Length of Crossbars Needed on ARE Cap for Thule Hullavator & Motion XT Cargo Box
Question:
Hello, I would like to get a Hullavator to mount on my ARE truck cap on a Toyota Tacoma along with a Motion XT cargo box which I already own. Im considering a Yakima Jetstream/Skyline combo since the camper shell has Yakima tracks. Would 60 inch crossbars be wide enough to fit both the Hullavator and the cargo box? Thank you!

Expert Reply:
You can mount the Thule Motion XT Rooftop Cargo Box # TH629806 and Thule Hullavator Pro Kayak Carrier # TH898 on your Tacoma's ARE truck cap with Yakima tracks, but the 60 inch bars aren't wide enough. The Motion XT is 36" wide and the Hullavator takes up 28-1/2" of crossbar space so there isn't quite enough room for both to fit comfortably.
What you will need instead are the 70" crossbars, the Yakima JetStream Crossbars 70" Long - # Y00427.
Since you already have the tracks, the other parts you will need are a quantity of two of the Landing Pad 1 for Yakima Control Towers # Y00221 with the SkyLine Towers for Yakima Crossbars # Y53TR.
This length of crossbar will allow you to mount the Thule Motion XT Cargo Box # TH629806 and Thule Hullavator Pro Kayak Carrier # TH898.
