Description
The Yakima BaseLine Complete Bare Roof Rack is built to meet the needs of drivers with vehicles that have naked or smooth rooflines. These streamlined roofs require specialized rack systems that securely fit without the need for gutters or raised rails. The BaseLine’s patented design uses adjustable drophook clips, offering bi-axial tuning for both pitch and toe angles. This means the crossbars stay level even on curved roofs, and the tower bases conform precisely to tapered rooflines — ensuring stability and minimizing stress on your vehicle.
This system includes a pair of load bars, four BaseLine Towers, and two pairs of vehicle-specific BaseClips (front and rear), along with a pre-calibrated torque tool to achieve the recommended tightness during installation. The padded contact points protect your vehicle’s finish on the roof and door jambs throughout regular use. While fully lockable with Yakima SKS Lock Cores (sold separately), the BaseLine System provides a reliable foundation for carrying a range of rooftop gear like cargo boxes, bike racks, and kayak mounts.
Installation is straightforward for those familiar with roof rack systems, and the included tools help maintain consistent fit quality. The streamlined BaseLine is ideal for daily and outdoor adventure use, providing a durable, tailor-made fit for vehicles with bareroofs.

"This is the place to buy a truck rack."
"I called to order a system one rack. The salesman was knowledgeable and helpful. There was a slight delay for an out-of-stock item, I was informed immediately. The rack came in about a week and was exactly what I ordered. This is the third rack I bought from Rack Warehouse, always a good experience. Would highly recommend."
