Question:
I just picked up a locknload rack and with the bar clamps. They will not tighten enough onto my bars. I want to eventually be able to do a roof tent, and might as well prepare for that. What parts do I need to attach my lock n load?

Hey Jeremy,
I believe you're asking what you need to mount the Yakima LockNLoad Platform Roof Tray # Y05044 directly to the side rails on your 2021 Subaru Outback, and if so, I verified directly with Yakima the exact parts you'll need:
- SkyLine Towers # Y53TR
- Landing Pad 27 # Y46VR
- LockNLoad SL Adapters # Y05042-2
And that's it! These parts are all need to mount the LockNLoad directly to your Outback.
