I have a Yakima system on the jeep with "hully rollers" on the back bar, and an
adjustable saddle on the front bar.  The Yakima cross bars are round in cross
section, and no matter how much I tweak the locking bolts there is still some
roatation of the cross bar when taking off/putting on the boat.  It's not a big
deal, but mostly a nuisance as I have to readjust the rollers every time.  Thule
has a square or rectangular cross bar so there wouldn't be that problem.  OTOH, I
love the hully rollers and they make life sweet when loading or unloading.
