Products Featured in This Question
Question:
Have a 2017 Honda Ridgeline. I need to carry two kayaks with a total with that will not fix flat in the bed of the Ridgeline. Can you attach the J rack to the end of the longarm bed extender to carry the Kayaks on their sides.

Expert Reply:
The solution I have for you to carry two kayaks with your 2017 Honda Ridgeline is as follows. I recommend you obtain a 1" x 4" piece of lumber to span the width of your truck bed and then attach a set of j-style cradles directly to this, the Swagman Contour Kayak Carrier w/ Tie-Downs - J-Style - Fixed Arms part # S65148 would work well. The Yakima LongArm Bed and Roof Load Extender part # Y01149-1150 could then be used to secure the tail end of your kayaks.
The cross arm on the Yakima LongArm is too large to fit any sort of standard roof mount carrier nor would it support enough of the kayak to be able to hold them at an angle due to the cross arm being at the tail end.
