Question:

If I mounted the Yakima rails on my cap, what would the towers be I need to look at? I cant figure which ones these would be as everything pictured in vehicle specific as far as I can see. I would like to see costs of round, square and blade style roof bars.

If you Leer truck cap doesn't already have the tracks, you can use the Yakima 60" Tracks for Roof Racks # Y01135. These are available in 42 inch # Y01126 or 54 inch # Y01127 as well.

For your compatible system, I recommend the Landing Pad 1 for Yakima Control Towers - Qty 2 # Y00221, the Replacement Yakima Control Tower for Factory-installed Tracks (QTY 1) # Y8890027, and the round bar like the 66 inch # Y8810025. The bars can be order to match your cap width or can be cut to size.

For the tracks to add aero bars, I recommend using the Thule System which is compatible with the Yakima rails. This starts with the Thule Fit Kit for Podium Style Foot Pack # THKIT3101. Then you will use the Thule Podium Foot Pack for Aero Bars # TH460R along with the Thule WingBar Evo Load Bars - Aluminum - 60" - Qty 2 # TH711520. This is the max length for the aero bars, but if you want longer you can use the ProBar Evo # TH713700 which can be cut to length. For additional security, you may want the Thule One-Key System Lock Cylinders - Qty 4 # TH450400.

Thule has discontinued the square bar option for applications like this.
