• Fishing Rod Carriers With Lifters For Extra Clearance For Larger Reel Rods
  The Yakima ReelDeal # Y04089 is the only rod holder that has the lifter brackets # Y8860037 to lift the carrier to gain extra clearance. You could get the Yakima FatCat # Y03095 which has lifter brackets built in. This is marketed towards ski and snowboards but can be used with fishing rods too. Either of these options will give you the clearance you need.

• Roof Rack and Ski Carrier for a 2014 Lexus RX 350
  For your 2014 Lexus RX 350 I recommend keeping things lower profile with your roof rack and ski carrier. Yakima's RailBar kit, part # Y00434-2 for Silver and part # Y00449-2 for black, provide a low profile, easy to install kit to add roof bars with a factory look onto your Lexus RX 350. These bars are easy and quick to install and include channel mounts, important to keeping a low profile on the vehicle. One of the best features of this rack is that the top channel's rubber inset actually...

• Rhino-Rack vs Yakima FatCat4 Snowboard/Ski Rack Comparison
  Yakima is a top of the line brand that offers great racks at a price that reflects the quality. The Rhino Rack brand on the other hand comes in a much lower price with only a marginal difference in quality to be totally honest. In my opinion the Rhino Rack carriers and racks are the best value in most cases and what I normally recommend. That being said the Ski Rack part # RR574 is a great value, BUT it does require a tool to tighten the clamps to your crossbars and the Yakima part #...

• Can Yakima FatCat EVO Attach to Thule Roof Cargo Basket TH859XT
  To use with the Yakima FatCat EVO Ski and Snowboard Carrier like part # Y03095, the Yakima LoadWarrior Roof Basket # Y07070 is definitely the better option. The crossbars on this basket, as you mentioned, feature a straight design and will work perfectly with this and many other roof rack accessories. The Thule Roof Cargo Basket # TH859XT that you referenced, because of those curved bars, won't work well with the Yakima FatCat EVO or any other traditional crossbar mounted accessory. This...

• Snowboard/Ski Rack Recommendation for 2015 Nissan Xterra with Factory Crossbars
  Since your 2015 Nissan Xterra has factory crossbars installed on it the simplest and most cost efficient solution is going to be to install a rack on them that attaches directly. The Yakima FatCat 6 part # Y03096 would be a fantastic option that I have confirmed as a fit. This can carry up to 6 skis or 4 snowboards at a time and would work well. Check out the review video I attached for more info as well.

• Tool-Free Ski Carrier for a 2017 Subaru Forester with Aero Crossbars
  We have some excellent roof ski carriers that I think you will like. If you want to stick with Yakima I recommend the FatCat, # Y03095.

• What Difference Between Yakima FatCat Evo and Freshtrack Ski Carriers
  The FatCat Evo Yakima ski carrier part # Y03095 is considered to be the premium option over the Freshtrack part # Y03092. One difference is that the Evo has a more aerodynamic shape which will create less wind noise and minimize fuel mileage loss. The mounting hardware that attaches the carrier to the load bars is also a little nicer with the Evo as it uses a metal rubber coated strap that wraps around instead of a claw with a t-bolt like the Freshtrack.

• Yakima Roof Mounted Ski Carriers for a 2012 Toyota Tacoma
  If your 2012 Toyota Tacoma came with the factory installed roof rack with crossbars that run side to side or if you have a Yakima roof rack then you can use the FatCat # Y03095. If your 2012 Toyota Tacoma does not have a roof rack you would need to add one first. I have included a link to the Yakima roof rack options for your Tacoma.

• Ski Carriers that Will Directly Fit Factory Roof Rack on a 2007 Subaru Impreza
  Rhino-Rack does not provide a fit list for accessories and factory roof racks so to determine if ski carrier # RR576 will fit you will have to do a little measuring. The carrier feet will fit around bars that are 3-1/8 inches wide or less. If the crossbars on your 2007 Subaru Impreza measure within these parameters you can use this carrier. No other parts would be needed. Other companies do list what will fit factory roof racks. Thule lists # TH7325, # TH7326, and # TH7324 as a direct...

• Is There a Way to Adapt a Discontinued Thule 575 Snowboard Carrier to Yakima CoreBars
  I have a solution for you, but it depends on the construction of your Thule 575 Snowboard Carrier (which has been discontinued). If the mounting adapters for the load bars are riveted on (which is common for that type of carrier) then there is not a way to change out the hardware to be used with the Yakima CoreBars. You would need to get a new carrier like the Yakima FatCat EVO 4 Ski and Snowboard Carrier # Y03095 which would work with the CoreBars and most other roof rack styles. If...

• Recommendation To Carry 2 Snowboards and 4 Pair Skis On Roof Rack
  My recommendation for you is the Yakima Big PowderHound Roof-Mounted, Locking Ski and Snowboard Carrier - 4 Skis/2 Boards, side by side as you mentioned. With your 64.5 inch crossbars, you will have enough room to mount two of them with a little room to spare. They each measure 30" long x 2-3/4" wide x 6-3/8" tall. The large, push button system makes loading and unloading your gear quick and easy even with gloves or mittens on. The change to 6 snowboards will be limited due to the size...

• Ski and Snowboard Rack for a 2014 Subaru Outback Wagon with Factory Crossbars
  I have a solution for you, but unfortunately the Thule SnowPack, part # TH7324 is not a confirmed fit for the factory bars on a 2014 Subaru Outback Wagon according to Thule. The speed link system may be able to reach around and give a fit, but we haven't had the ability to directly confirm this in house. Instead, I recommend the extremely similar Yakima FatCat EVO4, part # Y03095. This offers similar locking and adjustable height features as the SnowPack, and Yakima does confirm this...

• Can I Swap Out Ski Carriers on the Yakima EXO Swing Away System?
  The ski carrier item # Y57VR that comes with the Yakima EXO Swing Away Ski and Snowboard Carrier item # Y94ZR has a specially designed base that only works with the Swing Away System. That makes other carriers like the Yakima FatCat EVO item # Y03095 incompatible with the EXO system because they don't have this base.

• How to Tell if Yakima FatCat EVO Fit T-Slots of Tesla Model Y
  Hey Leland; thanks for the question and let's start with the accessory you were mentioning, which is the Crossbar SmarT-Slot Kit 2 for Yakima FatCat Ski and Snowboard Carriers # Y03098. This is what is needed to add the T-bolts to both the Yakima FatCat EVO 4 # Y03095 and EVO 6 # Y03096. That said, I don't know the exact T-slot dimensions of the Tesla Model Y's crossbars. You'll have to measure the T-slots, and I can tell you the T-bolts of the Yakima kit are 1/4" by 1/4". So you can use...

  This is going to look SWEET! Here is the RetraxPRO Tonneau Cover # RTX48FR that will fit your 2021 Ford Ranger. This one is for the 5 foot bed.
