Question:

I believe the 60 inch cross bar may be to small to put my 2- 29 inch kayaks side by side and the 70 inch may be a little to wide. Would it be possible to trim the 70 inch cross bar down to 65 inches?

Expert Reply:

We have a similar option for you, but you do not want to cut or trim down the Yakima JetStream Crossbars # Y00427. Instead, there are different Yakima bars that are designed to be cut down if needed, called CoreBars. The 70 inch CoreBars, and rest of the parts needed for a Yakima roof rack on your 2021 Ford F-350 Crew Cab are the following:

- Yakima CoreBar Crossbars # Y00423

- BaseLine Towers for Yakima Crossbars # Y28TR

- BaseClip Fit Kit # Y06185

I do recommend considering locks for the roof rack to keep in safely in your possession; you can do that with the Yakima Same Key System (SKS) Lock Cores # Y07204.
