Badass man!!!! Glad you nailed it!!!

Just found this system. Wonderful install instructions with good visual aids. It will help me avoid fumbling when I go to install a set.

Just installed these rails on my ARE top that already had the tracks from the factory. Your video was a huge help.

excellent indispensable video form Yakima crossbar, landing pads, towers installation. much better than anything else ive seen out there. Thanx !

Thanks guys. I just installed skyline pads and towers on a 2024 Subaru Outback. Things have changed a little but the part on setting up the towers got me over a hump. Yakima instructions were not helpful and your video was!.

Nice work!

So helpful guys thank you

One thing to add would be how to trim the rubber strip that you removed - DEFINITELY add the 1" as the rubber will compress lengthwise to ensure a tight fit. Similarly the end rubbers strips (oustide of the towers) will need to be trimmed to accomodate the end caps. The Yakima manual is atrocious. :D

That's a nice rear end!

SOOOOOOO HELPFUL! Thank you so much

Joshua Benedictos that is so awesome. Thank you very much.

Towards the end of the video when the jetstream was attached to one tower, it isn’t exactly clear how to do the other side. Do you slide the bar all the way across to the other already in place tower? Or do you just extend the bar out beyond where it will end up on the driver side so you can slide it onto the tower on the passenger side and then keep sliding until it is centered? I’m guessing you have to have the tower attached to the landing pad before attaching it to the jetstream bar. Everything else in the video was great and very helpful. I couldn’t find info that the bars packaging also contains the parts to mount it to the tower so it was good to see that in the video. Also helpful to see how the pads hold the tower and how to put the tower together with the bars.

If you put the same tracks on the inside then you could have very convenient, adjustable tie downs and storage hooks.

Hi, did you order the same rack system as these guys did ? I too have a ARE campershell. The secondhand campershell came with a non yakima rack system so I hope I can use the same bolt holes for the skyline tower track?

How much weight do the bars resist? Does it work on an ikamper 2.0?

Hey thanks for the awesome video! Totally agree with going with a camper shell. Keeps everything locked up and out of the elements. I just picked up a used camper shell for my Tacoma and wanted to do the same thing. Add a rack system for a RTT. The only concern was of the shell cracking under the added weight. Have you guys looked into the Milford loadmax system? Looks like it will take the weight off the shell and distribute it on to the bed. Anyways thanks for the detailed video definitely will rewatch it once I start adding the rack system.

Thank you very much Jeff...we really appreciate that. I’m actually looking into getting an RLD Designs stainless steel canopy. You are right about the fiberglass shells not holding the weight. I’m not very happy with my shell. I’m getting some bowing already. Best of luck.

@@AdventureBuilt did you get your shell custom made to hold more weight. That’s what I did. Just got the Shell and tent installed and haven’t taken it out yet. Wondering if you did that and your shell was still bowing?

best way to install that cover: USE SQUEEGIES! Easier to take the bubbles out without creasing the material.

Great video. So this track system can be installed on any camper shell correct? I have a shell on my first gen tundra but was wondering if there needed to be any kind of internal reinforcement done to fiberglass shell so it could hold up that weight

@AdventureBuilt

No the tracks work on any shell. I would limit the weight on your roof unless you have a reinforcement for extra weight.

So what's the other vehicle in the garage? I can't venture any guesses!

Heat gun to your creases it will help stretch and loosen the creases.

I have an are cx Series with win doors color matched carpeted headliner and a led light strip on my double cab long bed trd off-road in blazing blue pearl

Looks great. Looking to do the same with my Tacoma camper shell. Did you guys have to cut down the Tracks at all? I have a short bed taco, snugtop camper, and when I measure the length of the upper part of the shell it's barely at 54" before it starts to curve down in the front and back. I would likely have to either bend the track or cut it a bit shorter to get it to fit on the straight/flat part of the camper shell. Any thoughts?

Hey guys just became a subscriber, if I can ask, how do you like the pro top, I’m thinking of getting one this weekend, any issues with the rtt on the top of the shell? Any input would greatly help, would love to see any videos specific on the shell!

Thank you very much. Honestly I don’t like the protop for my application. It is bowing in the middle due to the weight I carry. Also the flip up door/window doesn’t seal all the way. looking at different options now.

I have an ARE shell on my 2nd Gen Tacoma and have had the roof top tent on that one with my issues. I got the Z-Series but the latch keeps breaking. I would get the standard shell. The are made well.

Would the film allow u to use a semi soapy solution sorta like window tint procedure? It might make it a bit more forgiving, not sure. Just an idea.

I definitely am not the guy to ask about that. I obviously suck at wrapping. I’ve done some decals with soapy water but don’t know if that would work on a big wrap.

How's the height difference between these and your cab roof rack also hows the wind noise. Looking to do a similar setup, is that the prinsu cab rack?

@AdventureBuilt

They are just barely higher than the prinsu rack.

How is the wind noise? I’m thinking about getting these exact ones, except it would probably be the 50” length instead. I just returned an Amazon super cheap one ($100) for my jeep compass because the wind noise was ridiculous.

If your ever up for it.. now that you have all your accessories on your camper shell, I'd really be interested in a pros and cons video of having a camper shell especially while out wheeling. Does it handle the weight good? Does it creak or is it noisy on the trail? Thanks.

I’ll actually be releasing a video explaining the difference when I put on my RLD Designs stainless steel canopy. Probably a couple months out. I’m not a fan of the fiberglass shells. Mine is fine for now but at some point it will fail.

Use a blow dryer for the areas that need to have the creases removed.

I have the Yakima Sky Rise HD in Medium. It’s not a very heavy next. The bars are much stronger than the camper shell. I ended up switching the fiberglass camper shell out for a stainless steel RLD Designs Canopy. Way batter and stronger.
