Ok Thanks guys. I thought thats what it was. It's for sale over on lrx.com with 4 hella 3000s. I think I'll pass on it and see what the new racks from northwestparts look like.

Ed, you're a Yakima dealer eh? I have an adventure rack and use all yakima accessories on it. The mounts fit a little loose so I went to a parts store and they gave me piece of heater hose to use as spacers. I simply cut small rectangles out and place them in the mounts for a perfect snug fit on the bars.
I'm always needing yakima products...you offer any specials for discoweb members??? Next thing I'll be needing is the red stretchnet (loadwarrior?) and a kayak stacker.

What kind of towers do you have and what year are they? Nothing should be loose at all if all adjustments are made. email me directly and if you don't know what you have shoot me some pix of your set up and problem areas.
Ed
Ps what kind of kayaks do you have?
