Thule Roof Bars For C34

[floody]

Just wondering if anyone is running a Thule rack on their C34 Stagea and if so, what bar width are you using? I followed the fit guide on Thule Japan's site which recommended 863 (aero bar) which are 150cm and as it turns out way over length.

I need to order the right width bar in so what do I need? I'm thinking 127cm ones (aero bar 861)?

I'm going to get some tomorrow from a local supplier.

From recent searches I found that we can use the 08 Toyota Rav4 roof racks.

Option 3 - AeroBar Max Load 100 (kg) Price (Includes GST) $270.00 (RRP)

Foot Pack RT 757 Bar Pack GL 861 Lock INCL

It didn't paste well but 861 looks like it'll be perfect.

Is there one's available that can carry more weight than 100kg? Also has anyone used a roof basket? Tossing up whether the racks on their own will be fine to transport wheels (straped ofcause) or would the basket be a better and safer option?

Definitely would run a basket. Spread the load better, easier to tie down etc. its all academic because you're still supporting the lot via the roof rails anyway,

Yeah I have the 757 foot pack, I was just a bit mislead it appears by the recommendation for the 863 bars on the Japanese (english language) site.

I don't know what the 863 bars will fit, maybe M35? Who knows. The listing was for 1997-2001 Stagea.

The 863 bars are way too long for the c34, I bought the 861 bars(120cm) which fitted perfectly.

Was looking at the 869 bars(127cm) but that hanged out a bit too much.

I can double check tomorrow as my bars are in the shed at the moment.

All good, 861 bars are pretty much shorter by the amount the 863s overhang, I'll order some tomorrow.
