Recommended Crossbars for Yakima Top Tracks On an A.R.E Camper Shell CX Series

Question

Question:

Hello. I am looking for a rack system that will fit my A.R.E camper shell, CX series, with mounting tracks. I will be mounting a Thule storage box on top. The A.R.E shell is on a F-350 pickup, 8 foot bed. I believe the tracks on my camper shell are Yakima, but understand that Thule parts will fit. Will the Thule kit, # TH29200XT fit? I found that on your web site. I have a Thule rack system on an older 4Runner, with Aero bars. I like the set up. Does Yakima offer a similar rack system? Thanks!

The Thule TracRac CapRac Ladder Rack for Camper Shell/Truck Cap # TH29200XT is not actually meant to be installed into top tracks. This crossbar system is actually meant to be installed in fixed points on your camper shell so it's not going to work with your Yakima tracks.

Yakima does offer a complete system - # Y47CV which includes everything, but since you already have the tracks you'd just need the crossbars # Y00427, the landing pad # Y00221, and the towers # Y53TR.

These bars and towers will work great with your existing Yakima tracks and will easily allow you to add a storage box on top of your camper like # TH6357B.
