Diameter of Crossbar of LongArm Truck Bed Load Extender, Item # Y01149

Question:

Can you tell me the diameter of the horizontal bar on the Yakima LongArm hitch rack. Im looking to see if I can mount my existing Thule Hully Rollers to this bar. Thanks for your help.

The diameter of the crossbar on the LongArm Truck Bed Load Extender, Item # Y01149 is 2 inches. This is more designed for carrying kayaks like how I attached a picture of and not with a roof rack carrier.

For what you are looking for the Rhino-Rack T-Load part # RTL002 would be a better option.

I believe the photo you are referring to is the Yakima LongArm # Y01149 with the BowDown # Y04042 installed on it. While it looks like this will work, it's important to remember that you want your kayaks to sit fairly level in your truck bed so if this keep that from happening you would be better to just place the kayaks on the LongArm crossbar with a pad like part # Y07417.
