Question:
What is the center-to-center spacing on the u-bolts for this ? Im trying to match the 2inch hole spacing on an old Yakima box and fit it to new wing-shaped factory cross-rails on a 2016 Toyota 4-Runner. It looks like the Rhino-Rack #S280 Crossbar kit could be an option? Perhaps a better option? Please advise....thanks.

The U-Bolts that come in the Car Top Kit # CTC-18PARTS and the Rhino-Rack Kit # S280 measure 4" apart on center.
It is possible to use a mounting kit like this on an older Yakima box if there isn't anything else available although you may need to drill new holes and seal the old ones with something like part # LT37467.
There may be a replacement mounting kit from Yakima depending on what you have. If you can let me know the name of your Yakima cargo box and/or send me a picture of it I can see if something is available that doesn't require you to modify the box.
