Yakima TimberLine Towers – The Ultimate Choice for Raised Side Rails (SKU: #8000164)
Rugged Versatility for Your Next Adventure
The Yakima TimberLine Towers are engineered specifically for vehicles equipped with raised factory side rails. If your vehicle has a gap between the rail and the roof, the TimberLine system provides a rock-solid, incredibly secure foundation for all your hauling needs. Whether you are transporting a heavy Old Town Sportsman fishing kayak, a fleet of paddleboards, or a high-capacity cargo box, these towers deliver the structural integrity and reliability Yakima is known for.
Designed with a sleek, aerodynamic profile, the TimberLine Towers wrap securely around your side rails using high-strength stainless steel straps. This “over-molded” strap design ensures a custom-like fit for a wide range of rail shapes and sizes, from thin circular rails to thick, oval-shaped factory profiles. The result is a clean, integrated look that enhances your vehicle’s utility without compromising its style.
Advanced Engineering & Ease of Use
Yakima has packed the SKU: #8000164 with intuitive features that make installation fast and operation worry-free. One of the standout features is the BarBed™ technology, which allows for pitch adjustment. Because rooflines are rarely perfectly flat, this system lets you level your crossbars even if your side rails are curved. This is critical for ensuring that accessories like bike racks or kayak carriers stay perfectly upright and aerodynamic.
Torque-Limited Installation: You never have to guess if the rack is tight enough. Each set includes a pre-calibrated torque tool that clicks once the optimum tightness is reached, protecting your rails from damage while ensuring a safe, secure hold.
High-Strength Straps: The heart of the system is the stainless steel attachment strap. These straps are coated in a durable elastomer to protect your vehicle’s finish while providing a grip that won’t slip, even under heavy loads or high-speed mountain winds.
Weather-Resistant Construction: Built from glass-reinforced nylon and stainless steel, these towers are designed to thrive in harsh environments, from salty coastal air to freezing mountain winters.

Modular Capability & Security

For added security, the towers are designed to accept Yakima SKS (Same Key System) Lock Cores. These locks fit discreetly behind the tower covers, protecting your rack from theft. With SKS, you can use a single key to unlock your towers, cargo boxes, and bike racks, streamlining your gear management.
