Video Transcript for Thule Roof Rack THXADAPT3 Review
Today we're taking a look at the Thule Xadapt3 Load Bar Adapter Kit. Now this kit allows you to mount a Hullaport Kayak Carrier onto the Thule Exporter height adjustable load bar. So those load bars are a little bit thicker than standard aero blade or aero boars and so that's why this kit comes with the longer bolts. It's also designed to fit the Thule Cascades Ski Cargo Box. The adapter kit comes with eight bolts and the bolt size is M6 X 80 mm.That's going to do it for today's look at the Thule Xadapt3 Load Bar Adapter Kit.

Exactly what I needed.
by: Kristof06/01/2023
It is as advertised. Enabled me to put my hull-a-port onto a new car with a thicker rack

Great product with Awesome customer ser vice!
by: Linda05/13/2020
I purchased the THXADAPT3 to be able to install my Thule 834 hull a port kayak rack onto the 1.5" square bar of my Adarac Custom Truck Bed Ladder Rack - Steel with Aluminum Crossbars.
I believe it will work but I wish the bolts were a bit longer. See images.
I have been satisfied with etrailer's support and service.
Thanks

Not even close to fitting on the xsporter.. inch easily to short…had to go get longer bolts at the hardware store
by: Michael 10/21/2020
The order was processed immediately and received with no issue at all. Product is as described.
by: E. B.06/11/2017
These bolts solved the issue when there was limited thread engagement on original bolts assembling hullaport kayak carriers on aeroblade bars. I've made many trips to the water without needing to worry a nut might vibrate off. Fits nicely, performs well. Would have been hard to find elsewhere.
by: Julie 06/06/2016
The metric carriage bolts we ordered for our Thule kayak racks were not available elsewhere, and the quick service was welcome since we are ready to hit the waterways.
by: Kevin 01/21/2021
These bolts should be included in the Thule Kayak carrier kit, since the kit claims to fit factory roof racks with 2" diameter cross-bars. They won't fit unless you have these longer bolts.
by: Thomas M.07/04/2015
I had trouble finding carriage bolts that would work for my Thule kayak cradle on Amazon and many other popular sites. After toying with search key words in Google, I finally stumbled upon eTrailer's link to these 80mm carriage bolts. Their product selection made it a simple choice as to where I would make my purchase. The bolts needed to be of a m6 diameter, which is extremely difficult to find in traditional brick and mortar stores. After receiving the product and using them on my kayak cradle, I find them to be a perfect fit for my needs and feel extremely comfortable with them to hold my equipment steady.
by: Dave03/28/2016
I ordered Thule adapter bolts and was surprised at how quickly they arrived. I had intended to purchase them directly from Thule but their minimum shipping cost was [...] and their website indicated that the item "should" ship within 5 days.
I found the bolts at atrailer.com, shipping was [...] and they shipped the next day. A very positive experience!
by: Jennifer 09/10/2022
Great service and customer service...great product as expected. I highly recommend using etrailer.com...they are awesome!
by: Paul C.12/07/2016
Called and spoke to Sam G at etrailer. He assessed my situation and needs, recommended the right product. I received my order quickly and had excellent communication from Sam G. I would definitely come back to eTrailer to order my roof rack or trailer needs.
Thanks Sam G!
by: Raymond R.06/13/2014
These lag bolts work great just long enough for them to fit my Thule Kayak carrier.
Thanks for great service and a quality product.
by: Jim B.09/25/2014
I needed longer bolts to mount my Thule Summit on my VW Touareg. The OEM bars are very thick and the standard bolts are too short. These 80mm extended length bolts are the perfect solution.
by: James 09/17/2020
Exactly what I was looking for to place my kayak racks on my vehicle. The previous bolts were too short to use on my current crossbars. This fixed that problem inexpensively.
by: JZ09/01/2015
I bought an adapter kit that Thule no longer provides but was available through etrailer.com. It was delivered quickly, worked perfectly, no problems/delays. Great service.
by: George09/14/2018
Product was reasonably priced, came quickly, and fit perfectly on our Jeep crossbars.
by: Mark 08/31/2020
The part I ordered arrived as promised and was correct. The package didn't identify the size or length of bolts but just said "Adapter for the Hulliport". But it was the M6 X 80mm length which is what I needed.
THANKS!
by: Tammi06/08/2015
Just what I needed. Fits the thicker rails on our luggage rack much better.
by: Randy K.09/02/2016
Great site, better info than the Thule site and the search got me right to the parts I needed.
by: DMassie09/14/2022
Emailer provided amazing customer service for a product that cost much less than the competition. They emailed me to confirm the order when i placed it, again when it was shipped, and then today to verify that the order was delivered. Delivery was fast and well-wrapped. This was a great purchase experience.

