Easy to Install
this Thule 430 Tracker II roof rack review by BLANFORD
vehicle year/make/model: 2011 Toyota Tacoma
item(s) transported: kayaks
(PLEASE NOTE: This review also includes a review of the Thule TB60 Roof Tracks). I first went to a cap dealer and learned about roof racks and decided I could purchase and install them myself. The dealer wanted to install a product I didn't think would work for my needs.
Great Pop Up Rack
this Thule 430 Tracker II roof rack review by Camping Guru
vehicle year/make/model: 2001 Coleman Niagra Elite pop up camper
item(s) transported: kayaks, bikes
This rack sits perfectly in the track rail system on the Coleman Niagra popup camper. It is easy to install/set up. After placing the order ORS shipped this as expected.
Awesome Load System
this Thule 430 Tracker II roof rack review by Donner
vehicle year/make/model: 2006 Dodge Ram pickup truck
item(s) transported: skiis, toboggan, small rowboat
First - ORS was excellent to deal with, prompt service and quick shipping. The components were well documented and easy to install in less than 1/2 hour in the cold. The entire assembly with a ski rack also mounted removes in seconds, and with the covers on is barely noticeable. If installing a roll-up hard tonneau cover (Jackrabbit)- the option of slotted siderails affords you the ability to mount this load system on your truck bed allowing you the full use of the bed, as well as carry capability above it. This setup is awesome, exactly what I wanted, and ORS has the best service and pricing! A very satisfied customer, I recommend them to anyone.
Measure Twice, Drill Once, Piece of Cake
this Thule 430 Tracker II roof rack review by D. Cova
vehicle year/make/model: 2005 Dodge Ram 1500 pickup truck
item(s) transported: mountain bikes
The installation was fairly easy, the product is even easier to use. The bolts that came with the Tracker Feet were a bit small for my Leer fiberglass camper top. I was able to find longer bolts at Home Depot Hardware Store.
Super Rack Set-Up
this Thule 430 Tracker II roof rack review by RCAllen
vehicle year/make/model: 2009 Jeep Wrangler
item(s) transported: kayaks
This rack is super easy to install and use. The quick disconnect is perfect becuase I dont like to leave my bars and saddles on the top of the Jeep when not in use. Excellent product, fits perfect.
Simple install....Sturdy.....Looks great!
this Thule 430 Tracker II Review by J. Cochran
vehicle year/make/model: 2006 Ford F-250 pickup truck
item(s) transported: bikes
I purchased this rack kit to install over my truck bed tonneau cover. Install was a breeze! The perfect solution for transporting our (4) bikes when we tow our travel trailer. These load bars are heavy duty! Secure the tracker kits in position, snap on the tracker feet, secure load bars....ready for bike trays. Simple push button removal to store bars and feet when not in use. These are so easy to remove, lock cylinders are a must. The only inferior part of this system is the TKCAP covers. The tabs inside the covers are paper thin. One of mine broke the first time I put it on, and the other three have a very loose fit. If not for the TKCAP issue, this kit would be 5 stars.
Easy to Install, Works Great
this Thule 430 Tracker II Review by Drew McSparron
vehicle year/make/model: 2001 Jeep Wrangler hard top
item(s) transported: 17' sea kayak
First off the service from ORS was excellent. The Thule rack components were a breeze to install & took less than 1/2 hour including finding the correct positioning. You can remove the whole rack in about 30 seconds, put the snap covers on, and you're left with 4 barely noticeable, low profile feet. I had a problem finding a good rack for the Jeep that worked well, didn't cost an arm and a leg, looked good, and was easily removeable, and I'm happy with this one.
Great product and great customer service from ORS
this Thule 430 Tracker II Review by E.ETHIER
vehicle year/make/model: 2005 Honda CRV
item(s) transported: canoe and car top carrier
We like the Thule 430, when we first got it the covers didn't fit correctly, we got replacements quickly. The covers still didn't fit 100% perfectly so my husband had to do something to get them to fit. That is the only reason I gave it a 4 instead of a 5. We have used it for our roof top carrier on vacation and it was great, no problems.
Great rack!
this Thule 430 Tracker II Review by Michael Dibiassio
vehicle year/make/model: 2004 Honda Element
item(s) transported: Snowboards and skis, bikes, kayaks, canoes, dead bugs
These are great! They literally go on and come off in seconds so if you want to store them when not in use, you don’t have to make a day out of it. This feature of course means that they can also be stolen in seconds, so I would recommend protecting your investment by buying locks. They look great on the car because there aren't any clips showing and they feel totally secure once they're installed
Great choice for truck caps
this Thule 430 Tracker II Review by D. Zorn
vehicle year/make/model: 2007 GMC Sierra
item(s) transported: canoe
I wanted racks on my truck cap so I could carry my canoe. I ended up purchasing the Thule 430 foot system with a set of tracks that I had to install (DRILL) into my cap. Installing the tracks on my cap was a bit nerve racking, but once those were on the 430 feet clicked into the tracks with the Tracker Kit 1. That was incredibly easy to do. I chose the long tracks so that I would have the ability to adjust the spread of my crossbars. It took some time to install and was a bit stressful, but now that they are on there I am very pleased. I suggest locks for the towers because they can be taken off (RIPPED OFF) very quickly and easily.
EZ on/off, and sturdy = good value
this Thule 430 Tracker II Review by R. Swartz
vehicle year/make/model: 2005 Honda CRV
item(s) transported: Kayaks, and whatever needs to be moved
Yes - really easy on and off (we could have probably skipped the locks - just click the racks off and put them in the car when not in use). Holds four kayaks with ease or sturdy enough for other uses. Also the sales folks at ORS were very helpful (second time we've bought things from them). In conclusion: Great system and great service.
Needs Some Aftermarket Effort To Get It Right
this Thule 430 Tracker II roof rack review by John E.
vehicle year/make/model: 2004 Coleman Pop Up Trailer
item(s) transported: bikes
(PLEASE NOTE: Thule 594XT SideArm bike rack also included in this review). There was too much flex in the Tracker bars that spread across the pop up trailer to have 3 bikes on the roof. We had to remove one and place it on the car. the upright racks had trouble holding the bikes steady. Trailers have less suspension and harder tire pressure so not a smooth ride. One front tire popped out of the front wheel bracket on the 405 Freeway (LA, VERY bumpy). Will need to add some tie downs like there are for the rear wheel. Otherwise a quality product and happy with my purchase.
