These racks worked very well! Easy but tedious construction. However installing onto the vehicle was easy and no damage done to the vehicle. Held down the kayaks well and didn’t budge an inch on the freeway at >70mph. With wind. I didn’t use the straps however that came with these so not sure about those. Overall for the function, stability and appearance, great product!Vehicle is a ‘23 RAV4 for reference.

Got tired of tying kayaks to the roof of my SUV. Bought these and going to the lake every summer has been a breeze. They’re sturdy and have survived many trips up the road.

The good: So far these things have held up pretty well! They were able to keep my two kayaks completely stable at highway speeds with 25-30mph winds from a storm. The foam pads that come with the racks are quite frankly useless and peeled up on the first use do to heat and humidity, but the foam that surrounds the bars seems to be more than efficient to protect the kayaks. The tie downs that come with this pack do seem a bit thin and will probably wear out over a good amount of trips out but for the time being they work and they’re easy to use (just the light blue gator straps, the rope like tie downs are fantastic) If you’re going to be using this with a sedan make sure you get the “under the hood†Kevlar hooks that bolt down to the frame and you’re definitely going to want a front and back tie down for each kayak. Also after being tightened down they seemed EXTREMELY secure to my Yakima Baseline rack. You could easily carry multiple surfboards or paddle boards on these for people who want to go that route.The not so good: The assembly wasn’t too bad, but that’s only because I had a 13mm deep socket wrench. If you try to put this thing together with the wrench they supply you’re a madman. I suggest removing your roof rack if possible to put these on as it makes things much easier, or if you have a standard 13mm wrench it would make it possible with the rack still on the car. I’m not sure if anybody has tried it but I definitely wouldn’t try to put heavier kayaks on these. Both of mine (Sundolphin journey 10ss and a 12ft necky gannet) weigh 45lbs so I wasn’t worried about the metal bending but heavier ones would worry me as the metal used isn’t extensively thick.Overall, for the price you really can’t beat this set as long as you have your own tools. Again I wouldn’t put something like a 12 foot fully loaded fishing kayak on here, but for the average user these things are nice. Assembly would take roughly an hour if you plan it out right.

This is a well made, nicely finished and priced Kayak Rack kit. As configured out of the box, it may not work for thicker height crossbars on some truck racks because the 8mm carriage bolts supplied are too short (about 2-1/2 inches). I retro fitted mine with 5/16-18, 4 inch long carriage bolts (3-1/2 length would have worked too) to fit the crossbar (approx. 1-3/4 H, 2-3/4 W) on my Vevor branded adjustable height truck rack, which is thicker 'height-wise' than most car rooftop crossbars. The 8mm nuts inside the plastic T-handle wings can be pressed out and replaced with 5/16-18 nuts if you want to reuse them. 5/16-18 nuts are typically 1/2 inch across the flats and might be a little loose inside the T-wings, the 8mm nuts being a little wider across the flats, but a little silicon or glue should secure them. As a sidetone, I could not find any 8 mm carriage bolts locally that were long enough, thus the change. In summary, the ratcheting hook straps supplied work great and the other pull straps included make this a nicely supplied kit.
Old but not too old.

I have not yet carried a kayak with this yet but it seems as though it will work fine and seems sturdy after assembly. Comes with (vehicle to kayak) anchor and (kayak to rack) tie down straps. The racks are packed well but the packing list is for one single kayak rack only. The instructions are vague but if you get out a magnifying glass the pictures are okay. The wrenches they supply would be good if you were stranded on a desert island soo...You will want a decent 13mm wrench and a deep well socket wrench would be MUCH easier, a small mallet or hammer and some slippery silicone spray might help too. The bars going thru the black plastic couplings/friction pads is the toughest part and require good hand strength. My advice to you is to use silicone or maybe WD40 to lube up inside plastic part to make sliding everything together easier.The plastic is very rigid and maybe a hair dryer can be used on plastic to soften and may help that problem. The goal is holes must line up really well. A screwdriver stuck through the holes that are close might work for some to achieve alignment. Hammer is used to tap the plastic only to move just a little. Square part of carriage bolt must be aligned carefully when inserting in hole. Put only one together and make sure it will work on your cargo rack before doing all of them. These worked on my 2013 Rav 4 but check yours. Comes with extra parts that could be used to adjust somewhat if need be. I saved a buck, good luck and pass the Advil.

I actually bought these as a cheaper alternative to the name brand roof racks for snowboards and skiis. I was able to bring 4 snowboards on these 2 pairs and secured them with the blue locking straps. The drive was about 4.5 hours long through high speeds, wind, rain and snow and this set kept my snowboards secured. No rattling or moving around, easy to install and remove, pretty good material quality.

These took way longer to put together than I planned on. The instructions were brief and not detailed so there was some guesswork required. The kit provides enough locking nuts to affix the J bars more permanently but we live in Alaska so we will remove them each Fall to extend their lifespan. For that reason we attached them to the cross bar using the provided quick nuts. If you do this, I highly recommend checking them before each trip to ensure they haven’t gotten looser with the vibrations. Attaching them to the crossbar was super quick and easy, it was putting the bars together and figuring out which bolts went where was the challenge. All in all, a great value. I’m glad I got them!
