    I bought a used Yakima Baseline Roof Rack system recently and was hoping to use it on my 3rd gen.

    The rack's BaseClips came fitted for a 2nd Gen DC Tacoma.
    Front Clips: B36/BC125's
    Rear Clips: B49/BC128's
    According to Yakima's fit guide online, a 3rd gen would use these Front Clips: B37/BC145's but the Rear clips are the same as the 2nd gen.

    Does anyone know if the difference between the two front clip sizes would be negligible enough to use the rack as is? I'm hoping to not drop any more cash on parts if I can avoid it.
    I tried to call Yakima's support but they were closed today for a training or something.

    Get the correct ones it makes a difference in how the pads sit on the roof and channel. You can find them on eBay for $30 to $40. Do it right from the get go.
