Roof rack question

[Skidog]

Anyone know what uprights are needed or if this is even a thule mount?

Leer cap. Rails. These are mounted into the rails. Would love to be able to use them if I can just get the right uprights.

I'm not familiar with Thule stuff, but those look alot like yakima control towers.

IIRC it is the Yak "Landing Pad 1"

"control towers" are what you need to clip in to those...

edit: also, can't quite tell from the pics but if those are as old and UV'd-out as they seem, I'd consider new landing pads... if they are cracked and brittle you might lose a load (not in a good way)...

Thanks for the advice. The trucks a 2006 so I can't imagine they are much older than that. I will check for any signs of cracking but they look pretty solid. Think i found some 58" bars and control towers.

all the above advice is correct. you need yakima control towers.

Is there only one type of "control towers"? It seems I may have found some locally for a good deal.

yes, as long as they are the control towers, there has only been one version ever.
