Recommended Roof Rack and Basket for A.R.E. Cap with Yakima Tracks  

Question:

Expert Reply:

For your A.R.E. Truck Cap that features the Yakima tracks, you will just need 4 of the Yakima Control Towers # Y8890027, 2 sets of the Yakima Landing Pad # Y00221, and one set of Yakima crossbars, which come in varying lengths.

For 58 inch bars use # Y00409
For 66 inch bars use # Y00410
For 78 inch bars use # Y00411

This will give you a complete roof rack system on your A.R.E. cap.

Then for a cargo basket, I recommend taking a look at the Yakima MegaWarrior # Y07080. This is a really nice, versatile, heavy-duty basket that features a 130 pound weight capacity. It will work with crossbar spreads of 30 to 38 inches and measures 52 inches long, 48 inches wide, and 6-1/2 inches tall. You can add the Stretch Net # Y07081 to help keep your cargo securely in place inside the basket.

I have attached a couple short video demonstrations on these products that you can also check out.

I have the yakima tracks on an A.R.E. 5' bed cap. What roof baskets are available without using a rack system? For example, ARE has a basket that mounts directly to their tracks. Do you know of any others?

Unfortunately we don't have any cargo baskets available that are designed to mount directly to the tracks on your A.R.E. cap. Other than the one you mentioned that's available directly from A.R.E., I'm not aware of another option other than installing a crossbar system like mentioned above, first.
