Because
we think that Yakima are the best roof racks on the market,
we feature them, and can provide you any of their products.
Why they are the best ? Yakima promotes the advantages of
round cross bars. RoundBars allow for alignment of accessories
on sloping roofs, permits turning accessories down when not
in use for better aerodynamics, and are 15% stronger than
competing carriers.
We
stock the basic roof racks for almost any kind of car or truck,
and the accessories for transporting kayaks and canoes. For
difficult situations, we can install side loaders (gutters),
to permit the installation of a "Raingutter tower".
Please keep in your mind that we are not just a store, we
have a workshop and with Ralph's blacksmithing skills, we
can find a solution for any problem you have.
If
you want to find the proper fit for your car, you can click
here to visit the Yakima's
website and go to "Choose my rack" in the main menu.
Make sure you know the manufacturer, model and the year your
car was made. Or let the staff at the Chicagoland Canoe Base
assist you in making a proper choice.
THE
BASE RACK SYSTEM...
Is
the starting point for carrying your gear and toys on the
top of your vehicle. A Base Rack System consist of towers
and crossbars, which attach to your naked roofline or factory
installed luggage racks.
The
Bars.
Because
the bars are the same for any rack, we will start with them.
The bars come in four different lengths: 48", 58",
66" and 78". In the Yakima's rack descriptions,
they recommend the MINIMUM length crossbar, but we suggest
no shorter than 58" and you can install longer bars if
carrying more than one watercraft, etc.
The
prices are: 48" and 58" = $57
66" and 78" = $62 |
