Camper Shell Mounting
The corner brackets included with your CapRac ladder rack are designed to securely attach to the roof of your truck's camper shell. Position the rack on the cap and mark the area beneath the mounting brackets - this is where you will drill into your camper shell. Once the brackets are bolted into place, tighten the fasteners on the crossbars to secure the entire rack. Because the brackets are designed to pivot, the tightening process should be painless and everything should fit together quickly and easily.
Thule TracRac Slotted Crossbars
The sturdy aluminum crossbars on all Thule TracRac ladder racks feature integrated slots for mounting and easily adjusting accessories, such as the included load stops. These slots appear on both the top and bottom of the bars for the ultimate in mounting versatility. Like the pieces that mount in the base rails, these accessories also have quick-release knobs that let you loosen and tighten them with a mere twist of a knob so that they can be positioned as needed along the bars.
A built-in trip strip at the front of each crossbar shields the slots from wind, maintaining the aerodynamic quality of the bars and preventing that annoying whistle you often find with slotted bars.
Included Tie-Downs
Included with your CapRac are four tie-down accessories. These load stops are designed to mount in the slots of the crossbars and slide along them for quick, easy adjustment. The bookend-style pieces help to hold ladders and lumber in place on the crossbars. They also have built-in loops for securing tie-down straps.
Sturdy, Rustproof Construction
The CapVan rack system, as well most Thule TracRac accessories, is constructed of durable, lightweight aluminum. Because aluminum is lighter than steel - the material most often used for ladder racks - only a small percentage of your camper shell's capacity is taken up by the rack itself, enabling you to pack on more weight than you could with a steel system.
Even though aluminum is already rustproof in itself, Thule TracRac has taken the extra step of adding a dual powder coat finish to further protect your rack. The electrostatic powder coat (e-coat) clings to the metal surface better than traditional paint finishes for a more durable covering. The second coat is a clear finish that adds extra shine and protection from scuffs and scratches.

I actually put this on my 1986 Volvo wagon/best work truck ever! And it is awesome. A little custom, but I called previously to ask the sales guys if it would work and they answered all my questions and were super helpful! People get the biggest kick out of seeing this rack get put to good use with heavy loads of wood on my Volvo! Super fun and I would recommend highly!!
by: Priscilla 07/05/2023
I only had two of the small screws vibrated out of the holder bit order a rew extra in case that didn't happen again. Was most def user error lol. I love it. It hold two 1w foot Sun dolphin kayaks, all my ladders for work and is amazing. So happy I purchased it. I would definitely recommend and buy again.

This is an excellent quality product if you need to carry heavy ladders, etc. I have to point out that 69" is clownishly long to put on top of a Toyota Tacoma or other smaller truck, but I'm happy to report that you can cleanly cut the size down with a chop saw fitted with an aluminum cutting blade. The end caps come unattached and I was able to cut off one end of each rail cleanly to where the end caps fit nicely. You can't tell that they were cut shorter with the caps installed.
by: Matty D03/09/2022
The racks were easy to install. A second set of hands on the install is recommended. I also added the ratchet strap tie downs which have also worked out great. After a year of use the racks are still looking and functioning as they did on the first day. I have used them to haul lumber, ladders, staging planks and an occasional kayak.
I highly recommend these racks.

So I received this order and it is not compatible to the rail mounts that my ARE topper have. These rails were recommended from ARE when I had the cap made. They said a Thule rack would install with ease with these rails. This rack seemed to be right and your site showed it compatible with my make and model. However it was very difficult getting any specific information and most everyone I talked with or chatted with said they understood my cap as I described it. However i don’t think anyone really did. I have ordered some T bolts that I think might make it possible but I’ll have to modify those as well for all the racks features to work properly. I feel for the price of this rack it should have compatible hardware for different types of roofs. I know this is Thule and not your company but figured you should know. I spoke with Thule and they tried selling me different parts that were outrageous money and when I looked them up they wouldn’t be right either. Not sure why this is so difficult but now I’ve spent more money and several hours modifying things for the right fit. Overall not real happy with this purchase but hopefully it works out.

