Yakima HD Bar: Heavy Duty Crossbar

Yakima HD Bar: Heavy Duty Crossbar

Description

The Yakima HD Bar is Yakima's burliest crossbar ever. It is designed for heavy loads, rugged terrain, and maximum utility. Whether you need to transport rooftop tents or other heavy items, this crossbar is built to handle the job. Made from lightweight aluminum construction, it provides superior support without weighing you down. The durable black powder-coat finish ensures that it will last for a long time.

One of the standout features of the HD Bar is the integrated tie-down points on the endcaps. These points make it easy to secure your gear while simplifying load security. No need to worry about your cargo shifting during transit. The crossbar also includes T-slots on the top and bottom, allowing you to add Yakima and compatible gear mounts quickly and effortlessly. Say goodbye to complicated assembly.

Yakima hasn't overlooked protection and noise reduction either. The HD Bar comes with rubber infill for the top T-slot, ensuring that your load is protected from scratches and that wind noise is reduced during your travels.

For those looking for a complete kit, the HD Bar is compatible with all StreamLine Towers with Yakima HD Bar SL Adapter (sold separately). It is available in a range of lengths - 55', 60', 68', and 78' - so you can create a custom setup that fits your needs perfectly.

Now, let's address some frequently asked questions:

Is it $249 for a pair or just one?
It's for the pair. You get two HD Bars for the price.

Will it fit my existing roof rack? You can check compatibility at yakimatech.com. Make sure to verify if it will work with your specific roof rack.

What size would fit for chevy colorado short bed? medium or large? Would they stick out too far if I go with large?
Based on personal experience, I have used the large size on my F150 short bed, and they fit fine. They should work well with the Chevy Colorado as well. To be sure, measure the width of your truck to ensure the crossbars will fit properly.
