Multi-use racks for 2009 Toyota Sienna

noreply@blogger.com (LC) — Fri, 02 Nov 2012 11:51:00 +0000

Customer Fit Question:
My question is this. We have a 2009 Toyota Sienna that I am installing a 2" hitch onto. The car does have a roof rack that we will be using a bag on as well.

In terms of what I would like to carry. ideally I would like to have four bikes. As far as the cargo goes, I guess just as much as possible after that. I am going to have at least two sets of golf clubs and a cooler. Possibly some baggage too. Thanks!

Racks for All Recommendation:

We would recommend a traditional hitch rack for the hitch receiver and a cargo box for the factory roof rack to carry the clubs, etc.

The Yakima RocketBox 14 cargo box can be shipped UPS and is the right size for you.

Here is a great 4 bike hitch rack - the Yakima SwingDaddy - we're having a big sale on right now. The swing out feature should help quite a bit with the back of the minivan.

A less capable but still excellent 4 bike rack (also on sale) is the Yakima Doubledown 4.

Hydraulic Kayak Rack for Truck - Wooden Kayak

noreply@blogger.com (LC) — Wed, 05 Sep 2012 09:19:00 +0000

Customer Question:

I would like help finding a double kayak rack that has a hydraulic pull down on each side of car top, which pulls down approx. 2.5 ft from the ground.

My kayaks are wood strip and 18 ft. long weighing approx. 40 lbs. each. I need details on installation on a truck and the model number.

Racks for All Recommendation:

The wooden kayaks sound great!

The Hullavator product from Thule fits the bill and has a hydraulic lift. See the instructions for operational info.

Also, these two products from Malone Auto Racks:

http://www.racksforall.com/Malone-Auto-Racks-MPG351.aspx
http://www.racksforall.com/Malone-Auto-Racks-MPG106MD.aspx

have the requested features.

You will need a base rack on your truck upon which to mount these racks. The Malone racks will fit a factory rack or we can build a base rack for you.

The Thule Hullavator will work with a Thule or Yakima base rack only.

If you would like a base rack quote, please provide truck make, model, and year, and let us know if there are any rails or crossbars on the roof right now.

Basket Rack for 2001GMC Yukon XL SLT 4x4

noreply@blogger.com (LC) — Sat, 21 Jul 2012 19:42:00 +0000

Rack Fit Question:

I have a 2001 GMC Yukon XL SLT 4x4 that I wanted to add a roof top basket to. I was looking at your Surco Safari models and wanted to know if only the S5084 will fit or if I can install the S5060 instead? Also what mounting hardware do I need for each rack for my factory original rails and crossbar?

Racks for All Recommendation:

Yes, you can certainly use a smaller basket that the S5084. If you use the Surco S5060 Safari Rack, then you will need QTY 1 of the Surco 1101 Clamp Adapters to grab your factory rails.
