Recommended Roof Rack and Basket for A.R.E. Cap with Yakima Tracks
Question:
I’m looking for roof rack and basket to mount to existing Yakima track on a ARE truck cap
asked by: Dan J
Expert Reply:
For your A.R.E. Truck Cap that features the Yakima tracks, you will just need 4 of the Yakima Control Towers # Y8890027, 2 sets of the Yakima Landing Pad # Y00221, and one set of Yakima crossbars, which come in varying lengths.
For 58 inch bars use # Y00409
For 66 inch bars use # Y00410
For 78 inch bars use # Y00411
This will give you a complete roof rack system on your A.R.E. cap.
Then for a cargo basket, I recommend taking a look at the Yakima MegaWarrior # Y07080. This is a really nice, versatile, heavy-duty basket that features a 130 pound weight capacity. It will work with crossbar spreads of 30 to 38 inches and measures 52 inches long, 48 inches wide, and 6-1/2 inches tall. You can add the Stretch Net # Y07081 to help keep your cargo securely in place inside the basket.
I have attached a couple short video demonstrations on these products that you can also check out.

I have the yakima tracks on an A.R.E. 5' bed cap. What roof baskets are available without using a rack system? For example, ARE has a basket that mounts directly to their tracks. Do you know of any others?
