Our Review: Subaru Forester Roof Bars – Strong, Stylish, Simple to Install

We’ve been testing these Aluminum Roof Rails for the Subaru Forester (2014-2026 models) for several weeks now, and we’re thoroughly impressed. With a robust 300-pound weight capacity, these cross bars have easily handled everything from our mountain bikes to weekend camping gear. The lockable feature gives us peace of mind when parking in public areas, and we appreciate that they’re designed specifically for non-Wilderness models.

Installation took us less than 30 minutes with no special tools required. The aluminum construction strikes a perfect balance between durability and aesthetics – they look sleek without adding significant wind noise during highway driving.

What really stands out is the versatility. Whether we’re transporting kayaks, luggage carriers, or snowboards, these crossbars provide a stable, secure mounting point that instills confidence even on bumpy forest roads.

Our Hands-On Review of Yakima TrackTower: Easy Rooftop Storage Solution

We recently got our hands on the Yakima TrackTower Cargo Roof Rack Tower 4-pack and put it through its paces during our weekend adventures. The installation process was refreshingly straightforward – we had the entire system mounted to our vehicle’s track system in under 30 minutes. What impressed us most was the robust construction; these towers feel incredibly solid once locked into position.

The TrackTowers paired seamlessly with our existing Yakima crossbars, creating a versatile platform for all our cargo needs. We particularly appreciated the tool-free adjustment feature, which made fine-tuning the setup a breeze. The built-in SKS locks also gave us peace of mind when leaving our gear unattended during rest stops.

For anyone looking to maximize vehicle storage without compromising on security or aesthetics, we found these TrackTowers to be an excellent investment.
