    Don't have any pics right now, ill try to get some later, they are pretty old racks (probably at least 20 years) so idk if they have the "clips", ill check when I'm back to my car.

    Just know that if you use aluminum aerobars you might have to open up the mounting slot on the bottom that the foot slides into if you go much wider than 60". I could just get the 60's on my wife's 4runner without lengthening the slot. Perhaps the longer bars will have a longer opening to still fit a narrower vehicle?

    My Xporter is cut down to 64" width for reference... It came stock w 72" bars and they just looked a little goofy IMO... like they were made for a full size truck. At 64" I can get two kayaks side by side or one in the middle and then two on the sides with j hooks. I throw two more in the bed with a BoondoX Tbone bed extender.

    Just added toolbox and roof-rack to haul my fishing boat 100's of miles into the backwoods every week. Goodrich K02s, Bilstein 5100 front and back, no lift.
    I use pretty much the same thing for my 10 foot aluminum fishing boat. I do 30 pretty rough offroad trips each spring/summer/fall, normally 150 miles of horrible washboard roads, and then lots of 4x4 trails to get to my lakes. The Thule racks I have specify "not for off road use", but I have just braced the undersides of the uprights with 2x4's that rest on the truck bed. Works great, and if needed lets me carry in excess now of the 300 pounds they spec for the Thules. The racks have taken a beating on a lot of trips, and no issues.
