Speaker 1: Today we're taking a look at the replacement Timberline Tower for Yakima cross bars. This unit replaces a damaged or lost Timberline Tower for your Yakima roof rack. The Timberline Tower lets you mount cross bars to your vehicles raised factory side rails. Now with this part number you get one Timber Tower. It's made from a durable construction with rubber coating at all contact points to prevent scratching and damaging to your roof rack or vehicle. The stainless steel strap right here is rubber coated, the top portion that makes contact with the cross bars is coated, and the underside that makes contact with the top of the raised side rails, that's coasted as well.The rubber coated steel strap secures around the raised factory side rail on your vehicle, very strong and durable design.
The end cap is included and you can see here it has the portion that can be removed. That way if you want to install a lock you can definitely do that.To remove the end cap, you push in on the ends here, pull. You have two main bolts in here. This one is what tightens the strap around your raised side rail, so the strap goes around our raised side rail, fits back into the housing, and then you tighten that down. Now the tool to do that is not included with the replacement Timberline Tower, that would come standard with your original kit.
Then you have a bolt located right here, which is designed to secure the tower to the cross bar.That's gonna do it for today's look at the replacement Timberline Tower for Yakima cross bars.

Replaces a damaged or lost TimberLine tower for your Yakima roof rack. TimberLine towers let you mount crossbars to your vehicle's raised, factory side rails. Includes 1 TimberLine tower.I had 2 get ripped off in a automatic car wash. These were the correct replacements. You will need to take the rubber fitting off the old ones to get a super snug fit.
Your internet is easy to negate and very quickly found the product I was looking. The product is just what I was looking for. Thanks
Very happy with this item. I was searching for item for a couple of days and found it on your site. It was ordered, shipped, and arrived here in a couple of days.
Thank you much,

High quality rack parts. Thanks etrail er
I appreciate the help with the order…I completely understand the shipping delay due to ordering during the pandemic, but I appreciate the feedback during the shipping delay!
Boy between Yakima products and etrailer’s customer service it’s a 10 start team. Product was installed by me with a little help from etrailer’s video And it fits great. Now awaiting the Yakima Kayak racks. And of course etrailer delivered it ahead of promised. Again great team to work with.
I’m using these towers in conjunction with the JetStream cross bars. Assembly and setup was easy, all the tools you need are provided, except perhaps a tape measure for mounting. Looks and feels solid and well made. This is my second set of Yakima towers and cross bars. I plan to use this setup for an old roof top hard shell case and for my mountain bike to get to the trail head.
After completing the installation I took it out for a spin to check for wind noise at highway speeds. No discernible noise, I’m very happy about that as I really don’t want to remove these when not needed. For reference these are mounted on a 2019 Subaru Forester Touring with factory raised rails. Plenty of clearance for attaching equipment and gear.
Side note: the gentleman that assisted me on the phone while ordering was very pleasant and helpful, got me the right products very quickly as I was in a time crunch. Two thumbs up!
These mounts have a solid feel are pretty straight forward to install. Everything you need to install them comes in the package. Just don't lose the torque tool.
A couple items that keep me from giving this 5 stars: The number of turns required to set up the mounts are a little extreme. You really need to turn the strap screw 100 times before preparing to install. The mount screw release must be loosened properly or else the cross bar will not install easily. It would be nice if they told you this or mentioned it in the instructions.
Once started, installing the cross bar on the mounts took about 15 minutes. The mount was easy to install on my car's racks. I've only had the system mounted for a day so we'll see how they work under real use.
Timely delivery of my order, as usual! Easy to install on my 2015 4Runner. I took one of the mounts and followed directions just to be sure then the other three went even quicker. I now have the ability to carry up to 3 kayaks, perfect! etrailer is a great company!
Rack installed easily. Also purchased hitch and carrier from eTrailer. All arrived quickly. Alex J helped me out when my rack wasn't going to arrive on time for my trip. I'm a happy camper (literally).
Instructions were clear and the fit is good. Solid product for my 4 Runner since the factory cross bars were way too low to attach anything without rubbing the roof badly.
I haven't noticed any noise from highway driving.
Perfect. Perfect. Easy to install and high quality. Confident in this product. Excellent instructions. Used with crossbars of course!
Durable products it looks nice and decent. Will travel from New mexico to washington state im not worried coz i trust etrailer
I found that etrailer had the parts from Yakima racks that I needed and more importantly I was able to order them as they were on back order. The estimated time was the parts would be in stock on the 8th. I received an update from George that the parts had shipped shortly after the new in stock date. I purchased the TimberLine towers because they would adjust to go around the stake mount bars on my 2020 Silverado. I ow can mount my bike carriers above the bed cover.
These Timberline mounts are replacing my Baseline mounts I used on a different vehicle. I was able to use my same bars with these mounts. Easy installation, but I have tried loading my Kayaks as of yet.
Excellent roof racks. Very high quality. Easy to install. I put these on my 2019 RAV4 Adventure. I also have a set on the topper of my 2010 Tacoma. Ordering through etrailer was easy. There was very good communication on the packing, shipping and tracking of the roof rack as it was in transit. A wonderful experience.
I was going to go with the cheap generic racks and towers, so glad I didn't. These Yakima towers and aero crossbars are really nice! People complained that the tower covers didn't fit very tight. You need to get the locks for these so they lock on. Don't try to use them without the locks.
The TimberLine Towers allowed me to save the roofrack I have on my Jeep. The first year it worked very well with the help of the [online] video AND THEN the second year I needed that [online] video to help me tighten-up the TimberLine to the car. The TiberLine Towers can be a little tricky due to the multiple connections so be sure to checkout the [online] video.
Product was packaged well, arrived in perfect condition.
Instructions easy to follow. Installation took less than (1) hour. I did it alone & I’m 76 yrs. old.
Is very sturdy. Looks good on my 5 door Subaru.
The feature that impressed me the most in dealing with your company was how I was able to track my package inside your facility with the name of the employee handling the item before it even shipped. Very organized. Would definitely recommend you to others & purchase from you again.
