Video Transcript for Yakima SkyLine And Control Towers Landing Pad Review
Hi there adventures, today we're gonna be taking a look at Yakima's line of landing pads for their SkyLine Towers. And this is what our pads are gonna look like when they're installed. You can see how they attach directly to our factory raised rails, and they're gonna give us an attachment point so we can install a Yakima roof rack on here easily. And this really nice that you've got an option like this because some people just don't like having their roof rack on all the time, 'cause adding a roof rack does cause extra drag which can cause extra noise; wind noise and various things that you may not want all the time when you're driving around. You might just want this only for when you're using it, when you're going on vacation or different trips. So this is a really quick easy way to be able to take on and off a roof rack and also just a very easy way to get a roof rack installed, because often you have to do a lot of measurements and various things to get a roof rack installed, but this is just goes to factory attachment points, so most of the work is done for you.
Yakima's landing pads are designed to fix directly to the raised side rails and fixed points on your vehicle, giving you an easy attachment point to install a Yakima roof rack. The landing pad is designed to attach directly to Yakima's SkyLine Towers and then you can choose the rails that you want. We're showing off the JetStream rails today. The landing pads are gonna be custom-fit for your Vehicle, so you wanna make sure you use our Fit Guide to ensure you get the correct ones that will attach directly to yours. And I think one of the coolest parts about the landing pads here is how quickly you can remove the SkyLine Towers and rails from them, 'cause maybe you don't like the noise; the wind noise, and some other things that happens by putting a roof rack on your vehicle.
It's as easy as pulling out on the cover, and look at that, it lifts right off. We just pull the cover out on the other side and we can just set these in our garage. And we're ready to use them again, it just drop down in place, the cover pushes back on and that locks it in, and they're not going anywhere. Now one of the things I do recommend is switching out the cover here with a lock. You can get lock kits from Yakima here at etrailer, that will work directly with this and that will protect your investment.
That way nobody can just come up and you saw how easy and quickly it was for me to take this off. So it could work away at a potential camp site or something, so I highly recommend those. I also like that these go directly to a factory attachment point, 'cause even if you've got a factory roof rack, maybe that one's damaged, or maybe it doesn't work with your accessories, because it's just simple bars. This one here has T-slots, you got a lot of different options that you can get on a roof rack with, from Yakima here. So get rid of that old system, whether it's broken or just not working out for you and upgrade to a much better one.
If you have an older set of Yakima Control Towers, those will also attach to the landing pads. Since everything's custom-fit for the vehicle, and its going to fixed mounting points, these are extremely quick and easy to install. You follow along with me, I'll show you how to get it done right now. You'll begin your installation by locating your factory attachment points. Once you find those, you wanna remove the cover, it's gonna be different on every vehicle, but we're just gonna pop the cover off with a screw driver. We now take the hardware that comes in our kit and you'll notice that they're labeled. We've got a B on this one and an A on this one. So with the passenger side, the B is the front one, and A is the rear one; and on the driver side it flops, the A is gonna be the front one, and the B is gonna be the rear one. When you put them in place, you wanna be able to see, read the Yakima, so it's kinda like this, then it would just go just like that. So, we're gonna put our B up by the front one, and we're gonna take the A here at the back, and you'll see there is a hole there, right on top, that's gonna line up with the hole in our landing gear pad, so it's just gonna sit into place on there just like that. You'll then have the upper attachment point here, this is going to sit right on top and you also wanna be able to read the Yakima logo. We can then open it up, you might wanna open it up first, just 'cause it's a little stiff. And you'll see there's a hole in this component as well. We'll take the hardware that comes in our kit, we wanna put one of the washers on it, slide it down in there, and then we can use the included tool to run it right down into the top. We'll then repeat this for this three remaining locations. There's a little bit of lock tight that comes on your bolt, so if it feels a little stiff at a certain point, just be careful and just go faster, you can see here it gets stiff towards the end 'cause of that. Now in order to attach a roof rack to your new landing gear rails, you are gonna need Yakima SkyLine Towers. And then you can use whatever crossbars that you want with this. Now in order to get the rails attached to your SkyLine Feet, you need to use the hardware that comes included with your Yakima bars. It's gonna be different depending on the bars that you use. We're using the JetStream bars, so this is what our hardware is gonna look like. It's got a plastic piece and then this will insert in there, so it will slide into the bar. But this does vary depending on whatever your choice is. If you wanna refer to your instructions so you can get this properly attached, based on the bars that you had chosen. So now you can take your prepared bars, you need to have the cover open 'cause that's what's gonna lock it to our attachment point, and then we're just gonna set it in place. And you may need to adjust it, once we get it on there, we're gonna go ahead and just push that cover up, that's gonna insure this side stays on. And then we can go to our other side, and now we're just gonna even out our bar. And there's actually numbers written on the bottom, so you can just make it, so the numbers on the bottom are at the exact same point on each side. Then just open your cover back up once you've got them centered and tighten them down. There we go, we wanna have three clicks on our device so we get the proper torque. There we go. Close the cover back up and that's gonna lock it in place, and we'll just repeat that on the other side, and then install our front rail the same way. Next we're gonna take the rubber strips that come with your bars, and this is really just only for certain type of bars, you may or may not need to do this depending on the rails that you chose. But if you do have bars like this, we'll then put our strip in place. Wanna make sure that we've got it all the way up against our foot pad on the inside here. And then we're gonna run it all the way across to the other side and then cut it to length. And with the little bit of excess that you've got, you can use this as well to cover up the outside. And we're just gonna repeat this at each attachment point here, you got plenty of excess so if you don't make a great cut, you can always make another. And then we'll just repeat for each bar. And that completes our look at Yakima's line of landing pads for the SkyLine Towers..

