I have other Yakima products, so decided to stick with their products with this purchase. Towers are as advertised, heavy duty and good quality. I would suggest following install directions as written by installing cross bars on towers before attaching to vehicle. If you mount towers first, then install cross bars it is very difficult to tighten the cross bar hold down bolts. Do not tighten cross bars all the way until you everything positioned properly on your roof, tighten towers first then cross bars. There is a lot of adjustment of the cross bars needed once it is on top of your roof to get them even.
