The Thule Hullavator part # TH898 requires an aftermarket roof rack installed onto the raised side rails of your 2023 Subaru Outback Wagon like with the Rhino Rack part numbers # RRVA126S-2 and # RRSX100 and you'd be set. You can install the carrier to the top channels of the Rhino Rack or you could use the brackets that wrap around the bars.

The Yakima JetStream crossbars have a T-slot that is 1 inch wide and 1/2 inch tall so any t-bolt used would have to fit within those measurements. The 4-bolt set of M10 x 1.5 x 25 bolts #Y8880184 will work since the head is 3/4 inches square but I…
