Can Yakima Fatcat 6 Carrier be Adapted to Fit Top Channel of Crossbars  

Updated 12/18/2025 | Published 12/17/2025

Question:

Do you have a part that fits the fat cat 6 and also works to secure it to the Rivian R1t’s crossbar but within the T channel it has?

Hey Brett, yes you can adapt your FatCat 6 to fit to the top channel of your Rivian crossbar by swapping to the hardware kit part # 8860085. What crossbars do you have on your Rivian?

Just the standard Rivian branded crossbar system, I think there’s only one iteration?

@Brett Makes sense! I should have looked closer at the picture you submitted and I would have seen that.

I also have the clamp style currently so I don’t have the wingnut on the inside it’s just a bolt threaded down and it seems the part you tagged doesn’t come with wing nuts to secure that slot system to the fat cat?

@Brett Do you know about what year the rack was bought from Yakima?

@JamesonC I don’t actually, I purchased it off of fb marketplace in good condition. All I know is it is a fat cat 6, has the plastic clamp style attachment on the bottom (not the rubber strap style) which has a threaded bolt going down from the unit that attaches it together. The message here won’t allow me to post additional photos or I could send a photo of it. It is silver and black

@Brett Is it gray with red ends or is it black with red ends? You can email me the pictures of the rack if you like as well [email protected]
