I'm Abigail Scott, an author, adventurer, and mother of three. When I'm not navigating the beautiful chaos of motherhood, you can find me tackling the turbulent waters as a professional whitewater kayaker or scaling impressive rock faces as a climbing guide. The rush of adrenaline, whether from kayaking or climbing, is a feeling I cherish deeply. But the thrill doesn't stop there; I capture the breathtaking allure of nature through my lens as a professional photographer. And when I'm not submerged in the wild, my software engineering skills amplify my outdoor pursuits, allowing me to harness technology in unique ways. Through my writings, whether articles or blog posts, I share not just my adventures but my heart, hoping to spark a flame of inspiration in others to break boundaries and experience the world's wonders.

Kayak Roof Rack - Stainless Steel J-Bar

Kayak Roof Rack - Stainless Steel J-Bar

Description

This 2 Pair Powder-Coated Stainless Steel Kayak J-Bar Roof Rack is a great solution for saving cargo space and making loading and unloading easier. The J-bar open design allows for easy access and maneuverability.

The stainless steel construction is powder coated, providing durability and resistance to the elements. It also adds a sleek and stylish look to your vehicle.

The rack features rubber pedals and foam protectors. These are made of real rubber and foam, making them anti-slip and resistant to water and sun damage. This ensures that your kayak or other water sports equipment stays secure during transportation.

Attaching the carrier to your roof rack rails is a simple and straightforward process. This makes it a versatile solution for carrying not just kayaks, but also canoes, surfboards, ski boards, snowboards, and SUPs.

The included heavy-duty securing ratchet straps provide a tight and secure hold for your kayak or canoe. These straps are 16 ft long and have been tested to withstand up to 2200 lbs. The ratchet straps, along with the adjustable rope hanger and anchor straps, ensure safe and easy transport.

Before making a purchase, it is important to check the measurements of the racks. These are universal kayak and canoe car top carrier racks and do not include the crossbars shown in the pictures.

Now, let's address some frequently asked questions:

Can the J racks be directly bolted to a flat wooden trailer bed?
Seems reasonable, and I'm sure a U-bolt would solidify the equation if needed.

Will this rack fit a Rav4 Adventure?
They attach to a roof rack, so as long as your Rav4 Adventure has a roof rack, it should fit.

Wondering if these will hold my two kayaks. Both are 12' long, one is 40" and the other 34".Mine holds my Perception 12.5ft just fine. I put them on Yakima round bars and they won't stay tight. But once you have the kayak in them and strapped down, they don't budge.

Would it fit a 17 ft aluminum canoe?
I doubt it.