First of all, I love the rack. It is very good looking and very easy to install. I looked for months to find a rack suitable for mounting my RIVERSMITH 2 BANGER fly rod holder.
I am so pleased. thank you guys so much!!!!
by: Hugh 02/16/2023
Strong racks that can actually hold stuff. Look good too.
by: Peter B07/29/2019
I really like this rack. It was easy to install and has held up well so far. My only complaint, and the reason for only 3 stars, is that some of the components arrived with some slight dents and scratches, pretty clearly NOT from damage during shipping. Not enough to warrant sending the whole rack back, but enough to be annoying, considering I paid full price.
by: Ty C.08/30/2021
Great product, very solid and heavy duty, looks great and above all functions great for hauling anything from ladders, lumber, to paddle boards.

I just installed the CapRak on my cap last night on my 2002 Tundra. It took about 1.5 hours to do by myself. Nice hardware. Everything fits well and the finish quality is very good. I will be using this to transport a couple of 14' long kayaks (using my Thule Hullaports) and a 18' long Sawyer canoe all over Maine and beyond with this set up. They will be very stable up there.
Sometimes I also have to bring some 16' boards to my woodshop and todays truck beds are just not suitable for that kind of haul.
I also bought the 6 foot "cargobuckle" straps to secure the loads, and they look very well made also.
I am going to buy another CapRak from my popup tent trailer soon. good product and well worth the money.

What etrailer does is make it as easy as possible to do it yourself. Between the written instructions and the videos on how to install you are covered. Remember that you do have to have tools and it is not always as easy as it shows on the video. There recommendations are spot on and their individual responses to questions are good. They could improve on several areas. Most people do not have the flexible sewing like tape measure. For putting on roof racks it is essential. Also you will need to lube the bolts for the roof racks or they will seize up while putting on the lock nuts. The packaging for the trailer hitches is sub par. One hitch arrived damaged and the next one also was sticking through the box but mostly undamaged. I imagine it is to keep the shipping costs down. Customer service has also been good. I Ordered a hitch, roof rack and basket and am satisfied.

Great up grade from my old rack. Will be much more secure for tying down ladders. Eyelets on sliding brackets and the brackets themselves are a great feature. Very pleased. Its not a negative but the tubes are a little long for the look I want on my truck. I may try trimming them down. Shipping was 3 days and ordering was a breeze.

See what our Experts say about this Thule Roof Rack
- Replacement Legs and Hardware for Older Thule CapRac 29200For the mounting feet for the older style CapRac 29200 (not the newer CapRac part # TH29200XT) you need the replacement feet part # TH8527646001. If you only have the crossbars then you likely need the hardware as well. The hardware can be found with Bag 1 # THHD80935A and Bag 2 # THHD80936 which I confirmed with my contact at Thule is all you'd need to have the complete CapRac setup.
view full answer... - Recommendef Foot Pack, Fit Kit and Crossbars to Mount in Track System on Leer Truck Bed ShellI have a solution for you but the Thule TracRac CapRac Ladder Rack # TH29200XT is designed to be mounted directly onto your Leer shell and not into the channels on a track. Instead, you would want to use the Thule Rapid Podium Feet # TH460R and the Thule Fit Kit for Podium Style Feet # THKIT3101, which will provide you with the base to mount into your tracks. Since these feet do not come with crossbars, you'll want to use the Thule # TH711520 which are 60" long. If you're looking for a...
view full answer... - Rack Recommendation for 2008 Ford F-250 with Camper Shell for Carrying Long Heavy CanoeFor a long, heavy canoe you would want to go with a ladder rack on top of the camper shell since that will give you a heavier duty set of crossbars than a roof rack that will be wider to better stabilize the longer canoe. For that the TracRac CapRac part # TH29200XT would be your best option. This comes with load stops as well to use for anchors for tie downs and to align the canoe on the rack. For straps we have the # EM05717 which will work well for securing the canoe.
view full answer... - Ladder Rack Recommendation For My 2005 Toyota Tacoma With Leer 122 CanopyI do have a ladder rack that will fit your Leer 122 Canopy. My recommendation will require drilling into the canopy and this ladder rack will be fixed in position. The Thule TracRac CapRac Ladder Rack for Camper Shell/Truck Cap, part # TH29200XT, you attached to your question is my recommendation. It comes with 69" crossbars and tie-downs. I suggest using TremPro 644 Silicone Sealant - 10.1-Fl-Oz Cartridge - White, part # 0160297, to seal the holes where you drill for this ladder rack....
view full answer... - Roof Rack and Load Stop Recommendations for ARE or LEER Cap with Factory TracksThe TracRac brand was bought out by Thule a number of years ago and some of their products underwent some changes under the transition - the CapRac Ladder Rack TA29200 being one of them. Thule made some upgrades and released it as the part # TH29200XT you're seeing now with our current product images and review videos. We definitely have some roof rack options that will fit OEM tracks on an ARE or LEER topper but the CapRac is designed as a stationary rack so it won't fit into a track...
view full answer... - Ladder Rack Recommendation to Fit Camper Shell on 2011 Toyota TacomaI have a great solution for you, but the Rola you mentioned isn't intended for attaching to a camper shell. Instead I'd recommend the TracRac CapRac part # TH29200XT which is designed specifically for the camper shells/toppers like what you have. The mount holes would not match your 2-1/4 inch mount holes though. I attached an install video for this for you to check out as well.

