Question:
Could two of these roof racks be installed on my Nissan Xterra and carry our two kayaks- 10’ Pelican Trailblazer and a 12’ Old Town Predator MX? Thank you.

It would be extremely tight on your roof if you were to go with the Malone MegaWing Fishing Kayak Carrier # MPG207 as they are almost 30" wide and that's not even considering the width of your kayak which would require a large roof rack for your Nissan Xterra. There is an alternative that I do like using and that's the etrailer J-Style Kayak Carrier - Folding - Universal Mount Item # e98878. This one will not take up near as much space as the MegaWing will and your kayaks will stand upright. You can adjust how the kayak is positioned too since you have two different kayaks. I think you will be happy with our J-Style Carrier. Check out the video to see it in action!
