Rhino-Rack Rooftop Cargo Tray for Installation on Yakima Round Bar Rack System
Question:
I have a 97 Mistubishi Montero with an existing Yakima roundbar rack on the rain gutters. Id like to mount a 72inch Rhino Pioneer platform with side rails. Is that possible/compatible with the existing Yakima bars?

The two sizes of Rhino-Rack Pioneer rooftop cargo trays, parts # RR42114BF (48 x 38) and # RR42115BF (58 x 47), will fit on round Yakima roof rack crossbars. These Rhino-Rack brand rooftop tray-style carriers are shown on the linked page. Both work on round bars thanks to included universal-fit hardware.
You will need cargo tie downs to secure your cargo to the tray. We offer all sort of tie down straps to keep your cargo safely secured to the tray. I linked our page for cam-buckle strap sets like 4-piece set # IMF12637.
You may also care to use a step like Telesteps # TE97FR for easier loading and unloading. This simple step comes fully-assembled, is made of lightweight aluminum, folds up for storage and gives you a foot of extra reach for access to the rooftop cargo items.
It is a good idea to confirm the vehicle's roof weight rating to ensure the combination of the cargo and tray weights remains within its capacity.
