Most Popular J-Style for 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee

This is a very good rack set at a good price too.

Just installed it. So far so good. Ran 2 bike cables side to side with 4 pad locks to secure it for the summer,

Overall, satisfied, the exception being the bow/stern tie down straps, which I replaced with a set with cam buckles. The carrier itself is easy to set up and use, the bumper makes loading the kayak much easier.

Great product and great customer service! Very easy to install, but I highly recommend to watch the installation video first. We used typical black office clips to clip the excess straps down since they came untangled when driving. Also, I recommend to purchase locks for the racks since we are concerned someone may steal them because they are so easy to take on and off.

Easy to install and priced right. Paired them with Rhino-Rack Aero Crossbars.

These J racks rock solid. Easy to put together and attach to the crossbars with lots of rubber padding to protect your kayaks. I went with the universal mount for quick on/off. Large turn knobs make it easy.

these kayak racks work great and comes with all the needs and just bought my first kayak

Arrived quickly and was very easy to assemble and attach to the roof of my Jeep. Now that I have the initial setup complete with the proper placement of the entire system, attaching and removing the kayaks will be a breeze. Will definitely make hauling our kayaks much easier and safer.

4 on canoe rack only because of supplied lower bracket for cross member attachment.

The product is of good construction but probably due to how it fits on my crossbars it needs additional support. The crossbars for my Honda Pilot are wide blade type and these racks seem more appropriate for narrower square type crossbars. Even with the rack fastened very tightly, the rack can twist back and forth. Last year on a trip across Montana the wind was pretty gusty and it caused the front one to pivot quite a bit and we had to pull off and apply a ratcheting strap over the kayak and under the factory rails to ensure it was held tight and wouldn't move again. This year on the same trip we had bad winds but had a roof rack mounted behind these racks giving it support on the tall side. We had to strap it real good to make sure it didn't move. If we hadn't had that additional support behind it and add'l straps we probably would have had more problems. I think if the top metal bracket had a wider channel to fit our crossbars it would be much more stable. The way it is now it just sandwiches 2 metal plates between my crossbar which allows it to pivot under stress.

Have only taken it out once so far but it was easy to put on and use. Could be easy for someone to steal, I put bike locks on mine to prevent that.

I have four of these. Never had a problem. When you can get them on sale I think these are the best bang for the buck as far as kayak carriers go.

This is a great product with some minor issues. The rack came partially assembled. The first issue I had was that the top mounting bracket was already attached to the carrier but the holes for the mounting bolts were not lined up so I had to disassemble the pre-assembled bracket to get the mounting bolt holes lined up. Even then, because of the rubber coating, I had to use a hammer to get the mounting bolts through the carrier and top bracket. Not really a big deal, but it did require a little extra effort. The carrier fit nicely on my aero style bars and the nut/knobs used to tighten went on smoothy. I will say you have to contort yourself a little to tighten them fully. The carrier was easy to adjust and easy to use after this. I will also add that if you have a sun roof, you can't open it with this on as the window will hit the bolts. The included straps are fantastic. Unfortunately, I have a large kayak at over 13' long and 70 lbs and I saw a lot of movement of the kayak at speed above 40 mph. I made sure that the bow, stern and kayak straps were secure, but due to the size of the kayak, it moves a lot. I know the manufacturer rating is for a heavier kayak, but I think a rear loading saddle style rack is better for my needs. Unfortunately, I did use it so I can't return it and will try to sell it locally.

These products were easy to install and are highly recommended. The service from etrailer, as always, was excellent

They feel sturdy enough,easy to install om Malone kayak trailer. We'll see how they hold you to Gulf of Mexico salt air.

Super easy to install, quality built, rock solid paring with crossbars. Zero doubt about safety. Could not ask for a better product. Worth every penny. And they fit perfectly with the Malone crossbars for my 2019 Equinox. Customer Service via chat helped me find the one and only pair that would fit those crossbars. So glad I found etrailer.

Once again, etrailer did a great job getting their products into my hands. Delivery was on time and the correct products showed up. I like doing business with this place.

These kayak J-style racks worked great, AFTER I went to the hardware store and spent $20 on bolts that actually fit my truck rack. It comes with 2-5/8” mounting bolts that aren’t adequate for a heavy truck rack ( mines a Best.Wyle). I had to buy 4” bolts, lock washers, and nuts). I also wish the locking teeth were mitered instead of square. That would make them less prone to breaking and easier to align.
