Glad to hear that! Trailer looks fantastic and now you're all set to load up and shove off at the lake :)

by: Mike 03/23/2013

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.

Big fan of these!

by: Ferdinand 09/11/2018 One Year Later

I really like this JayHooks. They are well made. They are easy to use (install on top of my vehicle). The customer service is great as well.

by: Allen G. 07/15/2013

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.

by: Bill 12/02/2022

Arrived within 2 days of my order. Easy assembly and very sturdy construction.
Very pleased!

by: Rick M 09/04/2020

I have used these before, so this is a slightly different version, but equally functional. Directions are easily understood and it works on a variety of roof racks.

by: Randall 09/03/2019

Easy to install and work great. Hauled a kayak at 70mph and not a single worry at all when correctly secure.

by: Michelle Elftman 03/09/2022

Looks good. Seems easy enough to put on and take off. Can't wait to take kayak to the river

Looking For Kayak Carrier For Sit In Kayaks On Jeep Wrangler With Round Bar Roof Rack
Hey Paul, thanks for reaching out. Awesome to hear you found us on the Wild RV youtube channel! The sit-in kayaks are all fairly standard as far as length width and shape so these will be pretty easy to carry on your wrangler. There are several options that will work with a round bar roof rack. A J-style carrier is what I typically use. They are easy to get the hang of and they won't necessarily break the bank. How often do you plan to take your kayaks out? Just a few times a year? Or...

Best J-Style Kayak Rack for Aero Bars on Truck Cap with Load Assist Option for Taller Truck
Hi Larry, It sounds like you’ve got aero-style bars on your truck cap based on the dimensions you shared — 3 inches wide and about 1 inch tall. That’s great news because it means you can use most J-style kayak carriers, including the one you were looking at — Yakima’s JayHook part # Y04084. It’s a solid, reliable choice. Out of curiosity — what kind of kayaks do you have? Are they on the heavier side? If so, you might want to consider something with a load assist, like the Malone DownLoader...

Can Malone EcoLight Sport Trailer with Post Style Carrier for 4 Kayaks Carry 6 Kayaks?
Hello Nicholas, thanks for reaching out. The Malone EcoLight Sport Trailer with Post Style Carrier for 4 Kayaks # MAL63FR can carry up to 4 kayaks. The crossbars are 58" long so it really would not be possible to fit 6 kayaks on there. A better option would be the Yakima Rack and Roll Trailer # Y08107 this has a 78" crossbar and can be used to carry up to 6 kayaks when used with J-style cradles like the Yakima JayHook # Y04084.

Will Yakima Jayhook Kayak Carrier Fit OEM Crossbars of 2025 Honda HR-V
Hey Dave, the Yakima JayHook Kayak Roof Rack # Y04084 will work on the factory crossbars of your 2025 Honda HR-V. I checked with Yakima who test fit this rack on your roof rack and they stated it fit and worked well.

Chris, you can use the Rhino-Rack Vortex Crossbars for Retrax XR and Mountain Top EVO-M Tonneau Covers # RRVA165B-RRRLT600 with the Yakima JayHook Kayak Roof Rack w/ Tie-Downs # Y04084 to transport your kayaks with your Retrax EQ tonneau cover.

How do You Attach a Yakima JayHook Kayak Carrier to a Yakima MightyMount?
From the looks of the photo you provided (thanks so much for this!), you have the Yakima JayHook Kayak Carrier # Y04084. I went ahead and attached the specific information you need to attach the JayHook to the MightyMount # Y03590. One of the important things to remember is that since the JayHook requires for you to use the large carriage bolt with the MightyMount, it is important that you also use the large bail. You will attach the Jayhoook to the MightyMounts with the large carriage...

Recommended Platform Rack for a 2021 Subaru Ascent
I did a little digging around and it looks like the roof on your 2021 Suabru Ascent is around 63 inches, making the Yakima LockNLoad Platform Roof Tray # Y05045 with the TimberLine Towers for Yakima Crossbars # Y33TR, and the LockNLoad SL Adapter for Yakima SkyLine and TimberLine Towers # Y05042-2 near perfect. This platform rack measures 60" long, 54" wide, and will be a perfect addition to your Subaru for all your camping and luggage needs. This rack also has top channels so you can...

How to Lock Yakima JayHook Kayak Carrier # Y04084 to Trailer Crossbars
The mounting brackets for the Yakima JayHook Kayak Carrier # Y04084 are made of a durable plastic, so I'm not sure replacing the included hardware with standard bolts and nuts is the best idea. If you're worried about theft, what you could do is loop a standard cable lock like the Yakima # Y07233 through the mounting bracket and around the crossbar to secure it into place. This would make it pretty difficult (and time consuming) for a passing stranger to remove the carrier.