- Adapter to Attach Thule Hullaport to Truxedo Elevate Ladder RackSince the Truxedo Elevate ladder rack # TX84NV that you have has top channels the adapter you'd need for the Hullaport XT # TH848 is the Xadapt part # THXADAPT3 which allows you to utilize the load bar's top channel for attachment.
view full answer... - Kayak Carrier Recommendation for Thule Xspsorter Ladder RackThe crossbars on the Thule Xsporter ladder racks are too large for the hardware that comes with the Malone MegaWing Sit-On-Top Kayak Carrier # MPG207. What you could possibly do is use the Hull-Port, # TH834 with the adapter # THXADAPT3, on your Xsporter. This carrier accepts a kayak up to 36 inches wide and 75 pounds. Another option is to use Thule Surf Pads # TH845000 with box and stern tie downs # TH855XT.
view full answer... - How to Fit Thule Sidearm Roof Bike Rack to Thule Aeroblade CrossbarsIn order to use your Thule Sidearm Roof Mounted Bike Rack part TH594XT on your new crossbars you will actually need to use the Thule Xadapt3 Xsporter Load Bar Adapter part # THXADAPT3 which gives you the longer bolts to install the rack.

The Rhino-Rack 2 will attach to your Rhino-Rack Vortex crossbar system on your 2021 Ford F350 with the RetraxONE XR cover. It comes with a durable steel-tube construction that includes a black powder coat finish for corrosion resistance. As far as a Thule...

If you prefer to carry your kayaks at an angle, you need a j-cradle rack. The Thule Hull-A-Port Kayak Carrier w/Tie-Downs - J-Style - Fixed - Side Loading, part # TH834, will fit your TracONE ladder rack. You will also need the Thule Xadapt3 Xsporter Load Bar Adapter for the Hullaport,...
view full answer... - Will Three Thule Hull-A-Port Kayak Carriers fit Thule Xsporter on 2017 Chevy Colorado?Three Thule Hull-A-Port Kayak Carriers # TH834 will absolutely fit onto the 72" long load bars of the Thule Xsporter # TH500XTB that fits both the 5' and 6' bed of your 2017 Chevy Colorado. Depending on how wide your kayaks are, you may have better luck getting three kayaks to fit by using the Thule The Stacker - Rooftop Multi-Kayak Carrier # TH830, which will take up less room on the XSporter. You would need Adapter # THXADAPT3 to mount The Stacker on the Xsporter and your kayaks could...
view full answer... - Do You Have Parts that Will Allow Me to Fit My Older Thule Hull-A-Port on My WingBar Evo Crossbars?I have a solution for you. I confirmed with my contact at Thule that the older style of Thule Hull-A-Port 835PRO was originally designed to fit Thule square crossbars. However, Thule confirmed that the the Xadapt 3 Xsporter Load Bar Adapter # THXADAPT3 will fit your older-style Hull-A-Port and give you long enough bolts to fit the carrier onto your WingBar Evo crossbars.
view full answer... - Ladder Rack for 2016 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 with Long Cross Bars to Carry 2 KayaksThe ladder rack we carry for your 2016 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 with the 6-1/2 foot bed that has the longest cross bars is the Erickson # EM07706. The cross bars are 78 inches long. However, they're also over 1-3/4 inches in diameter so if you're going to be adding kayak carriers you may have trouble finding one to fit those bars. Another option is the Thule Xsporter # TH500XT which has cross bars that are 72 inches wide. Then add the Top Deck # TH881 for the kayaks. You'll need the...
view full answer... - Canoe Carrier for a 2003 Dodge Ram 1500 with Thule Xsporter Crossbars on a Ladder RackNone of the actual canoe carriers are going to offer enough height to lift the canoe up above the truck roof so I suggest a different approach. You can use the Rhino-Rack T-Load, # RTL002, if your 2003 Dodge Ram 1500 has a 2 inch trailer hitch. The height adjustable support bar will offer a third bar so you can mount the canoe a little further back and not have it interfere with the truck. If you do need a hitch, I have included a link to the hitch main page for your truck. Canoes do...
view full answer... - Does Thule Compass Carrier Fit around Thule Wingbar Evo bars?The Thule Compass Kayak and SUP Carrier # TH890000 is a great fit for your 2020 Honda Fit. It has a wide mouth to make it easier for loading kayaks. It also has nice adjustability like J-style for one kayak or post-style for two kayaks. I attached a screenshot where Thule gives instructions for installing it on your Thule Wingbar EVO crossbars. You need to use the 80mm bolts included with this carrier to install it onto your bars. For your older kayak carrier like the Thule Hull-A-Port...

