Are each of these J-racks a single piece of metal tubing or are they 2-piece tubes that you fasten together?

A single length of steel tubing with two small plates attached for mounting.If I had bought a section of steel electrical conduit and made them myself they would fit my kayaks better. Would be stronger and cost a lot less money.

Each is a separate piece of tubing. You mount them by a separation that matches your boat. The screws that come with the racks are very cheap metal - my only complaint. I'm happy with mine after 6 months.

It is all one piece.the pair I bought were for jeep but I use them a kawasaki mule. They work fine on the mule just have a little more strap.I found out later that they are for different applications.these will easily hold my weight.I like them and would buy them again.

Only fits Topeak racks. they dovetail together. I like mine. I stop at the store slide it off and roll into the store even if i don't buy anything I don't have to worry about someone stealing something I left in it if I would have left it on the bike.

I looked over the web, but could not find the answer. However, I have never seen racks of this quality, so I am assuming that they are some grade of steel since they seem too heavy and stable to be made of aluminum.

It is a "Dual Tube" design. There is the larger diameter tube that the gas comes out of, and under that is the smaller diameter air vent tube. It is all one piece.

No, they can't. Each side frame is a single piece, with slots for the two racks.

You receive what is shown for the rack. You can mount them together or separate them. They are individual racks. Hope this helps.

They are self tapping screws. The tubes fit into each other, then secured with the screws. Much easier if you have a cordless screwdriver. The only caveat I have is some of the screws don't anchor all that well. But it is a great unit for the price.

Sorry - answered for the wrong product. So here goes, second try. Love this rack. It's metal and plastic (handles and joints). I have one, my sister has one, my daughter has one. No mistake about it.

Roof Rods lower part has a two part piece that clamps to existing rod or tube.

No its square tubing with 2 PVC that slides over the top. I am not sure it they are 2" but close. I am unable to measure them at this time.

Tubes are metal, frames that tubes fit into are plastic and the shelves that lay on top of tubes in frames are metal.

2 rings go in tubing for sturdiness but still don't understand what the spike is for

Two. They are heavy gauge metal. They were exactly what I wanted, except they came unassembled (the adjustable feet parts) with no instructions. My engineer brother put them together for me.

I actually don't know. I ordered two racks. As it was, both identical, both from different sources. Both perfect.

Two pieces: a hardened rubber bumper and plastic outer shell. Functionally these lock together effectively making it a single unit

Two piece. From the research I did still the most reccomended. Make sure to coat the threads with never seize before installing.
