Can a cross bar be installed on these poles

I've added cross bars that we use as handrails using chain link fence parts. Big D

No the position of the cross bars is not adjustable. There is only one preset installation point per cross bar.

Small bracket on both right & left side attach to door jams. They screw down and create a clamping force. Yes you can attach a ski box to the cross bars. However the cross bars are not tubes ( so you can't use stanard "u" bolts. ) so you will need custom brackets ( 4 - 2 front & 2 back) long enough to span the cross section of the bar which is approx. 3 inches. These parts are available at most hardware stores.

I would not believe that they are as the side rails on the forester are not movable and the outbacks are. The answer to this question would also seem to indicate that this is true I am not sure that you need the cross bars.

No, if you look at the existing bars you will see four pre-drilled and threaded holes. The two cross bars come with metric bolts that attach to the existing bars. The downside to this design is that the cross bars are not adjustable for various items you may want to mount. Hope this helps.John

Yes. You will need cross bars to mount the wings. They are wonderful! It has been much easier for us to load and tie our kayaks down on our Subaru Outback with these wings!Joyce

The mounting brackets are two u-bolts that are aprox. 2 1/2 x 2 1/2. these would possibly work best on square cross bars . My cross bars are 3/4 inch square, the rack comes with 2 different sizes of u- bolts. If these do not fit your bars you could probably find something a t the hardware store.

The cross bars slide in the rails from the back (search youtube) for installs - they are completely adjustable & easy to move

Only permanent screws (preferably upgraded over what comes with the package). The unique design of these gates does away with any permanent cross bar that has to be stepped over. That is a plus. The down side is that there is no way to put a tension bar across the opening or it would defeat the design.

Yes, you do! The crossbar connect into the roof rails so you need to purchase and install those first.

I would think so... I have them and they seem standard cross bars. I can put 2 ladders on them with no problem.

I don't think so. Seemed very poorly made I sent it back. The center bar has plastic covers over it it's not even welded. I bought a one-piece push guard that was all welded any bolts to the frame and the crossmember much more sturdier

Hi Sandor. Yes, they do. I have mine on a Jetta Sportwagen which has factory rails that aren't parallel. I can put the cross bar anywhere along the rails. The way it works is you loosen a bolt that clamp the foot to the cross bar. That allows the distance between the feet to change. It's really easy to use and take on and off. I've had other systems before and this is by far the best quality and easiest to use of the group.

I would not hang more than the light itself from those crossbars, sometimes they slide a bit while I raise my light. The tent itself is pretty bare bones but it gets the job done, you may be able to find extra crossbars but again, I would not trust them.

Technically yes.... The middle extension is male on one end and female on the other so adding a section should work Fine. My concern would be its rigidness once together which I think would be fine but you would have to be strategic with where you place your existing cross bars that you mount the rack to, so to maximize support and rigidness. I highly recommend this rack! Great product for the money!

Yes, but you will have to purchase the cross bars separately. These easily mount in the channels and the cross members are easy to install as well. I made the mistake of buying the cross bars first thinking they came with the c-channels.

If your cross bars are less than 3 to 3.5 inches wide it will fit without modification. If they are wider than 3.5 inches you will have to make new brackets to attach to the cross bar. I used 1 inch wide flat bar steel and 2 inch long bolts to mount it to my coross bars. Total cost was about $30.00 and took about 3 hours to fabricate.
