yakima's full line of crossbars.
Versatile BarBed
The TimberLine's BarBed is designed to work with Yakima's entire line of crossbars.
The BarBed is curved to accommodate the elliptical shape of the CoreBar and JetStream crossbar. The CoreBar includes brackets that slide over the bar and secure to the towers with bolts. The JetStream attaches directly to the tower with bolts.
The towers also work with Yakima RoundBars with adapters . The adapters slide over the bars and secure to the towers with bolts.
Secure Installation with Rubber-Coated Stainless Steel Straps
The towers install easily with rubber-coated stainless steel straps. Simply remove the tower covers, wrap the straps around your raised side rails, and secure the straps to the towers. The straps provide maximum contact and security by wrapping completely around your side rails.
Tighten the bolts inside the towers with the included torque tool to complete installation. This is the only tool you will need to secure the towers to your rails and your crossbars to the towers. The torque tool also helps prevent over- or under-tightening. The tool clicks 3 times once you've reached the correct amount of torque.
Same Key System Locks
TimberLine towers are compatible with Yakima SKS lock cores (Y07204 - sold separately) that allow you to secure the roof rack to your roof. The SKS locks are all keyed alike so a single key opens all the locks. The locks can also be swapped out to make all of your Yakima products keyed alike.
These adapters allow you to use Yakima RoundBars with BaseLine, SkyLine, TimberLine, or RidgeLine roof rack towers. Kit includes 4 adapters and 4 endcaps.

Speaker 1: Today on our 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee, we're gonna be test fitting the Yakima RoundBar roof rack system, consisting of part numbers Y00408, these are the round 48 inch crossbars, part number Y00148, these are the skyline towers for the Yakima crossbars for fixed mounting parts, part number Y003536, which is the RoundBar SL adapter for the Yakima baseline, skyline, timberline towers, and finally part number Y00244. This is the landing pad kit to fit specifically on your Jeep Grand Cherokee.The Yakima RoundBar roof rack system is great for carrying a wide variety of accessories on your roof while freeing up space inside your vehicle. This can carry anything from bike racks to cargo baskets to cargo boxes. With the RoundBars, you may experience some noise while you drive, but Yakima does offer fairings, which you can find on etrailer.com to cut down that wind noise and drag as well. Also with our end caps here, we do have plastic knockouts that can be removed and replaced with the Yakima SKS lock systems, which are sold separately. So, you can actually secure this to your roof, but you can also make it keyed alike with the accessories that you're hauling as well.It's also very easy to use.
You open up the door like so, and then you can lift it up out of place. When you're not using it, it does have these caps which you can put into place, so you don't have to remove them and they're ready for next time.Next, I'd like to give you a couple quick measurements. From the center of the roof to the bottom of our bar is gonna measure about three and seven eighths inches. From the center of the roof to the top is gonna be about five inches, so there's plenty of space for your accessories in between where you won't make contact with your roof. Now, since this does have a sunroof, you may be limited a little bit while the roof rack is installed.Also, both of our bars have a combined carrying capacity of 165 pounds, but you always want to double check with your owner's manual to make sure your roof can withstand those weights.Now that we've gone over some of the features of the roof rack system, let's go ahead and show you how it installs.
We have our front bar already installed on our roof rack system, and we have our rear bar partially assembled on the table here. Here we have our tower, the RoundBar adapter kit, and of course the landing pad, which fits inside our flush mount rail, and we'll get to that a little bit later.We'll first start off by attaching our adapter kit to our tower. We'll start by taking our plastic adapter piece here and just popping that into the top of our tower. Then we'll take our RoundBar, insert that into the center here, and go underneath and take our included tool and tighten it down. You don't want to tighten down all the way because next we're gonna slide this end to the other end of our bar.
It simply slides into place. Then we can finish tightening that bolt the rest of the way. What's good about this tightening tool is it does have a torquing feature. We're gonna hear those audible clicks, so now you know it's tightened down to its max capacity.So, next we'll remove the screw at the top here where we'll place our landing pad, and it does come with an included tool to do this. Remove the screw completely and set it aside to a place where you know where it's at, so when you're done using the roof rack, you can put it back in place.Next, we'll take our first part of our landing pad, we'll place it over the hole where the screw is that we just took out.
Then we'll take our second piece and set that on top like so. Then we'll take one of our screws, a lock washer and a flat washer, put it through the center, line up the holes, and take the included Allen tool and tighten it down. We already repeated this for the other side, and tighten it down until it's nice and tight, not gonna move, and now we can grab our bar.So, we'll take our bar and our towers, line them up, making sure they're in the open position, and set them in our landing pads. We'll do this to the other side, and then we'll measure for our crossbar overhang and make sure it's even as well. Once that's even, we'll tighten down the screw in the center here, so lock up our towers to our bar. Again, you're gonna want to do this until you hear those clicks. Once that's door, you push the door closed here, and now it's locked in to our landing pad. We'll do this on our driver's side as well.There you have it for the Yakima RoundBar roof rack system on our 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee.

