Partially. The Thule RodVault 2 carrier # TH34FR23YR has aluminum tubes and reel box that come pre-drilled, and you’ll bolt on the mounting brackets with the included hardware. One of our customers in Boise installed hers on a Subaru Ascent in under 30 minutes, solo. No special tools needed, just the included hex wrench and a little patience to align the brackets.
Have you installed roof racks or roof rack accessories before? If you let me know the crossbars you have, I can help you out a bit more.
