Porsche 911 Carrera C4S 996 – Custom Roof Rack & Cargo Box

When you need to get to the mountain fast and in style there’s only one vehicle to turn to.  A Porsche.  Our customer came to us with his 2004 Porsche 911 C4S looking for ways to get his skis to the mountain.  Yes, that’s an all-wheel drive Porsche convertible we’re talking about here.  Fortunately, he uses the optional hard top during the winter months.

If you’re familiar with the Porsche 911 nomenclature, this would be of the 996 era.  Meaning a rack such as this would be applicable to 911′s from 1998-2005.

Atop the factory hard top we mounted a Yakima Fixed Point rack system consisting of the following:

Yakima Landing Pad 7

Yakima Control Towers

Yakima 48″ Crossbars

Yakima SKS Locks

Together, these components create an ultra secure base rack system that any rack accessory can easily be attached to.

Based on the customers wishes, maximum ski length, and desired appearance; a Yakima LoPro 15 box was mounted on the Porsche.  This box allows you to carry up to a 225cm ski as well as duffel bags, boots, etc.  It has a sleek low profile and a look that lends itself to the lines of the Porsche quite perfectly.

Mini Cooper with SunRoof – Thule Custom Track Installation – Thule 430 Tracker System – Yakima LowPro Premium Cargo

Here at Rack Attack we take pride in the level of service we can provide due to our extensive product knowledge and installation experience. Our Rack Experts will be able to assist you through your entire rack buying experience.  From explaining each option available for your vehicle, Installation services and or Tips for the “do-it-yourself-er”, as well as maintenance and upkeep tips. At our 4 US locations we offer a wide range of installation services which include custom permanent applications on vehicles where other options would either not exist, or would not provide the most flexibility in terms of accessories, highest weight rating, and the widest spread between the front and back cross-bars.

For today’s Showcase Installation we installed 54 inch Thule Permanent Tracks on a 2006 Mini Cooper with a sunroof. This allowed us to mount a Thule 430 Tracker Foot Pack System with a 50 inch set of Thule Load Bars. Because you can mount the 430 Tracker Foot Pack just about anywhere on the length of the track, using a TK1 adapter kit, this application allows the owner to quickly and easily customize thier bar spread to suit any need. In addition, the fact that once the system is installed, removal and re-installation couldn’t be easier or more convenient.

THIS SYSTEM INCLUDES;

• Thule’s 430 Tracker II Foot Pack (See Below for 430 Video)
• Thule’s 50 inch Load Bars
• Thule’s Tk1 Adapter Kit
• Thule’s TP54 54 Inch Top-Track with Flare-Nuts (CLICK HERE to watch a brief Custom Track Installation Video)
• 4 Pack of Thule Lock Cores

• Yakima’s LoPro Premium 15 cubic square foot Cargo Box

This system will allow the mounting of most every Thule or Yakima accessory, such as Roof Top Bike carriers, Ski carriers, Water-sport carriers, as well as cargo bags, baskets and Cargo Boxes, as well as being removable/installed in seconds as shown below.
