Now that I have these crossbars, what rack is recommended to attach to it so I can haul 2 10' kayaks?

The cross bars are difficult to install and poorly documented. I set my cross bars to max wheel base distance apart for max kayak stability.Aside from that... I use two Thule 835 Pro folding kayak rack systems. I carry a huge 14 footer and a slightly smaller 12 footer.It handles them safely and securely. Easy to load and unload.

I have sent them back. When I got them in they didn't come with installation instructions and never got them on. When contacting the seller, was not helpful at all. I actually ended up going with a Yakima brand. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

dont really need any...there are foam spacers for between kayaks and just use straps...Lasso makes a real nice loop lock system for kayaks too...secure and dont worry

Did you mean 10' instead of 10"? If you place one on top the other and properly secure with straps that is workable. If you intend to carry them side by side I am not sure...I will need to know the width of the Kayaks.

We too have a wide heavy kayak...we tried rack but since our vehicle had unique existing roof bars, this unit wasn't ideal and we ended up going the more traditional folding J mounts.

You would need two of them for two kayaks. Make sure you have the long roof rack bars. If you can raise your hands and reach a foot over your roof you will be fine. Just make sure you secure them from the front and rear after they are on the rack.

I loved my cross bars, I used it for my kayak. It comes with all the hardware that you need. Hardest part I had was figuring out how to take the strips off my roof. Only had 1 kayak possibly 50lbs and it worked wonderfully with j racks.

This is the roof cross bars. Yes you could tie a kayak to it but it might be best to get a kayak rack to add to these bars.

Yes two pair, 4 j-racks & hardware - enough for two kayaks. They work great!

I use it for Thule kayak carriers. You can use them for bike racks. Check out Yakima and Thule. Both websites you can enter in vehicle info and select optional factory crossbars, and the options are given for what bike racks can be used.

No. It sounds like you are referring to "Side Rails" which run front to back of your vehicle (parallel to the Kayak). You will need Crossbars that run from Side-to-side (Perpendicular to Kayak). These racks straddle the cross bars.

You have to have a cross bars on the roof. The wing will attach to them.. Not sure what kind of kayak you have but the tie downs are a bit short

I transport 2 - 9 foot kayaks on the stacker on a Ford EScape. The stacker connects to the two crossbars on my Ford roof rack. I had some challenges mounting both of them on before tying on before sliding them off. I added new Inno devices that prevent the sideways kayaks as I tie them off.

I would dbl ck w/ the manufacturer, but you should be able to use this rack. I only hauled Paddle boards.

There are two identical racks per box. Each rack has two plastic brackets with screws. Be sure to position the brackets as shown in the picture provided on the amazon web site, especially the bottom bracket. It must be placed right under the bar that the kayak rests on. That prevents the rack from slipping out of the brackets when the weight of the kayak is placed on them. The kayak does not touch the wall. Gary

Would trust Yakima, they are not designed to fit small crossbars. Anything under 1.5" diameter would give me pause.

I ended up buying this to carry 2 kayaks on our 2005 Grand Caravan minivan: Malone Stax Pro2 Universal Car Rack Folding Kayak Carrier (2 Boat Carrier)

You need to measure the width between your roof rack rails where attachment of this carrier can be mounted. Then add up your kayaks width to make sure you have sufficient room. The seawing is pretty wide. I got one on my rack (mounted in the middle) then needed two side mount carriers to get the other two kayaks up on top. Total weight of all kayaks was a concern. Make sure you check with the manufacturer to make sure you don't exceed the roof rack capacity. Like the SeaWing though, Real simple to install and use. A bit of movement (flex in the wing) while driving takes some getting use to. Malone was real nice to deal with.

Hi Joe - you would definitely need to have aftermarket crossbars installed to accommodate the widths of both of these kayaks on the carrier. You may also need to upsize the bars from what is recommended. Also, please be sure to be attentive to the weight limits of the vehicle, as each of those kayaks are quite heavy.
