One of Yakima’s new heavy-duty products is for weekend adventures and hardworking weekdays. The new OverHaul HD adjustable truck rack brings best-in-class payload and unmatched versatility. Leveraging Yakima’s new HD Bars for a 500 lb. on-road carrying capacity and paired with 300 lb Off-Road rating, the OverHaul HD is the ideal foundation for heavy loads. Multiple tie-down points and the ability to fit most truck beds with the heavy duty BedGrip™ clamp design—including select tonneau covers—make this an ultra-functional rack that works and plays hard - let’s not forget the built-in bottle openers.
The crossbar height can easily be adjusted from 19-30 inches: way up for long loads to go over the cab; down low to get the rack and load down out of the wind; and an infinite number of positions in between.
The system is easy to take on and off the truck in minutes, with the Patent Pending QuickChange™ rack attachment, so the truck is only racked up when needed. The OverHaul HD fits all of Yakima’s new HD crossbar sizes and accepts SideBars for attaching off-road and utility accessories. For more product info visit www.yakima.com.
One of the honours we enjoy at the SEMA Show each year is the position of a Global Media Awards Judge. I pick my top ten favourite products for Canada, and if those new products get enough votes, they get a Global Media Award (and a couple free drinks).
I usually end up with more than ten, and although I feel Canada should get more votes, no one else does. As a result, here are the products we chose and a couple who we wanted to vote for.
