How to Carry SUP and SkyBox 21 on Roof of 2006 Land Rover LR3

Question:

Thanks Jon, I have attached a few pictures here. There are tracks that run front to back and oval shaped cross bars that slide into the tracks.

Could you let me know if your Land Rover LR3 has factory installed tracks that run from the front to back or if the OEM roof rack is more of a raised type? I tried doing some research but was having trouble finding anything that looked like it was an actually OEM roof rack. If you could send me some pictures of your roof rack system that would help me know what you have.

Thank you for the extra info and pictures! Since paddle boards need to be transported flat you will need some larger crossbars, but this should definitely still be do-able. Your Yakima SkyBox 21 is 36" wide so you will need to go with longer crossbars. For your 2006 Land Rover LR3 you will need the following: SkyLine Towers - # Y53TR Landing Pad 4 - # Y00224 70" JetStream Bars - Black # Y00427 Then for a SUP carrier I recommend the Thule Taxi XT # TH810001. It has a max width of 40" if you have a 34" board but you will be able to hang some of the side of the Taxi XT off to the side to make it fit with your SkyBox. Just make sure that you are staying within the width of your side mirrors so that you don't have anything hanging out further than your vehicle.
