Just over a week till my long trip to Tennesse. I'm getting at Thule 870 fairing from a guy this weekend. I need the horizontal mighty mounts to mount the fairing though. I notice that a lot of people have them on, but no one specifies a part number or size. Yakima has like 14H, 25H, 28H...yada yada yada. Does anyone know which one fits our factory bars? Yakima does not know. I called. She said, "a Vehi-what?" I said thanks for the help and goodbye. Hahaha. Can someone please find out what model might mounts are used for their fairings and post a part number or "25H" or something for me? I need to get these ordered by the weekend.

I know I've seen them listed here with the part number, maybe keep searching?

I have been pretty intensely but I can't find any threads with em so far. Maybe I am dumb, but I can't find out which ones...

I found this:


In an attempt to get rid of that muscle lady picture on the Recent Photos section of the home page (yech!), here are some snaps of my 38” Thule Fairing (the 32” just wasn’t doing it for me), mounted with four Yakima Mighty Mounts (horizontals) #3601, by altering the supplied fairing mounts. I also covered the fairing’s shiny center section with matte automotive vinyl to subdue the advertising.

Thanks to Ken Anderson (Kenny), Bart (nfpgasmask) (great write-up ,BTW), and etlsport for the mod suggestions and recommendations.

I’m hoping to be able to retain the fairing set-up when I acquire the Thule expedition 696. I hope to mount the rack with another set of four Mighty Mount horizontals, belaying the t-bolt in the rubber-filled top gap of the cross bars.

Kenny, or anyone, do you have inside deck measurements of the 696?

I have a couple of Army medical chests (20” x 32” each, 40” x 32” next to each other) that I want to make sure will fit on the deck of the 696. Thanks.

Has a Yakima number. I'm about to find out if it works. Hahaha. I suck at searching.

Actually I just found that picture on google. I've been searching all day and I don't find it until within a minute that you find it. I'm sorry. But thank you!

Couldn't find the mounts to order. So I made my own.
