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.

    Will these what ?

    difference rear vs side loading?

    Hello, Thank You for contacting Rhino Rack! The side loader you load from the side of the vehicle. As with the rear loader, you load from the rear of the vehicle.

    Can you use the 2019 Forester crossbars or do you need to buy different ones?

    these have been engineered to the grooves of the Rhino-Rack Crossbars. We would recommend you check out the 570 series

    Does it come with the hardware to screw it down to the crossbars

    Yes. It comes with the hardwear that slide in the track and gets screwed down tight once you position them to fit your kayak. I loosely tightened them and then mounted the kayak to make final adjustments before tightening all the way.
