Strap Failure After First Use Put two kayak on my roof (tandem and single about 12' long to transport 400 miles. The sticks are easy to install, however out of the box one strap kept slipping and another frayed almost completely. Thank good I had secured the load with my own strapping since I did not trust the Yakama straps. Also, you need a buddy to load with you since the kayaks want to slide away from the sticks. 3200

I have had the exact opposite experience. The straps are all solid and strong and the kayaks are rock solid on there. They even included little rubber tubes for padding for the front and aft tie-downs. In addition to many local trips, I drove 8 hours each way to Michigan last summer and the rack was perfect.38895

  • Assistance for Loading Kayaks on a 2011 Toyota 4Runner with Factory Roof Rack and Yakima BigStack
  • The Yakima BigStack, # Y04041, will fit the 2011 Toyota 4Runner with factory installed crossbars. To help you load the kayaks, you can use the Water Slide non-skid mat, # TH854. Also, something like a tire step, # HE4040, would make it easier to reach the roof of the vehicle. I also recommend adding the Vehicle Anchor Strap Kit, # Y04046, so you have easy access to a tie down point on the vehicle for the bow/stern straps. These tie downs are featured in the video I have linked at about the 3

  • Will the Yakima BigStack Kayak Carrier Fit a 2012 Subaru Outback Wagon
  • If your 2012 Subaru Outback Wagon has factory installed crossbars that run side to side then the Yakima BigStack, # Y04041, is a direct fit. It does come with everything you will need to mount the carrier and secure up to 2 kayaks. I have included a link to the installation instructions for you to view. If you do not have crossbars on the vehicle you will need to add some before you can use a kayak carrier. I have included a link to the roof rack options for your vehicle.
