Hello,
Here is a list of parts you need for a bike rack:
Thule Aero Foot Pack 400 or 400xt
Thule Fit Kit #2196
Thule 50" load Bars
Thule 871xt or 871 38" Fairing
and the appropriate bike mount attachment.
If you need it for a Kayak, Cargo Basket, or Cargo Box you will also need the:
Thule 477 Short roof adapter.
I am building the Roof rack to accommodate a cargo basket.

I found all the parts used on ebay and craiglist, brand new the set up cost $300-400+ for just the first three items on this list, I have spent less than $200 If you need help piecing one together, i can help you out.

Evidently some interest out there but nothing happened so I haven't checked the site in awhile. The red Yaris looks good with the carrier on it! So did someone install it for you or did you have the nerve to drill your own holes in the roof!?

Just a quick question, with the 400 or 400xt, would I need to drill the roof or do those mount some other way? I'd like to get a roof rack to for some extra cargo space for when I go fishing but I don't want to drill into my roof. I couldn't find anything on the Yakima site but Thule seems to have what I want (assuming that those mounts you mentioned don't require any drilling). Thanks in advance for any help!!
