Hi Trevor,

The Yakima BigStack Kayak Roof Rack w/ Tie-Downs # Y04041 is only good for crossbars up to 3" wide, per Yakima, so it would not be fit for the slats in your Front Runner Slimline cargo basket. The Rhino-Rack Kayak Roof Rack w/ Tie-Downs # S512 would be a better option since it can fit crossbars up to 3-7/8" wide x 1-1/4" tall. It's a bit bulkier than the BigStack but is foldable so you can close it up when not in use.

I'm looking to stick with Yakima systems so I can can use the same key on all carriers. Would the Jaylow be compatible on the Slimline rack (3.5" x 1")?

@TrevorU Yes, the Yakima JayLow Kayak Roof Rack w/ Tie-Downs # Y04073 can fit crossbars up to 3-1/2" W x 1-11/16" T so it would be a fit. It looks like we have some key code specific lock cores available if you already have a Yakima product and don't want to replace every lock core. I'll just need your code to see if we have it or can get it added. If you're buying it all now and need to replace the every lock core then we offer them in the following quantities: 2pk # Y07202 4pk # Y07204 6pk # Y07206 8pk # Y07208
