I had a look at the Yakima Outdoorsman on line and it looks to me that the trac-racs are more rugged and an overall better design. Beefier uprights and crossbars. The uprights actually tilt inwards which helps dampen any side to side sway. I had them on my previous Ranger for many years and never had to re-tighten or replace any bolts. Survived off road in the Sierras but Baja is probably tougher. Maybe I need to do a field trip to Baja to test them out.