- Which J-Style Kayak Carrier Will Fit on Adarac Ladder Rack BarsI have a solution for you, but the Adarac Custom Truck Bed Ladder Rack # A46FR for your 2015 Chevy Silverado 1500 short bed has slightly different shaped crossbars; however, we've dealt with this before and I have a great solution. The Adarac crossbars on the systems typically have dimensions of 1-1/2 inches tall and 1-1/2 inches wide, so you'll just need to use an adapter or different bolts to accommodate the bar size in most cases. I recommend starting with the Thule Hull-A-Port Kayak...
view full answer... - Availability of Carriage Bolts For Thule Cascade Ski Cargo BoxI spoke with my contact at Thule and they said the carriage bolts you will need for the Thule Cascade ski cargo box is the Thule Xadapt3 Load Bar Adapter, part # THXADAPT3. This kit will include eight bolts and the size of the bolts are M6 x 80mm, which are 3.15 inches in length. The Thule M6 x 75mm Carriage Bolt, part # TH10403, you have referenced will not be the correct bolt for your Thule Cascade ski cargo box.
view full answer... - Bolts Included with Thule Hull-A-Port Kayak Carrier Barely Fit Toyota RAV4 CrossbarsIt sounds like the Thule crossbars on your Toyota RAV4 are just a bit too tall for the included 65 mm bolts to securely tighten the Hull-A-Port # TH834 J-style cradles onto the roof. I do recommend going with the longer M6 x 80mm bolts # THXADAPT3 for your application to ensure a safe and secure fit. I spoke with my contact at Thule and he stated that the bolts should go all the way through to the other side on the end cap/knob for a proper installation.
view full answer... - Will Thule DockGlide Kayak Carrier Fit Kargo Master Congo Cage on 2015 Jeep Wrangler UnlimitedAt 2 inches those crossbars will be just a little too large for the Thule DockGlide # TH896 to fit with the hardware that is included. You would also need the longer bolts, # THXADAPT3, which are 80mm or 3-1/8 inches long. Using the longer hardware will allow you to use the DockGlide without having to use different crossbars on the Congo Cage.
view full answer... - Tonneau Cover/Ladder Rack Combination for a 2006 Nissan TitanCrew Cab 5-1/2 foot Bed w/Utili-TrackThe only tonneau cover/ladder rack combination that we have available for your 2006 Nissan Titan (which is the same situation for most pickups) Crew Cab 5-1/2 foot Bed w/Utili-Track system is the BAK Revolver X2 # BAK39505 and the TracRac SR # TH43002XT-606. Since just about every ladder rack installs in the stake pockets or by clamping on the side rails of your truck on the inside there are very few options available. The best part about this is that these are 2 of the best products that...
view full answer... - Sliding TracRac Ladder Rack and Thule Kayak Carrier Recommendation for 2016 Ford F-150 5.5 ft BedYes, the Hull A Port Kayak Carrier part # TH834 can be attached to the larger TracRac crossbars using the correct adapter part # THXADAPT3. The correct sliding TracRac ladder rack for your 2016 Ford F-150 5-1/2 foot bed then would be the TracRac SR part # TH43002XT-508.
view full answer... - Will the Thule Hull-A-Port # TH848 Fit 1-1/2 Inch Square Crossbars?I have a solution for you. Unfortunately, the Thule Hull-A-Port XT will not be able to fit onto a square 1-1/2 inch crossbar. However, it will work if you purchase the Thule Xadapt3 # THXADAPT3. The longer bolt sizes that come with the Xadapt3 will allow you to attach the Hull-A-Port to your 1-1/2 square bars.
