Chevy 4500 Tow Truck Custom Roof Rack

A customer came in with a Chevy 4500 tow truck. We wanted to install the easiest system to use. We also want a base rack system that can handle the weight. We decieded to go with a Thule base rack system. We used Thule Tk14′s, 430 tracker II footpack, 65″ Load bars, and lock cylinders 544. This is a versitile roof rack that we attach directly to sheet metal. This rack can hold 165lbs! Most factory roof racks can hold around 100lbs. This rack happens to be a quick disconnect tower.

594xt Side Arms

In the picture above we installed 3 wheel on bike carriers. The Thule 594xt Side Arm , this is Thules most stable wheel on bike racks. Thules side arm is very easy to get bikes on and off. It really takes you under a minute to load and unload most every bike on the road. The quick disconnect feature on the base rack system is also very easy to use. At the press of a button you can totally remove your base rack from your car, leaving behind the TK14′s (which are attached to the sheet metal.) Here at Rack Attack we are the rack experts. We sell and install Thule,Yakima,Whispbar, and Prorack. We Do stock all items!

2009 Audi A4 Avant with Thule Rapid Aero Roof Rack

The 2009 Audi A4 Avant is one of the most popular new cars in Colorado.  Rack Attack is proud to have one of the first fits for it.  Both Thule and Yakima systems are available for this vehicle and both companies offer a liftime warranty on their products.   We are excited about these systems for this vehicle.  This photo shows a Thule Rapid Aero bar set up with permanently installed base (Thule TK14 Tracker Kit 14 ) behind the roof rail with quick release towers (Thule 430R Rapid Tracker Foot Pack ).  The system is one of the easiest to put on and remove from the vehicle due to the Tracker II towers’ push-botton operated quick realease mechanism.  By mounting just to the inside of the factory installed roof rails, we have made the overall appearance of the rack very sleek and integrated into the look of the vehicle.  One of the managers at Prestige Audi in Lakewood, CO has this exact sytem on his very own A4 Avant.

Wilderness Track Rack for Nissan Pathfinder – The best off road SUV roof rack ever.

First thing’s first. I chose the Wilderness Track Rack over other systems for a few reasons.

1. It has easily the highest weight capacity of anything available for your PF.  300+ lbs. (Trust me – I’ve tested it – remember to distribute the weight evenly)

2. It’s a lot lower on the roof vs. most popular baskets (Yak Load Warrior and Thule MOAB). The total height of the system is only 6.5 inches from the paint up.

3. It’s rated for off-road use.

This basket is for the serious adventurers and families alike.  There are a lot of accessories available for it such as a Jerry Can bracket, Axe/Shovel bracket, High lift jack bracket, and a Spare Tire carrier.  It serves as a perfect platform for gear bags from Thule and Yakima.  Did I mention the weight capacity?  It’s incredibly durable.  The basket and hardware are made from heavy gauge chro-moly steel.  Also, it’s powder coated black for serious durability.  This is the best option for a strong and attractive roof-top carrying system.

These systems are available for a wide variety of vehicles.  Due to the complicated nature of the installation process, we offer these in store only.  Please call us at 303-216-2495 for more information.

Thule Fork Mount Bike Racks

Very Nice

Thule has some of the best bike trays today. This fork mount bike rack is the Thule 518 Echelon and is Thule’s top of the line fork mounted carrier. It carries bicycles with wheelbase up to 48 inches and tire widths up to 2.6 inches, including high profile rims. Over all one of the best fork mount tray out there today.

One of a kind

The Thule 517 Peloton is the premium clamp-style fork mounted bike carrier that holds the fork blades of your bike. Very easy to operate and also will fit around Thule and Yakima crossbars. We recommend that you purchase the Thule LOCK Single Lock Core for added security not only for your bike, but also for your fork mount bike rack.

