The rush of adrenaline, whether from kayaking or climbing, is a feeling I cherish deeply. But the thrill doesn't stop there; I capture the breathtaking allure of nature through my lens as a professional photographer. And when I'm not submerged in the wild, my software engineering skills amplify my outdoor pursuits, allowing me to harness technology in unique ways. Through my writings, whether articles or blog posts, I share not just my adventures but my heart, hoping to spark a flame of inspiration in others to break boundaries and experience the world's wonders.

Yes, this will attach directly to your side rails on your 4Runner using the Yakima TimberLine towers.

I’m not sure what the question is but maybe I can help. I have a Yakima HD with crossbars and a lockNload platform. I love the setup. I have an awning, tie-down eye hooks, and pioneer tool mounts on it. Yakima sells Rotopax and recovery track mounts which are next on my list. It’s a great setup

I have it attached to my side rails on my 4runner but had to purchase the Timberline towers and SL adapters to configure it properly. In other words, yes but you need other attachments. If your Honda has the crossbars, you would need to only purchase the crossbar clamps. In regards to the tent, I went with a Yakima version since it involves no tools to attach to the lock n load platform. I definitely cannot say in regards to other name brand tents that require to be bolted on to the rack.

Hi there! We reached out to Yakima for proper fit information: All LockNLoad platforms can be used on the top level of the EasyRider trailer, but size J is the best. It fills the upper level nicely and will not have issues interfering with the towing vehicle during sharp turns. On the lower level, sizes E and K are recommended. We don’t recommend using larger platforms on the lower level due to the fixed crossbar position biasing the platform too far forward or backward on the trailer, possibly causing issues with clearance during cornering and would also interfere with Tent Kit installation. Three (3) pairs of LockNLoad Crossbar Clamps per bar are recommended to get maximum clamping force to the trailer bars and frame.
