Which Thule or Yakima rack towers for FJ62 (1 Viewer)

[GarrettS]

I use 2 Yakima round bars on my rig and have been happy with it. Mostly just roof box and kayaks on top.

Ya, I ended up getting a pair of 1a towers from a MUD member... looking to get a second pair because I like having unnecessary %^#& on my roof (and I like the look)... guessing I'll need 58" bars at a minimum, still looking to find some "gently" used or I may just buy em new @ $125/pair...

TLDR - Someone sell me your 1a towers on the cheap. I'm in Atlanta.

So I took a chance and bought a set of pre owned Thule mounting towers model # 300/1050 and they will work on a 60 series. I found the bars used as well. I set everything up today and they mounted up perfectly on my rig. I wanted to share the information in case anyone else is looking for some mounting towers/ rails but unsure of the model numbers.

Are those the “low” 5” towers or the 8”?

Yakima round bars and a make shift rack I made.

My pieced together FB Marketplace setup is 3 sets of Yakima 1A towers (std height) and 58” roundbars with 50” fairing. Wanted a little longer bars but they’re what I could find cheap and local.

Yakima 1A gutter clamps and crossbars either L 66" or XL 78" will work well. You only need a pair of crossbars, adding more is unnecessary overkill. I've used the Yakima racks for decades and just under a gajillion miles on 40, 60s, and 80. The 66" crossbar will hold one canoe, the 78" two.

That's my current set up- Works great. You can find the A1 towers on ebay for a good price now that retailers have restocked since the pandemic..
