2-Pair Universal Canoe Car Top Mount Carrier Roof Rack for Kayaks, Boats, SUVs, and Vans with J-Bar Design - JDM Auto Lights

Cheryl Myers: These had a very good price, are built well and installed easily. I installed two sets of these kayak carriers on my Jeep in less that 15 minutes and was ready to load my kayaks and head to the river.

Alwin C.: This kayak rack was essential in being able to transport my kayaks. I am happy with the purchase. The only thing I would change is the straps they provide to tie down the kayaks. They don't feel quite strong.

codyr88: Great product, works as intended, directions for assembly were clear and easy to follow. The only difficulty I had was the mounts were only just barely large enough for the roof racks on my second generation Nissan Xterra. With a little finesse I was able to install the kayak racks but it was not easy. But now that they’re installed the work great. Great price great product.

TrUzApalOOza: We've only had these installed for a week but the cam buckle lashing straps (2 sets of 8' each) are just too short. Not all kayaks are created equally, and sit-in versus sit-down have different depths so the included should be 2' longer. The front portion of our two kayaks is thicker, and we end up with less than 2" of the strap to pull thru the buckle which just fails to work, nor safe. At the manufacturing level, the cost difference is nominal to make these straps 1' - 2' longer. Any extra strap, for those with smaller kayaks, can simply be rabbit looped below the buckle at no risk of interfering with things during travel. We've had to go buy separate replacements to solve this shortcoming. I'm dinging the rating 1-star for this.

Putting these J-hooks together was straightforward, but the included diagrams could have been a bit more detailed, and on a full-sized piece of paper. A simple URL on the paper linked to high-resolution detail PDF is another simple solution.

We have these J-hooks paired with https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B086TSYF9J/ and they carry our kayaks good so far using our 3rd party straps. I will update this review if needed over the next...

Amazon CustomerAmazon Customer: Built a custom rack on my trailer and needed a couple of kayak holders for my kayaks. As you can see from the pictures I mounted them to a 2X4 instead of a car roof rack. I had to buy a longer bolts to hold on the bottom plates of the holders but other than that no modifications. This last weekend I hauled the trailer over 80 miles taking my kayaks to the lake and back. The kayak holders held perfectly. They are sturdy and the straps did not loosen in transit. If I had any complaint it would be that the straps were a little longer. On the front skinny end of the kayaks the straps are plenty long enough, but on the back end which is wider the straps struggle to make it all they way around the boat. I would but definitely buy these kayak holders again.
