Question:

Looking to transport bicycles and snow skis in a thule/yakima/etc. type box with my new rig. My RAV4 Off Road Adventure has the raised rails, but no crossbars. Ive looked at sea sucker... not sure that is a viable option as I have ridgesinch on the roof.

I have a solution for your 2021 Toyota RAV4, but the SeaSucker systems wouldn't work if you've already got raised side rails. Instead, I recommend using the Rhino Rack Roof Rack system for 2021 Toyota RAV4 that uses parts # RRVA126B-2 and # RRSX100.

These towers attach to your raised side rails and would allow you to mount a variety of accessories from just about any manufacturer.

For a bike rack, you could use the Inno TireHold 2 # INA389 which holds the bikes by the tires and won't damage your bikes' frames, and if you need a cargo box you could use the Yakima Skybox 12 # Y07334.

I've linked some review videos of these parts for you to check out