Instead we have the Thule TracRac CapRac Ladder Rack for Camper Shell/Truck Cap # TH29200XT which is designed for your exact situation and would work great. It has a reinforced mounting bracket setup to allow it to be strong enough for use on a camper shell that's made...

- Best Set Up For Hauling Three Heavy Kayaks On The CapRack On My 2018 Chevrolet Silverado 1500Since you have the Thule CapRac # TH29200XT on your 2018 Chevrolet Silverado you only have about 53 inches of crossbar space. Since your kayaks are about 94 inches wide collectively, you will need to a J-Style or post style carrier. Most post style carriers are not strong enough to carry your heavier kayaks and I recommend getting a carrier that will carry two kayaks like this Rhino Rack option # S512-S512X.This will be more cost effective since you won't have to buy three separate racks....
view full answer... - Compatibility of the TracRac CapRac Ladder Rack on a 2013 Toyota Tacoma with Leer Fiberglass CapThe TracRac CapRac Ladder Rack, # TH29200XT, will work well on the Leer cap on your 2013 Toyota Tacoma. The CapRac includes mounting brackets that will attach the rack to the top of your fiberglass shell. There will be some drilling required to install the brackets. The TracRac CapRac crossbars measure 65 inches in length and elliptical design will reduce wind drag and wind noise.

This durable, lightweight aluminum ladder rack mounts directly to your truck's camper shell. The slotted crossbars allow for quick, simple adjustment of tie-downs and accessories with load stops included. The maximum carrying capacity depends on that of your camper shell...
view full answer... - Recommended Roof Rack to Work with Hullavator on Leer Truck Cap We do have a nice selection of ladder racks that are designed to mount to the top of a truck cap like what you have, such as the Thule TracRac # TH29200XT, however we do not have a ladder rack available that installs on the outside of the bed rails to allow it to fit with a cap or cover. In researching the type of ladder rack that you described, it also doesn't appear that they would be compatible with the Thule Hullavator Kayak Carrier # TH898, as they do not feature crossbars that extend...
view full answer... - Weight Capacity of Thule TracRac CapRac Ladder Rack Weight CapacityThe weight capacity of the Thule TracRac CapRac Ladder Rack for Camper Shell/Truck Cap # TH29200XT that you referenced is basically whatever the weight capacity of the camper shell is. As long as you stay under the weight capacity of the camper shell this will be strong enough.

The only option to add a ladder rack to your truck would be to install a ladder rack on top of your camper shell like the Thule TracRac CapRac Ladder Rack for Camper Shell/Truck Cap # TH29200XT. This will require drilling into the camper shell to mount the brackets and the carrying capacity of the ladder...

