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 install we added on to a customer’s previously installed Thule Fiberglass Track System, by adding a Track system onto the cab of his Chevy Colorado, which allows him to now carry longer loads. This system which is a combination between a Thule 430 Tracker II foot pack system and a Thule 42 inch TopTrack with plusnuts that are designed specifically designed to be used on the sheet metal roof of most vehicles.

The best, and most flexible solution, in terms of accessory application, bar spread, and convenience in installation and removal, is a permanently installed set of Thule or Yakima Tracks that will allow the mounting of  a 430 Tracker II foot pack system. For this application the customer opted to go with the Yakima 42 inch tracks, which is designed Specifically for Sheet Metal Roofs. Which in turn allows 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, and it is removable in seconds.

THIS SYSTEM INCLUDES;

• Thule’s 430 Tracker II Foot Pack
• Thule’s 50 Inch Load Bars
• Thule’s Tk1 Adapter Kit
• Thule’s TP42 42 Inch Top-Track with Flare-Nuts (CLICK HERE to watch a brief Custom Track Installation Video)

Here at Rack Attack we take pride in the level of service we can provide due to our extensive product knowledge and installation experience.

For today’s showcase install, the owner of this Chevy Colorado was interested in a system that would allow him to mount a kayak without solely utilizing the two bar system designed to mount over the cab. He was interested in using the area over his truck’s bed, and we were more than happy to go over all the system options, as well as all of the accessory combinations available. After we went over with him all of the approved fit systems for his vehicle, we decided that a combination system, including a Yakima Q Tower half set as well as Yakima Outdoorsman Compact would allow him to best utilize the space available, while still allowing for the convenience of loading and unloading that having a bar mounted at the rear of the truck bed allows for. See below for a complete list of the products required to mount this system.
