Question:
Hello, I have a 2018 Tacoma with a Leer XR100 cap with pre installed rails believe theyre compatible with Thule T slots. Im looking to install Thule Evo Wing Bars on the cap rails, but cant figure out what fit kit I need. Can you please advise? Thanks, Bill

Hey Bill! You aren't finding the fit kit because Thule discontinued the one for rails and doesn't have a replacement right now. My recommendation is to install a Yakima roof rack instead. This will still fit the Thule tracks, and their JetStream bars are comparable to the WingBar. You will need the following:
-SkyLine Towers for Yakima Crossbars # Y53TR
-Landing Pad 1 for Yakima SkyLine and Control Towers # Y00221
-Yakima JetStream Crossbars - Aluminum - Black - 50" Long # Y00425
OR
-Yakima JetStream Crossbars - Aluminum - Black - 60" Long # Y00426
-Yakima Same Key System (SKS) Lock Cores # Y07204 (optional)
You can choose between the 50" and 60" bars based on what would work best for your setup. I do recommend measuring/mocking it up to see which you prefer.
What will you be using the rack for?

I believe the Yakima landing pad 1 kit for the Yakima Skyline towers do work with the Thule rails. I installed the Thule rails on my ARE DCU topper on my 01 Ram 2500, and used two different versions of the landing pad kits due to adding a single cross bar after I put the earlier version Skyline towers for mounting a Renogy 250 watt solar panel to charge the house battery and a Renogy 12v fridge. I added the additional cross bar setup to allow for installation of a tilt able rack for my solar panel and also be able to either install a basket or a rocket box ( or carry ladders and lumber). I already had a couple sets of older Yakima round bars and had to use adapter kits to mount the round bars on the skyline towers. Once you get the correct parts the whole install goes pretty smoothly. Good luck!

I was planning on using it to transport two kayaks, most likely with two e98878 etrailer racks. Thanks!
