Question:

I have 8 foot shell with installed Yakima roof tracks system and want a platform that will fit this track. Will these legs fit the Yakima tracks?

Yes, the Rhino-Rack Pioneer Platform Rack - Factory Track Mount - 84" Long x 56" Wide # JA9084 will work with the Yakima Roof Tracks with adapter kits. I reached out to my contact at Rhino-Rack and confimed a fit for this platform rack and the Yakima tracks when you use the Adapter Kit for Rhino-Rack RTL600 Legs - Yakima Tracks # RRT-FK3 and the Adapter Kit for Rhino-Rack RTL600 Legs - Yakima Tracks # RRT-FK4.

He also let me know that the tracks can be no more than 53 inches from center to center, because there is about 2-1/2 inches of cap before the mounting area of the rack. The 56 inches wide is the outside measurement of the platform not the mountable surface measurement.
