Question:

I have a Leer camper shell on a 2019 Nissan Frontier King Cab 6foot bed. I am interested in Yakima system. The level part of my shell is about 46inch long see picture. It looks like the Yakima HardTop SL Roof Rack - 60inch CoreBar Crossbars - 42inch Tracks system will work, but I wanted to confirm. I was thinking of also purchasing the Yakima JayLow so that I can easily transport my kayak and stand up paddleboard at the same time. Are there any problems using the JayLow with the HardTop SL Roof Rack, or extra parts I need to buy? Also, I currently have the Yakima BigStack from a Q-tower roundbar system with the SKS lock system. Am I able to reuse either these parts with the HardTop SL Roof Rack? I would typically use the JayLow, but wondered if the BigStack would work if I needed to transport several kayaks.

I do have a solution for you. Your Yakima roof rack will consist of the following items:

Yakima 42" Tracks for Roof Racks, part # Y01126
Yakima CoreBar Crossbars - Steel - Black - 60" Long - Qty 2, part # Y00422
SkyLine Towers for Yakima Crossbars - Fixed Mounting Points, Flush Rails, and Track Systems - Qty 4, part # Y53TR
Landing Pad 1 for Yakima SkyLine and Control Towers - Qty 2, part # Y00221, Qty of 2

This is a roof rack with elliptical shaped bars. These bars help with with wind noise and fuel efficiency. The Yakima BigStack Roof Mounted 2 Kayak Carrier System, part # Y04041, will work with the new rack and clamp to the CoreBar.
The Yakima JayLow Kayak Carrier w/ Tie-Downs - J-Style or Post Style - Folding - 1 or 2 Kayaks, part # Y04073, will also clamp to the CoreBar.. Each of these carriers come with two cam straps and bow and stern straps.
