Thule roof rack, box and cage installed on R1S for road trip

[GHAUGB]

Thule X bars.
This was a great post and I followed suit and installed the same Thule set up.
I liked this solution given the versatility of Thule bars and the extra 'purchase' the wider bars provide .
In fact, based on the 3 fixed points on the R1S, I am thinking about buying a 3rd bar;
Caveat is that Thule is unable to sell a 'half package' so I would be stuck with one extra bar and the extra mounts......unless someone else have the same idea and would like to go in on one set....

We are headed out on a round trip from CA to Telluride and back. We might be crazy but we are going to try it in the R1S. Camping along the way.

We have 4 humans and 2 dogs (lab and golden) so we will only have use of the frunk.
To ensure we have enough storage I wanted to put our roof box and a Yakima SkinnyWarrior cage on top.

I wasn't able to get the necessary width with the Rivian bars and decided to get the Thule set up. I am very impressed with their fit kit and overall build quality. Mounts are super solid.
I used the rear most mount points which works well and is not very noisy on the highway. I'll do some range tests and post a follow-up.

What I installed:
Thule Evo Fixpoint
Thule Wingbar Evo - length 150
Fit kit 187139
Thule Motion XT XL roof box
Yakima SkinnyWarrior cage

Hope this helps someone who needs to take a lot of gear.

Looking to buy a set of crossbars could you please let me know what the cabin noise difference is between the rivian bars and the Thule bars