Etrailer prices were by far lower than most. Overall, a very excellent purchase.
etrailer is excellent...however, not too pleased with Yakima and these cross bars - second set in four years...they make them out of a steel that rusts quickly...better out of stainless or aluminum. Maybe that is their idea of planned obsolescence. I also learned not to install end caps...that accelerated the corrosive process.
I'm happy that this allows me to save money by using my old round bars on my new vehicle, with only the purchase of new "towers" and these adapters.

Its working great!
Kimberly has shown that great customer service is not dead! etrailer and Kimberly are great to work with and have earned my business and will always be the 1st and last place I look for my rack+ needs!
As for the application, I needed more space to fit my cargo box on top of my 4Runner TRD Pro’s rack. I came up this this… Thank you!
Works perfectly. I am always impressed that Yakima continues to make parts for the "old roundbars" since they have since moved on to the superior JetStream bars.
They do the job. I can't say that they look like they were custom-made for my new vehicle, but I trust them to stay on and keep my boat on the car. They hold securely.
Really Easy to Install! Solid and Strong amount to Roof Rack.
I ordered the Yakima roof rack, with the Hullyrollers for the back crossbar and the Mako saddles for the front crossbar to use with my kayak. It arrived just like they told me and I put them on my car the eveningit arrived. Got to finlly use the roof rack on June 22 to go out kayaking and it worked great. Only thing is I did not know about the air reflector piece for the front crossbar. Now I will be ordering it to help with the wind noise.
Great rack, go on fast, easy to install and work well on my VW TDI wagon. Care has to be given and follow the instructions for the install to what type of rails you have. Works great carrying the VW luggage carrier and plan on using it to carry kayaks as well. Just have not decided what kayak rack type to get yet.
The Yakima roof rack system is an Outstanding product. I purchased the product to replace the OEM roof rack because it was too flimsy to carry the tandem bike mount and my bike. The Yakima roof rack is solid and provides me the peace of mind while hauling my bike on the roof of my car. etrailer provided the product for the best price as always.
I've attachec a few pictures of the Yakima rack on my Audi Q7. It took a few attempts to find the right combination of attachments, but in the end, the pin attachments work best with the access points on the factory flush-mount rails. Great product!!!!!
roof racks showed up in great condition, and showed up as one package.... I should have ordered the J racks from here but I found them cheaper locally so Thule J racks compliment the whole setup and i am just about ready to hit the water :)
Kit worked perfectly on my 2021 Subaru Forester. The whole install took 30 minutes. Never been disappointed with etrailer.
Have been rocking my Yakima rack from etrailer.com for a year now. I am using rack in conjunction with a Tepui tent. Once I added the air deflector, I would say it's the perfect setup. The Yakima gives more clearance over the factory rack, so I was able to get my hands under it to secure the tent hardware. If you're thinking of upgrading your factory rack, I would not hesitate to use etrailer.com
The installation of this rack system went very well, all of the instructions were easy to read and use. I have attached some pictures of our installation. The vehicle is a 1994 Honda Accord EX four door sedan
The rack has been so useful since I purchased it. Staff at etrailer.com were exceptionally helpful in getting the best option for my car and answering questions. I recommend this company, for its 110% customer service, excellent prices and timely delivery.
One quick phone call and Gwendolyn figured out exactly what I needed for our new car to use my old Yakima rack.
Roof Rack 2008 Saturn Astra The roof rack arrived one day early...The packaging was excellent and the quality of the product more than met my expectations. The instructions made the insulation very easy. It took less than 45 minutes to install the unit complete.
Bought as a pkg for my 2017 Golf R with Round Bars since I had a bunch of Yakima bike racks and a canoe gunwale rack for my old Yakima set up. Installation was easy with good instructions. All measurements from the Yakima site appear to be spot on.
etrailer.com shipped these out quickly and all parts arrived without damage.
Great products though, again, written instructions would have been nice.
necessary for using the widest cross bar option (78"). East to install
Everything arrived as promised and earlier than expected just installed. Looks like it will do everything I need it to which is haul around paddleboards. So far so good!
Great product and very easy to install! I called in to put my order in due to not trusting myself in getting one that fits my car. Jessica W. Was beyond professional and helpful in the process. She went also well above her position and tracked my order and sent additional information. Couldn’t be happier with the product and customer service!
I bought both the roof rack and the cage from etrailer! Put everything on myself...easy peasy!
We got a Yakima Roof Rack system with locks and fairing for a "lime squeeze metallic" (Green...) 2011 Ford Fiesta 5dr Hatchback. Received the package yesterday and set it up within about an hour.
