First go the landing pads that integrate with the T-slot channels of the tonneau cover. What worked for me were Yakima landing pad 1 (set of 4). That allows you to mount the Yakima Skyline towers (set of 4). Now you’re ready for the cross bars. I went with Yakima Jetstream crossbars because they look clean and can support the weight of 4 mountain bikes, I don’t need more than that. The biggest draw back of this option is that you will need the one bike mount per bike that will mount up on the cross bars. I went with the Yakima Highroad as I don’t need to remove any wheel of the bike and load up is super simple, but they’re pricey!! $260 EACH! The great part of already having the crossbars, as you know, is that they’re compatible with many different kinds of mounts for all your gear. From snowboard and ski box to kayaks, the crossbars are clutch to have and easily removable in less than 30 seconds. And they’re lockable if you order Yakima SKS key cores. If you want the Yakima mid weight option it would be the HD bars which are rated higher in carrying capacity. However, if you want to load kayaks on your raptor, just ask [USER=43801]@John M[/USER] how he does it. I do load fishing kayaks on my truck, but I do not use the cross bars. The two yaks I carry are 12 feet each and will not fit unless the tailgate is down (I’ve also used the tailgate pad from option 1 with a closed tailgate). If this is what you wanted to carry, I recommend the Yakima Overhaul HD which is adjustable. The benefit here is that you can increase the height of the rack to keep it level with the roof of the cabin so that the yaks can sit flush over the roof of the truck. If you want to see what the rack looks like check out @chance.the.raptr on Instagram.
