Already own a rack? Reuse it

Older kits that fit this Frontier. If you already have one, you may only need bars or feet:

  • Kit 1430 (older) is the same fit as current Kit 145160 for the bare roof Frontier. Use it with Thule 480 Traverse or 480R Rapid Traverse feet.

Parts that fit your 2009 Frontier

Camper shell or truck cap on your Frontier?

The fits above mount to the cab. With a camper shell, mount the rack to the shell instead. There are two common ways:

Option 1: Add tracks to the shell

Bolt tracks to the top of the shell, then clamp towers into them (Yakima SkyLine with Landing Pad 1, or Rhino-Rack RLT600). Strongest option and the easiest to adjust bar spread.

Option 2: Add artificial rain gutters

Rain-gutter strips attach to the shell's sides, then gutter-style towers clamp on (Thule Rapid Gutter or Yakima 1A). No tracks on the roof, and a good fit for shells without a flat top.

Cargo boxes for your 2009 Nissan Frontier

A cargo box mounts on the crossbars above. Check the box’s crossbar spread range and make sure your rear hatch opens clear of it. Boxes are oversized, so most are pickup at our Ashland store, where we’ll mount it for you.

Bike racks for your 2009 Nissan Frontier

Roof bike racks clamp to your crossbars. Hitch bike racks need a receiver hitch — check whether yours is 1.25″ or 2″ before ordering.
