Question:

I have a rhino rack on my camper shell with 2 vortex aero bars and I used a Yakima landing pad 11 to mount directly into the factory holes on a 05 Tacoma cab to add a 3rd bar...is there a rhino rack tower that will fit into the Yamika landing pad 11 to use a rhino rack vortex bar that will match the other 2 or im gonna go with the Yakima skyline tower but will that fit a rhino rack vortex bar? Thank you!

Expert Reply:

I do have an option for you but you cannot use a Rhino Rack Mounting Foot with a Yakima Landing Pad nor can you use a Rhino Rack Crossbar with a Yakima Mounting Foot. The best option you have is to just finish out the 1/2 Yakima Roof Rack with the SkyLine Towers for Yakima Crossbars part # Y00152 and the Yakima JetStream Crossbar part # 8880649. Rhino-Rack does not offer a system for the fixed mounting point nor do they sell 1/2 systems so the above is really your only option. The height of each crossbar should still be pretty similar though might not be exact but there is not much that can be done for this.
