ORS Racks Direct enjoyed a great day hanging out with Mr. LeRose, Yakima Racks Eastern Regional Sales Director, going over the new 2010 Yakima Racks product lineup. Looking great indeed, with new products such as the Yakima Frontloader bike rack, Yakima EvenKeel kayak carrier, Yakima SpareTime spare tire mount bike rack and more! Of course we just had to snap a quick pic of his Toyota Tacoma truck rack setup (apologies for the terrible picture quality, combination of blackberry camera and a foggy day!) He is using the Yakima Control Tower roof rack system mounted to permanently installed Yakima Tracks on his Toyota Tacoma cab roof. Connected to the roof rack crossbars is the Yakima Frontloader bike rack and the Yakima Mako Saddles - HullyRoller kayak rack combination. See you soon Dan and thanks for lunch!

Nissan Titan Custom Truck Bed Rail Bike Rack System

Nissan Titan bed rail bike rack system using Thule 42" tracks and Thule 430 Tracker II base system with Thule 517 Peloton bike rack

Here’s a great alternative rack system for truck owners.  Instead of a rooftop system, like the Thule 400XT complete base system, or a truck rack, like the Thule 422XT Xsporter, this Nissan Titan is rocking a pair of Thule 42″ tracks permanently mounted to the bed rails which allows the use of the Thule 430 Tracker II base system.  The great thing about this set up is that the feet and bars can be taken off when not needed with the push of a button.  You can also see a Thule 517 Peloton bike rack attached to the crossbars with plenty of bar space left for a Thule cargo box or other attachment.  The other nice thing about this set up is how it doesn’t interfere with the Tonneau cover.  If you’re thinking of mounting racks to your Tonneau cover, consider this solution first.