Custom-fit Landing Pads attach to fixed mounting points in your vehicle's flush, factory side rails. The pads create mounting points for Yakima SkyLine or Control towers.by: David04/25/2024
2004 Toyota RAV4
The landing pad for the 2024 RAV4 has only one screw to hold it in place. Do not over-tighten that screw, that will result in the width of the connection holes on the pad bowing and moving closer together, then the sky tower attachment will not fit into the mounting location. The Yakama installation instructions did not directly address this potential.
The landing pad for a 2004 Honda CR-V used two screws for each pad, and the issue did not occur.
by: T H Butler Smythe02/03/2024
Landing Pad 23 fits my RAV4 Prime perfectly. No issues in the install other than the torque might be more than needed as it deforms the cars roof rail and the fitting (pad) deforms so that the male mount on the racks won't fit. I had to open them up by loosening the bolt to the point it would fit. All good!
by: Thinh02/11/2024
This fits a 2020 Rav4 perfectly. This will prolong all my yakima rack accessories that I have.
by: Chris 08/08/2023
2023 Toyota RAV4
The materials are high quality and finished well. Tightening the bolts causes the receivers to bow inward and made it very difficult to install the Skyline tower base.
by: Jenna 12/15/2022
I didn’t buy a fuel-efficient vehicle with a sunroof so that I could drive around with a roof rack! This rack system goes on and off so quickly and easily, saving me fuel economy and freeing up my sunroof. It’s been a year and it’s been great.

- Recommended Roof Rack For A 2023 Toyota RAV4 With A Thule Hullavator Hi Cathy, To ensure that you can get the extra extension to mount the Thule Hullavator # TH898 you'll want to go with a Yakima roof rack system. Yakima crossbars run their mounting track the entire length of the crossbar so you can go with ones that are longer than your typical length without worrying if the mounting feet will be able to connect. You'll want the following components: Yakima JetStream Crossbars - Black - 60" Long # Y00426 or silver # Y00429 SkyLine Towers for Yakima Crossbars...

This rack consist of the Yakima HD Crossbars # Y01156, SkyLine Towers for Yakima Crossbars # Y53TR, HD Bar SL Adapter for Yakima # Y03541 and Landing Pad 23 for Yakima SkyLine and Control Towers # Y98FR.

You are also correct in saying that you will need a crossbar system in order to mount the Curt Roof Mounted Cargo Basket - 41-1/2" Long x 37" Wide x 4" Deep # C18115. This basket is a great fit for your vehicle and will give you a maximum weight capacity of 150 pounds to transport your boondocking gear. As far as a waterproof cargo bag for the Curt basket, I...

