Photo of a 2008 Toyota Highlander bike roof rack and cargo-luggage rack setup using the Yakima RailGrab Towers complete kit, Yakima SkyBox 21 luggage box and Thule 594XT SideArm bike racks.

A very nice demonstration of how to get those bicycles and cargo-luggage gear out of the car and up on the car roof top! This 2008 Toyota Highlander roof rack with cargo box and two bike racks is accomplishing this task using the Yakima RailGrab roof rack kit mounted to the 2008 Toyota Highlander factory side rails, while a Yakima SkyBox 21 roof box and 2 Thule 594XT SideArm bike racks are attached to the RailGrab base rack system crossbars.

You never know when you might run into snow on your way to your favorite bike trails.  This Toyota Highlander Hybrid is prepared if that may be the case.  Mounted to the Toyota Highlander factory side rails is the Thule 450 Crossroads racks system with not one but two premium Thule bike racks.  On the right is the Thule 599XTR Big Mouth upright bike rack and on the left is the Thule 518 Echelon fork mounted bike rack.  In the event of inclement weather, this Toyota Highlander has a pair of Thule XG-12 tire chains.

This is the boss’s wife’s ride, making the most out of the carrying capacity of the Toyota Highlander’s factory roof racks.  On the left is a SportRack ABR511 J-style kayak carrier, in the center is a Rocky Mounts Noose SL bike rack, and on the right is a Thule 835 Hullaport Pro J-style folding kayak cradle.  All of these items mount directly to factory roof racks right out of the box.