view full answer... - How to Use a Thule Hull-a-Port Kayak Carrier on Thule Xsporter CrossbarsI spoke to my contact at Thule and without seeing a picture of what your setup looks like she wasn't able to come up with a great solution for you. She did say that the other option you have is the # THXADAPT11 that would allow you to use the tracks of your Xsporter rack instead of going around the bars. Is it possible that the square shoulders of the carriage bolts of the # THXADAPT3 aren't seating properly into the mounting bracket of your Hullaport and that is why you aren't getting...
view full answer... - Parts Needed to Mount Thule Glide & Set Kayak Carrier TH883 on XSporter Ladder Rack TH500XTYou can use the Thule # THXADAPT3 to mount your Glide and Set Rooftop Kayak Carrier TH883 on your XSporter Ladder Rack # TH500XT. I confirmed with my contact at Thule that this is the correct kit for your application.
view full answer... - Will THXADAPT3 Carriage Bolts Fit SportRack Kayak CarrierThe carriage bolts included in part # THXADAPT3 and M6 x 80mm, which is 3.14 inches long. These bolts are designed to fit the Hull-A-Port, part # TH834, and also fits the Thule Cascade Cargo Box. I spoke with my contact at Thule and they told me these should work great for your SportRack kayak carrier.
view full answer... - Are There Thule M6 Carriage Bolts Available That Are Longer Than 75 mmWe do have M6 carriage bolts that are 80 mm long, check out the Thule Xadapt3, part # THXADAPT3, which comes with eight, 80 mm, M6 carriage bolts. The wingnut that you referenced, Thule Replacement Wingnut, part # TH04877, will work with the 80 mm carriage bolts # THXADAPT3, and the 75 mm bolts, part # TH915-0675-11, and # TH10403.
view full answer... - Wing Nuts for Use With the XSporter Load Bar Adapter Kit for the Thule Hull-a-Port Kayak CarrierThe bolts in part # THXADAPT3 are M6 sized, and work with the M6 Wing Nuts, part # 753-0783 However, If you have the Hull-A-Port Pro then part # THXADAPT3 will simply replace your existing bolts, no problem. If you have the Hull-A-Port Pro, part # TH835PRO, you'll need part # THXADAPT11.
view full answer... - Are Longer Bolts Available for the Thule Sidearm Roof Mounted BIke Rack TH594XTIn order to use your Thule Sidearm Roof Mounted BIke Rack part TH594XT on your new crossbars you will actually need to use the Thule Xadapt3 Xsporter Load Bar Adapter part # THXADAPT3. The Replacement Bolt for Thule Sidearm part # 915-068-054 that you referenced is just a replacement bolt so it will be the same length as the bolts you have now and will not work. The Xadapt3 has longer bolts which will then allow you to attach your Sidearm to your new crossbars. You will need one kit for...
view full answer... - Ladder and Bed Rack to Carry Kayaks on a 2016 Ford F-150Ladder rack bars are often much larger than roof rack bars which is the case with the Thule Xsporter Pro ladder rack # TH500XTB or # TH500XT for your 2016 Ford F-150. I do have a kayak carrier option that will work but the Malone carrier # MPG107MD will not fit. Instead you can use the Thule Top Deck # TH881 and to get it to fit the Xsporter bars you will also need adapter # THXADAPT3.

Quite well...the larger bolts were needed for kayak racks due to a different roof rack design. It worked out great and continues to do so.