Thule Upright

Here at Rack Attack, we offer the best product for your needs. At times it may get tedious to remove your tire on your bike and then put up on a bike try. Why not leave the tire on. With the Thule 594 Sidearm you can leave the front tire on. This bike rack allows quik loading and will accommodate most bikes regardless of frame design, suspension, or wheel size. Also, another good poit about this bike rack is that it doesn’t come in contact with your bike frame. It will not scratch it, since it comes in contact with the front and rear tire. Our recommendation is to make sure you purchase with your bike rack is the Thule 512 2-pack Lock Cores. With the lock cores installed you will have security for your bike and the bike tray. Overall, a great product and you will be very satisfied with this upright bike carrier.

Great Quality Rack

Don’t forget about the Yakima HighRoller. Yakima also offers a top of the line upright bike carrier. This bike carrier fits any tire size, from super-skinny road tires to big, bad 3-inchers, without adapters and wheels from 20 to 29 inches in diameter.

Custom Thule Rack on a 2008 Lexus IS 250

One Of A Kind

Some people think you can’t rack a car because it will take away from the sporty look, we disagree. You can still have the sporty look on your vehicle and still have a top of the line roof rack. In the picture we went ahead and custom racked this Lexus IS 250. We set this customer with Thule 430R Rapid Tracker Foot Pack, Thule TK1 Tracker Kit 1, Thule RB43 43 Inch Rapid Load Bars, Thule 871XT Fairing, 2 Thule 517 Peloton, Thule 596 6-pack Lock Cores, and Thule TP42 42 inch Top-Track with Flare-Nuts .

When it comes to custom instalations, we did have to permanently install the tracks to the roof and apply all the other roof rack accessories. The Thule 430R Rapid Tracker Foot Pack conects to the Thule TK1 Tracker Kit 1 and then connected to the track. Here at Rack Attack, we like to give the customer some options when it comes to custom instalations.

Side Profile

Either we can do landing pads or lay tracks down. Tracks are similar to factory rack channels and they also possess the fact of having a multi-sport rack system. You can change the bar spread to different settings for whatever sport you into. Whether its biking or kayaking. You are more than welcome to do so.

As you can see in the photo, we put 2 fork mount bicycle trays. The Thule 517 Peloton fits most disc brake and suspension combinations with standard 9mm axles and carries bicycles with wheelbase up to 48 inches. After the bike trays are in position we put on the Thule 871XT Fairing. The fairing drastically reduces noise and resistance created by your rack. Highly recommended. Then we put in the locks on the rack and the bike trays for complete security. The customer at this point is good to go and have some fun with his new rack set up.

Usually, the install time on custom projects take us about 1hr to 2hrs. We guarantee our work here and we guarantee that you will enjoy it as well.

Yakima Roof Rack with Yakima SkyBox Pro 16 on Chrysler 300

Chrysler 300 – Yakima Roof Rack

With the Chrysler 300, you not only get all-wheel drive, but style and a Hemi. When taking long road trip, you would want to consider the passengers and the space in the vehicle. Not only do you have the trunk space, but now you can have more space on top with more gear. In the picture you can see a Yakima SkyBox Pro 16 , Yakima Control Tower, Yakima Landing Pad 7, and also Yakima 48 inch Cross Bars. With this particular set up we permanently installed the landing pads to the roof of the vehicle. After securing the landing pads on the roof, we installed the control towers directly on the landing pads. The towers are very easy to take on and off your vehicle. With its quick release feature you can put your rack on in a matter of seconds.  The most obvious thing to notice about this picture is the cargo box. Not only can you put ski’s in the cargo box, but other things as well. You can place camping gear, golf bags, baby stroller, and anything to make your traveling more comfortable. The SkyBox Pro 16 is very easy to operate and has many features. The box opens on both side for easy access and very easy to put on your vehicle and take off. The shell of the box is very sturdy and will handle all kinds of weather. One of the best features of this box is its security. The cargo box does lock on both sides to keep all your belongings safe and secure at all times. Not only do you have top of the line products on your vehicle, but you will be comfortable and you will be driving in style.
