Roof Rack - Thule setup vs Yakima
 

I see a lot of xB2s using Yakima racks but is anyone using Thule?
I am getting a great deal on a full rack system plus a pull top snowboard carrier and I'm wondering if anybody have something similar

I want bars that don't stick out as much, but it doesn't let me see any sizes. I used the Thule fit guide on the website for 08-11 xBs,
it suggested I use the RB60 Rapid Aero Load Bar Pair and KIT 1482

im using an INNO rack and like it a lot. Nothing wrong with THULE.

Same here using the inno rack for some time now and just love it! Does the same job and look for a hole lot less!

now that i finally got the right sized fairing i love the look of it.

i had the same INNO rack on my first and 2nd gen xB. Used a Thule fairing and attachments on it.

I'm using the THULE rack. I love it. I like the fairing more vs Yakima, haven't seen the INNO in person tho.

and how about a photo just for fun...:ponder:

I had my inno hooks modified a lot so i could have the fairing right as the roof line flattemed out. i think the directions say to have the hooks directly above the door handles. My front bar was about 8" from the windshield.

Hey man can you show me your setup? which foot pack and bars did you go with? and also are you using the snowsport carriers?

400xt Aero Foot, 2187 fit clip, 58" square load bars, 52" fairing

I use the flat top snowboard carrier. Fits 4 boards.

YAK LIKE YOU KNOW!

got a thule rack with a yakima fairing for sale..

really? how? please PM cause i wish i had mine like that!

Get the Inno rack. I got the square bar, locking towers, clips on sale on an internet site for like $170 free ship. I think they had a "free bars" special They are as good IMHO as the Thule. I carry 2 kayaks on top of my box. I place them a lot farther apart than the recommended 24", more like 42". It provides more support to my kayaks as I lay them flat. Anyway I am a happy camper with them.

heres another with mine

It was a lot of measuring, trial and error, cutting, grinding, and welding. haha. I dont remember the exact measurements, but it was an idea that I had and just ran with it.

Heres some shots of how it looked:
