Best Kayak Carrier For Ocean Malibu Two XL Kayak
Question:
Hi how are you doing today, I have a 2006 4Runner with the factory roof rack and cross bars, I just bought an Ocean Malibu two XL kayak and I need a Kayak Rack for my 4Runner which Rack do you recommend for me to purchase? It’s about 13’4” long 43” wide and I think ?? it’s 90 pounds. Thanks for your time and I need the rack ASAP for me to be able to pick up the Kayak about 2 hours from my house ?? unless I can just place it directly on my cross bars.

Expert Reply:
By far the best option for a rack to carry your Ocean Malibu Two XL kayak is the BigCatch from Yakima, which is the following part number:
- Yakima BigCatch Kayak Carrier # Y04091
The BigCatch # Y04091 (which I verified with Yakima will fit your 4Runner) is the only carrier capable of handling both the 90 lb weight and 43 inch width of your kayak. It has four separate saddle-style cradles which you can put at the necessary width on your crossbars, and a 150 lb weight capacity.
It even comes with load straps and bow/stern tie-downs, so you don't have to get those separately.
