    Has anyone ordered from Tnutz recently? I placed an order nearly a week ago and have not gotten any update on my order and they are not answering my calls. Any clue what’s going on?

    In this pic, does the flat bar the 2 bolts are going thru slide into the Thule track and act as the ‘nuts’?
    Thanks.

    Where did you source your cross bars? One from tnutz alone was $20 which isn't bad, but $40 shipping kills it

    I got my cross bars from Tnuts. Even with the shipping they were less expensive than getting then locally.

    Exactly. Just cut to length, drilled holes to match where i made them in the "feet" then gently hammered in the carriage bolts so they sit flush and dont spin.

    Do you remember the size of that strap you used for the ‘nuts’? Or the best way to measure for it?
    Thanks!

    I think it was 3/4" x 1/8" aluminum bar stock. But I measured inside the end of the track with a caliper.

    Dam mine is looking like it’s going to run $400 wtf. Lol the side plate aluminum ended up at like $95.

    How tall is your side plate? I ordered 3” but I’m wondering if it’s too tall.

    I just tried to buy 7 47" bars. Shipping is $44. That's just ridiculous. Is there another place to buy these from besides T-nuts?
