I'm Abigail Scott, an author, adventurer, and mother of three. When I'm not navigating the beautiful chaos of motherhood, you can find me tackling the turbulent waters as a professional whitewater kayaker or scaling impressive rock faces as a climbing guide. The rush of adrenaline, whether from kayaking or climbing, is a feeling I cherish deeply. But the thrill doesn't stop there; I capture the breathtaking allure of nature through my lens as a professional photographer. And when I'm not submerged in the wild, my software engineering skills amplify my outdoor pursuits, allowing me to harness technology in unique ways. Through my writings, whether articles or blog posts, I share not just my adventures but my heart, hoping to spark a flame of inspiration in others to break boundaries and experience the world's wonders.

YAKIMA Timberline Kit Base Rack System

YAKIMA Timberline Kit Base Rack System

Description

The Yakima Timberline Kit is a popular combo of Timberline Towers and CoreBars that works on any vehicle with raised side rails on the roof. This kit includes a 4 pack of Timberline towers, 2 CoreBars (50 for Small Kit or 60 for Medium Kit), attachment hardware, and endcaps. The Streamline System is a base system used for mounting crossbars to a vehicles roof. This revolutionary tower has features that separate it from the competition, including BarBed technology. The system can hold up to 220 lbs. and is lockable with SKS locks (not included). The Stream Line System components are easy to use, versatile, and built for the modern day consumer and vehicles.

Specifications:

  • Complete base rack system for vehicles with raised roof rails
  • Combines timberline towers with 50 inch CoreBar
  • No clips required

What is the difference between small and medium sizes? The Small Bar is 50" long. The Medium is 60".

Are these easy to remove? I will be removing after use with Kayaks It takes a while to hand crank it to put it on or take it off. I keep mine one for the whole season and plan on only removing it for the winter. It’ll probably be a hassle to take off your roof after each time and then putting it back on for each use.

Do you have to have an existing side rail for this to fit on my car? The timberline kit is only designed to fit your existing rails. The best way to find a compatible rack for your vehicle is to use the manufacturers website and enter in your make and model. The website will then show you the best rack. When you decide what you want then shop amazon for the cheaper price and free shipping

Does this fit a 2013 Ford Flex? It should if you have existing side rails on your vehicle. Check on the Yakima site to see what set up best fits your vehicle.
