The Thule Hullavator Pro Kayak Carrier item # TH898 is 100 percent compatible and will mount directly to the crossbars of the Yakima OverHaul HD Adjustable Truck Bed Ladder Rack item # Y01151-58.

There are no type of adapters or anything else needed, and the Hullavator item # TH898 will give you the easiest-to-use kayak carrier because of its lift assist that takes most of the work out of mounting your kayak to the carrier.

The only other thing I recommend is adding locks to secure the Hullavator to the rack, which you can add with the Thule One-Key System Lock Cylinders item # TH450200.
