This worked for me. Both ordered from the gear shop.

How did you mount the Yakima fatcats flush to the racks?

I just picked up a new pair of skis - Nordica Enforcer 94, 186 length. These just barely fit in the bed on the diagonal. I test fit them before buying

This is about the longest you can fit in the bed with the two skis together without proping up one end. Maybe you can fit bit more if you have skis without tip rocker or short tips.

I agree. it helps to place multiple in a ‘X’ pattern

My nordic skate skis are 192cm. I am seriously considering contacting an R1T owner here in Bend (the one selling on Craigslist) and ask him if I can test fit them in the bed of his truck. Hopefully, they'll fit using the diagonal and vertical axes).

So what did you find out?

He stopped my house and I was able to fit them in diagonally flat. Threw them in the bed of the truck this past season without any problems.

Do you retain the functionality with this setup to easily remove the Fatcats (and say mount something else like a box or RTT)? Or is it a bit of work to swap the fatcats out for something else? I’m wondering about the mounts I am sure the Fatcats themselves aren’t much effort.

I personally don't think unbolting the Fatcats would that inconvenient. Only if you were switching on a regular basis. For me it would be a twice a year event if I had a RTT.. Fatcats stay on Nov thru May for ski season Or just get a second pair of Rivian cargo bars... I love how easy they go and come off the truck. I do this regularly