Will The Yakima Jayhook Kayak Carrier Work with a Factory Rack on a 2009 Lexus GX 470?
Yes, I confirmed with Yakima that the Yakima JayHook Kayak Carrier with Tie-Downs - J-Style # Y04084 will fit with your factory raised rails with factory crossbars. For the basket, I did some research and found out that the Yakima MegaWarrior Extra Large Roof Rack Cargo Basket # Y07080-82 is compatible with your factory rack on the 2009 Lexus GX 470. I recommend the MegaWarrior over the Rhino-Rack XTray Pro Cargo Basket # RRRMCB03 and the Yakima OffGrid Roof Cargo Basket # Y07138 because...

Can 4 Bikes and 1 Kayak be Transported on Top Bar of Yakima EasyRider Trailer
The Yakima EasyRider Double Decker Trailer # Y08129 comes with the 78" Yakima HD crossbars. You can definitely fit your 4 bikes (as the 78" bars can accommodate 6 bikes) and you might be able to also fit your kayak but you'll want to test it out a little to confirm this beforehand. The JayHook # Y04084 will fit the HD bars (my contact at Yakima said it might be a little tricky to fit, but it does fit), and it measures 9-1/2" wide. Since your kayak will be sitting at an angle your whole...

What Kayak Carrier Do You Recommend for My 2020 Ford Explorer Crossbars?
For a kayak carrier that is confirmed to fit your 2020 Ford Explorer factory crossbars, I recommend the Yakima JayHook Kayak Carrier with Tie-Downs # Y04084. The JayHook carrier allows you to transport 1 kayak on its side in order to save extra room on your rack if you wish to mount extra accessories. The JayHook comes with 2 load straps to secure your kayak to your crossbars as well as 2 ratcheting bow/stern ties to anchor your kayak to your 2020 Ford Explorer. If you need to transport...

Can 2 Yakima JayHook Carriers Be Used on 2022 Subaru Forester OEM Roof Rack System
Hey Amy, thanks for reaching out! The Yakima JayHook Kayak Roof Rack w/ Tie-Downs # Y04084 measure 9-1/2" from the front of the hook to the back of the upright, so you'll technically be able to get 2 sets on the 27" wide crossbar on your 2022 Subaru Forester. With that being said, the OEM crossbars sit really close to your roof so while the JayHook will technically fit, the mounting hardware will be dangerously close to touching your roof when loaded so I recommend swapping those bars...

Will the Pelican Catch Classic 100 Fishing Kayak Work W/ the Yakima JayHook
The only thing Yakima specifies for their Yakima JayHook Kayak Roof Rack w/ Tie-Downs # Y04084 is that the Kayak can't weigh more than 80 lbs. I checked the specs for the Pelican Catch Classic 100 fishing kayak and it looks like it only weighs 57 lbs so you'd be fine to use these.

Aero-Style Roof Rack Recommended for 2022 Ram 1500 Crew Cab
For a more quiet roof rack, you'll want to avoid square bars or crossbars with a round profile. I'd recommend a Yakima CoreBar roof rack, which would consist of the following parts: • Yakima 70 Inch CoreBar crossbars, part # Y00423 • Yakima BaseLine roof rack towers, part # Y28TR • Yakima vehicle specific fit clips, part # Y06135 At only 1 inch thick and 2-3/4 inches wide, the CoreBar crossbars are compatible with most roof rack kayak carriers, as long as they haven't been designed to...

Is There a Recommended Side to Side Spacing Between Multiple Yakima JayHook Kayak Carriers
No, there is not really a recommended spacing between the Yakima JayHook Kayak Carries # Y04084 side-to-side on your Malone trailer. It is really just trial and error, because everyone's kayaks can range in shape, size, weight and length. There are a couple different approaches. You can start by putting all 4 JayHook's on evenly spaced across the bars and then shift them as needed. Or you can put the first JayHook on as far to one side as possible, load the first kayak on that rack and...

Kayak Carrier Recommendation to Fit Trailer with Inno Square Crossbars
Yes the Yakima JayHook Kayak Carrier part # Y04084 that you referenced would fit and work great on Inno square crossbars. For a similar in price option I'd recommend the etrailer J-style carrier part # e98878 though as it can fold down when not in use and has a bit more padding as well. I attached a review video for this for you to check out as well.

Will Yakima JayHook Kayak Carrier Work with Ladder Rack for 2022 Toyota Tacoma with Deck Rails

If you are using the Yakima JayLow # Y04073 with the Round Bar Adapter then you can simply remove the adapter for the clamping system to work with aero-style crossbars.

Will The Yakima Jayhook Kayak Carrier Fit Onto The Yakima Jetstream Truck Bed Rack?
The Yakima JayHook Kayak Carrier # Y04084 would work well on your Yakima JetStream Truck Bed Rack Y00427-482104. This carrier has a weight capacity of 80lbs and it simply clamps onto crossbars such as the Yakima Jetstream. Tie-downs are included and you will not need anything else to use this carrier; I attached a demonstration video for you.
