Yes. The Yakima Rain Gutter Towers # Y00101 can be used in a complete roof rack system using the Yakima Round Bars # Y00409 to mount the LockNLoad Platform Rack for Crossbars - Aluminum - 55" Long x 49" Wide # Y05044-39. You won't be able to mount the LockNLoad directly to the roof though.

It looks like you might have a 2020 Jeep Gladiator, so if you wanted to mount directly to your roof the best solution is the Rhino-Rack Pioneer Platform Rack with Backbone Mounting System - 48" Long x 56" Wide # RR34AB, which will install directly to the hardtop and give you an off-road ready system to carry plenty of gear.

If you've got a different vehicle, just let me know and I can see if there is an alternative solution for you.
