Question:
Hi! I need some help. I have a 2018 Chevrolet Equinox. I also have Rhino Vortex Bar 1180s. Can you tell me what else I need to install these crossbars onto my Equinox? Thank you!

Hi Jim; the 1180 is the same as the # RRVA118B which is a 46" (1180mm) crossbar. If you have the raised factory rails you can use the Rhino-Rack RX100 Legs # RR97AP along with those crossbars for a complete roof rack on your Equinox.
For a naked roof you can use the Rhino-Rack 2500 Series Legs # RRRLKVA along with the Fit Kit # DK488. However, Rhino-Rack does recommend at least 49" crossbars for the naked roof setup. The complete roof rack with the feet, fit kit, and 49" bars is the # RR49VE.

Hey Jim, how did things go getting the Rhino-Rack crossbars set up on your Equinox? Did the RX100 legs or the 2500 Series setup end up being the right fit for your roof? Your update could make it easier for the next person with the same question.
