LFD Cross Bars / Roof Box Combo Suggestions - Page 5 - Toyota 4Runner Forum

I have the LFD 3/4 rack and it's worked very well with the Yakima Skybox 16. I've done several long distance trips over the last few years and haven't had any issues.

LFD Cross Bars / Roof Box Combo Suggestions

Try opening up this thumb screw a bit more? When I move the box from the car with flatter aero style crossbars I really have to open these up big time for the LFD bars. You should be able to fine tune it so the clamp snaps back down good and tight.

Also, in another thread on this topic my cheat to fix the wind noise howl with the box on was to take some foam pipe insulation and fill the gap in the underside of the front bar. Whisper quite after that! Otherwise, they resonate like tuning forks.

Thanks for the suggestions @YT-1300 and @tylertenny . I'll give it another try before our next spring ski day. Hopefully I just wasn't opening up that front adjuster enough

@YT-1300 and @tylertenny @DosYotas , I installed the LFD cross beams today to work with my Yakima skybox... I got all the way finished and then also ran into the issue where I can't seem to get the feet adjusters big enough to fit around the cross beams - the yakima feet latch wont let me push it down flush to the rest of the box... I thought I maxed them out and still no luck... what's the trick?

I think you just need to keep loosening the thumb screw I circled above until you're able to snap the clamp back down. Everything else in your pics looks good.
