Roof Rack Help
I'm looking to add a roof rack to my topper, but am lost in all the lingo associated with roof racks. I have "tracks" on my topper, and what I think are called "footings"? I'm trying to find out what i need to get to crossbars, I don't have a problem buying used on eBay, I just don't know what to get. I'll attach a pic below so you can see whats on the truck right now. The rack will primarily usd for kayaks, maybe bikes in the future. Thanks for help!

You will need a set of Control Towers to go on the footings. Yakima sells a set of 4 for $195. You might be able to find a set on craigslist for fairly cheap. I have 60" crossbars on with a Yakima Loadwarrior and extension on top. I'd like to get a hullraiser for a kayak soon too.

Thank you! I think they are just called control towers. You don't want their Q clip things, those are for mounting to a bare roof. There are a few designs of the control tower that I've noticed, some slide on to the landing feet from front to back while others just sit in the landing feet.