- Will Thule Pro Ride Bike Rack Fit T-Slot on 2021 Toyota RAV4 Flush Rail Yakima JetStream Roof RackThe Thule and Yakima T-Slot accessories fit perfectly with each other so you don't have any issues fitting your Thule ProRide XT Roof Bike Rack # TH598004 on your 2021 Toyota RAV4 Yakima JetStream setup. The only "function" you lose is being able to have both the bike rack and roof rack keyed alike, but that isn't a huge deal. Here are the parts you need for the JetStream system on your flush rails: - 50" JetStream Crossbars # Y00425 - SkyLine Towers # Y53TR - Landing Pad 23 # Y98FR ...

For this roof rack you will need the # Y00425, # Y53TR, and # Y98FR. This roof rack features the JetStream crossbars which are extremely aerodynamic and quiet. These bars have a lightweight aluminum construction that is durable and rustproof. These versatile crossbars work with most universal-mount bike, water, snow, and cargo carriers. The SkyLine Towers are compatible with the Yakima...
view full answer... - Using Longer Crossbars for Roof Rack on 2021 Toyota RAV4 with Flush Roof RailsGreat questions. I have a solution for you to use longer bars, but the Thule WingBar Evo crossbars only have a limited amount of space for the T-Slot on the underside where they connect to the legs and there isn't enough space for you to go with longer bars. So instead I recommend going with the Yakima JetStream system as the T-Slot on the underside for this system runs the length of the crossbar so there is no limiting factor. 50" JetStream Crossbars - # Y00425 OR 60" - # Y00426 SkyLine...

Here are all the parts you'll need for the Yakima HD roof rack on your 2023 Toyota RAV4 with flush side rails: - Yakima HD Crossbars - 60" Long # Y01157 - SkyLine Towers for Yakima Crossbars # Y53TR - Landing Pad 23 # Y98FR - HD Bar SL Adapter # Y03541 The only other thing I recommend are locks to lock...

I do like the Yakima Skyline Towers # Y53TR so definitely get those. The Skyline towers need to mount to what they call a Landing Pad. For your 2021 Toyota Rav4 you need the Landing Pad 23 # Y98FR. The landing pad will use a threaded hole inside your tracks to secure it to your vehicle and the Skyline towers will connect to that! As far as bars go, the longest crossbar length kitted for your 2021 Toyota Rav4 is...

I personally like the Yakima roof racks more because they have some adjustability in the legs to get the most custom fit. Thule is nice as well and might be a little easier to install initially but that's just because there isn't any adjustability in the legs. Here are the parts you'll need either way: Yakima (recommended): 50" JetStream Crossbars - # Y00425 SkyLine Towers - # Y53TR Landing Pad 23 -...

- Roof Rack for Installing Two Thule Hullavator Kayak Carriers on Roof of 2020 Toyota RAV4By '4 Hullavators', I'm assuming you're meaning two sets which would allow you to carry two kayaks. Installing 2 Hullavators for carrying two kayaks will be a tight squeeze on the roof of a RAV4. You'll also need to keep in mind that each set of Hullavators weighs about 40 lbs, and most roof rack setups have a capacity of 165 lbs. This leaves you 80-85 lbs of capacity for the 2 kayaks in order to not overload the roof rack. If the combined weight of your Kayaks is less than 85 lbs, you...

You can get 60 inch crossbars on your 2023 Toyota RAV4 with flush rails by using Yakima bars like you...

The Hullavator requires ends of the cross bars be 4" - 8" past the feet so Hullavator does not make contact with the vehicle when it is down.

What I can say with certainty is that the Yakima JetStream Crossbars # Y00428, with the towers # Y53TR, and the landing pad # Y98FR is an excellent option for your RAV4. When installed, this setup measures 5-5/8" tall, has a maximum weight capacity of 165-lbs, and is 50" long x 2-3/4" wide. I have attached a product review video...

This will fit your 2022 Rav4 with flush factory rails and should give you 4" of crossbar overhang on each side to use the Hullavator. One way you can tell for sure is by measuring from mounting point to mounting point on your roof. If that measurement does not exceed 47 inches, the Hullavator will have enough length.

With those two stipulations in mind, the Thule WingBar Evos don't look like they will provide enough clearance with their 47" of crossbar length.
