Could Yakima Crossbars be Used with SeaSucker Roof Rack # 298-SX6000B

Updated 04/15/2019 | Published 04/13/2019

Question:

Since I have collected many Yakima rack parts over the years, I have several crossbars which I believe will fit this system. Can I purchase part # 298-SX6000B without the crossbars? If so, what would be the cost? This would be used on a 2010 Tacoma Dbl Cab and a SnugTop fiberglass camper shell. Thanks,

Yakima round bars are actually slightly smaller in diameter than what comes with the SeaSucker roof rack kits like the part # 298-SX6000B you referenced. The SeaSucker bars are 1-1/4 inch thick whereas Yakima bars are 1-1/8 inch thick. This means you wouldn't be able to use Yakima bars with this roof rack.
