How to Use Longer Yakima or Thule Crossbars for a 2009 Dodge Journey
Question:
I need min 66inch long bars to carry my 2 canoes. I have existing racks with 72inch bars from both Thule and Yakima but both fit cars I dont have anymore. I notice the widest bars you show are 58inch which is not wide enough. Do you have towers to fit my 2009 Dodge Journey with factory rack and cross-bars? I could reuse my bars then, or buy new bars if you have them of sufficient length. Thanks

If you have longer bars from Yakima, like the 70" JetStream part # Y00427OR the 70" CoreBar # Y00423, then all you need for your 2009 Dodge Journey are the TimberLine Towers # Y33TR. If you happen to have Yakima round bars then you need the adapter # Y03536 as well.
For your Thule bars you will need to use the Evo Raised Rail Feet # TH710401 with the 69" ProBar Evo Crossbars # TH713600 as the aero-style Thule bars have a limited mounting space underneath them and I don't think it will fit for your Journey since Thule recommends 53" long crossbars.
To add locks to the Yakima feet you need part # Y07204 and to add locks to the Thule feet you need part # TH450400.