- Roof Rack and Kayak Carrier Recommendation for 2015 Chevy Silverado 1500 with A.R.E. Camper ShellSince the A.R.E. camper shells have tracks mounted on top of them you can use a Yakima round bar roof rack which will require 4 of the Yakima Control Towers # Y8890027, 2 sets of the Yakima Landing Pad # Y00221, and one set of Yakima Crossbars. For 58 inch bars you can use # Y00409, for 66 in bars use # Y00410, or for 78 inch bars you can use # Y00411. Also keep in mind that the bars can be cut to fit your exact need. The rails on this camper shell are made by Yakima, so this will give...
view full answer... - Roof Rack Recommendation for a Camper Shell on a 2013 Toyota Tundra for Kayak CarrierI think your best option would be to get a TracRac CapRac Ladder Rack for Camper Shell/Truck Cap # TH29200XT for a roof rack system that will install on your camper shell so that you could mount a couple Thule Hull-A-Port Pro Folding J-Style Rooftop Kayak Carriers # TH834 as long as your camper shell has the weight capacity for the weight of your kayaks.
view full answer... - Truck Cap Ladder Rack to Fit a 2014 Ford F-150 STX with a 5-1/2 Foot BedWe do have a ladder rack for your 2014 Ford F-150 that will fit on a truck cap but the Erickson # EM07706 does not. It will work great on your truck but not with the cap. It installs inside the bed rails. However, the TracRac # TH29200XT will work on a truck cap. You'll need to drill into the cap to mount the brackets. Then the slotted, aero crossbars install into the brackets.

Then for an assisted kayak carrier the Thule Hullavator part # TH898 would be your best option. It lowers down on the side of the vehicle to make loading and unloading the kayak very easy.

- Roof Rack Needed for Cap/Camper on a Ford RangerAre you looking for an adjustable ladder rack or one that you install in a specific spot permanently? Either way it actually is a custom fit that the customer gets to pick where they would like everything to sit. Typically you will see the legs of the roof rack near the corners of the truck cap/camper, but it can vary depending on the application. For the 6' bed on your Ford Ranger I recommend the Thule TracRac CapRac Ladder Rack # TH29200XT which includes 65" long crossbars. The weight...

The thing about this though is that the larger platform rack requires 3 crossbars to be safely used so you will need to add another crossbar to your A.R.E. HD CX Series Bed Cap.

Since it installs on your camper there is some drilling required which will make it more of a permanent installation, but it will provide a great rack that has a weight limit that is the same as your camper. A roof rack on your Mega Cab might not be necessary since you are planning on using the Yakima LongArm # Y01149-1150, but if you decide to I recommend...
view full answer... - Recommended Roof Rack for an Older Tear CamperThe best option for a roof rack for a camper is to use the Thule TracRac CapRac Ladder Rack for Camper Shell/Truck Cap, part # TH29200XT. It permanently bolts to your roof and can be placed anywhere. The two crossbars are aero-style, making them compatible with most accessories. The bars are 69" long. One thing to keep in mind when mounting these to a tear camper, though, is to try to get them as even as possible.

As you noted, these roof rack/ladder rack options will require drilling into the shell on your Tacoma to bold the rack to the top of the shell. One options to provide a rack on your Tacoma's shell is the TracRac CapRac Ladder Rack for Camper Shell/Truck Cap # TH29200XT. I recommend this ladder rack because it is made from a durable aluminum construction and includeds 4 heavy-duty aluminum load stops...

Another option is to add the Swagman Roamer LT # S80510 to the camper shell and then add kayak carriers. The Thule Stacker # TH830 is a great option to carry the kayaks. The Stacker is basically two posts that mount to the crossbars on the shell that the kayaks are secured to. It includes tie-down...

Has not leaked and seems to bear loads well. Takes about 10 minutes to remove from roof when going away and need to park in garage. Only issue is slide nuts freeze up. Wd40 seems to free them up.
