Yep! We haven't done it ourselves, but we have a ton of customers using Yakima and Thule products with our crossbars.

Would be curios to see how they mounted it.
Also, what's the difference between XLFOR002, XLFOR002-SS, XLFOR002-SS-PC?
They seem to have all the same description... confusing

I have a very old set of the yakima fat cats. I'll probably take a Dremel to the existing mounting brackets so they fit inside the base of the yakima but have a flat-ish section to mount directly to the LFDOffroad bar.
I'll let you know if that works.
The newer EVO version seems to mount via a strap that will probably fit around the LFD crossbars.

For example, I know of one "slidey" part that will get a special sale, and we're working on more special packages and offerings as well.
And, a new product announcement! We've had our air compressors installed for more than a year in our vehicles with brackets we've made, but have never gotten around to actually listing it for sale. The compressor mount is made of 11 gauge 304 grade stainless steel, and is run through our horizontal finishing machine prior to bending to deburr edges and give a nicer finish to the metal. It will come with all needed hardware for installation (but not an air compressor, you have to get that separately.)
It's a two part piece, a support arm and the main base. We designed it to work with the ARB compressors but you can always drill new holes for a different compressor if needed. The nice thing about stainless steel is you don't have to worry about rust if you do modify the part to attach something else, there is no paint to damage or exposed carbon steel that can turn to rust later. I installed this one in my 4Runner today in less than 10 minutes, and that included removing my old prototype unit from last year.
We've got some in stock at the moment, with more in process.
This isn't the last new product announcement for the month either, so stay tuned ;)

Ugh... I wish... Daily Driver Problems. We put on average 35,000 to 40,000 miles a year. Can't go up in size without taking a huge chunk out of our budget. I am thinking about spacers to get a wider look. *shrug*

I completely understand. You should try having the parts in your garage for a week and not touching them.
I am so ready to shoot this video and get this installed.

Look at 255/75s next time you need new tires. Gives about another inch in diameter so the tires don't look quite as small, but MPG seems to be just as good.

255/80s are the next step in my future... go big or go home... or something like that... We are at ~30-33k miles a year as well
