As a general rule, towers and fit kits of one manufacturer are not compatible with crossbars and tracks of other manufacturers. However, some accessories that can be attached to crossbars are compatible with other manufacturers.

For a crossbar system with your Thule tracks # THTP54, I recommend the following parts:

- Thule WingBar Evo Crossbars # TH711500
- Rapid Podium Feet for Thule Crossbars - Fixed Point # TH460R
- Fit Kit for Thule Podium-Style Roof Rack Feet - 3101 # THKIT3101

For carriers for your two kayaks that will fit your Thule Crossbars, I recommend the Rhino-Rack 2 Kayak Carrier w/ Tie-Downs # S512-S512X. The Rhino-Rack 2 Kayak Carrier comes with 4 tie down straps to secure the kayaks to your crossbars as well as 4 bow/stern ties.

If you also with to attach rails to the topper, the only option will involve drilling. For this option, I recommend the Swagman Roamer LT Roof Rack for Pop-Up Campers and Camper Shells # S80510. The Roamer LT Roof Rack's Crossbars can be cut to match the length of your truck bed topper. The Rhino-Rack 2 Kayak Carrier will fit these bars as well.
