• Is The Thule TracRac Ladder Rack Compatible With The T-Slots Of A RetraxPRO XR Cover
  The Thule TracRac SR Sliding Truck Bed Ladder Rack # TH43002XT-508 unfortunately isn't a compatible match with a RetraxPRO XR tonneau cover. The Yakima OverHaul HD Adjustable Truck Bed Ladder Rack for Tonneau Cover # Y01151-5855 you were looking at would be a confirmed fit though. This rack will come with a adapters that can mount into the t-slots of the cover for easy installation and adjustment to haul various items, like your kayaks. The HD crossbars come with tie-down points on each...

• Recommended Roof Rack and Kayak Carrier for a 2024 Subaru Crosstrek
  Hey Pat, so if your 2021 Crosstrek had factory raised rails then you could use something like the Malone AirFlow2 Roof Rack # MPG216 on both vehicles, but if you had a bare roof on your old Crosstrek then the bars are not going to be interchangeable. But, If you have flush mounted rails on the new Crosstrek you can use something like the Custom Fit Roof Rack Kit With TH25KE # TH93GG. If you also need a kayak carrier, the Rhino-Rack Kayak Roof Rack w/ Tie-Downs # S512 will work great...

• Recommended Roof Rack, Cargo Box, Bike Carrier, and Kayak Carrier for 2013 Hyundai Elantra
  I recommend the Thule Aero Crossbars # TH711420, Traverse foot pack # TH480R, and Fit Kit # THKIT1695. This is an easy installation, but if you aren't comfortable doing it yourself, I recommend having a trusted mechanic install it. I've attached a video of this installation on a vehicle without the panoramic roof to give you an idea of this process. This roof rack will be compatible with kayaks, bike carriers, and cargo boxes. I recommend the Rhino-Rack J-Style Kayak Carrier - Folding...

• How to Carry Three Kayaks on the Roof of a 2018 Chevrolet Equinox
  In order to fit three kayaks on the roof of your 2018 Chevrolet Equinox, you will first need a roof rack. In order to recommend one I would need to know if you have a bare roof with fixed mounting points or factory raised side rails. If you have the bare roof with fixed mounting points then I recommend the Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbar System which is composed of crossbars part # RRVA118B-2, mounting feet part # RRRCL4 , and fit kit part # RRRCP62-BK. If you have factory raised side...

• Best Rhino-Rack Kayak Carrier and Roof Rack Combination for a 2011 Kia Soul
  Yes, the Rhino-Rack J-Style Kayak Carrier, # S512, is one of the best options for you to use with a Rhino-Rack roof rack on your 2011 Kia Soul. If you are also shopping for the roof rack, then I recommend the Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero roof rack which consists of the following parts: Vortex Aero Crossbars # RRVA126S-2 (Silver) or # RRVA126B-2 (Black) 2500 Series Legs # RRRLKVA Custom Fit Kit # DK237 If you plan on carrying more than just 1 kayak, I recommend using the Yakima JayLow, # Y04073,...

• Porta Bote Roof Rack Carrier Recommendations
  For a surfboard style carrier to transport your Porta-Bote I would recommend the Rhino-Rack SUP and Surfboard Carrier # RRRWP03. This comes with the straps and pads needed. For a j-style kayak carrier the Rhino Rack Watersport Carriers # S512 would be a great choice as well as long as your PortaBote weighs less than 55 lbs. I attached a review video for you to check out. Both of these racks will work on a Rhino Rack roof rack. Since you said you like the kayak style better that would...

• How To Carry Two Kayaks On a 2018 Toyota Camry
  I have a great option for you to carry multiple kayaks on your 2018 Toyota Camry. The method you have chosen of using j-style carriers will be best because it is easier to load them onto the roof from each side of the vehicle. For a j-style carrier, I really like the Rhino-Rack J-Style Kayak Carrier part # S512 because it has pretty much all of the same features (folding design, padding for protection, included tie-downs) as the top tier brands like Thule and Yakima but at only a fraction...

• Roof Cargo Box and Kayak Carrier that Fits Factory Bars of 2011 Honda CR-V
  If you went with a smaller roof box as well as a j-style carrier you probably could fit the two together but I would need to know how long your crossbars are to see what would fit the best.

• How Can I Mount a Kayak Carrier with a Rooftop Cargo Bag?
  I have an answer for you. Since you have Thule AeroBlades that measure 36-38" wide and the Rightline Gear Sport Jr. # RL100S50, that leaves only 6-8 inches for the kayak carrier. We unfortunately do not have a kayak carrier option that is compatible with 6-8 inches of crossbar space. With that being said, the only way to transport a kayak carrier like the Thule Hull-a-Port # TH849000 is to remove the Sport Jr. from the rack. If you still want a bit of roof-top storage space, you can...

• Best Roof Rack Options for a 2016 Land Rover Discovery/LR4
  Absolutely! A Land Rover Discovery is referred to as the Land Rover LR4 here in North America. This is not to be confused with the Land Rover Discovery Sport which is an entirely different vehicle altogether. The Discovery/LR4 came with two different roof options which were a bare roof and roof with factory installed tracks. If you have the factory installed track system then you can use the Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbar System which is composed of the the crossbars part # RRVA137B-2,...

• Can The Yakima BigStack Kayak Carrier Fit The Slats Of A Front Runner Slimline Roof Rack
  Hi Trevor, The Yakima BigStack Kayak Roof Rack w/ Tie-Downs # Y04041 is only good for crossbars up to 3" wide, per Yakima, so it would not be fit for the slats in your Front Runner Slimline cargo basket. The Rhino-Rack Kayak Roof Rack w/ Tie-Downs # S512 would be a better option since it can fit crossbars up to 3-7/8" wide x 1-1/4" tall. It's a bit bulkier than the BigStack but is foldable so you can close it up when not in use.

• Recommended Roof Rack For A 2018 Chevy Equinox Hauling A Kayak And Bike
  Hey William, If your 2018 Chevy Equinox has rails that run from front to back then I recommend the Yakima JetStream Crossbars # Y00425 and TimberLine Towers # Y33TR. If you have a naked roof then you'll need the following roof rack components: Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars # RRVA126B-2 Rhino-Rack 2500 Series Legs for Vortex Aero Crossbars # RRRLKVA Custom DK Fit Kit for 4 Rhino-Rack 2500 Series Roof Rack Legs # DK488 To haul the kayak you can can clamp on a carrier like the Rhino-Rack...

• Recommended Roof Rack And Kayak Carrier For 2015 Chrysler Town And Country
  We don't have any manufacturers that utilize the OEM fixed point system. If you are open to a clip on style attachment that is a custom fit for your vehicle, I recommend the Thule system. This roof rack consists of the Thule Wingbar Load Bars - Aluminum - 53" - Qty 2 # TH711420, the Thule Rapid Traverse Roof-Rack Foot Pack # TH480R, and the Thule Roof-Rack Fit Kit for Traverse Foot Packs # THKIT1043.

• Best Way to Carry 2 Kayaks on the Roof of a 2008 Lexus RX 350
  In order to carry two kayaks on the roof of your 2008 Lexus RX 350 with the factory roof rack, I recommend using two of the Rhino-Rack J-Style Kayak Carrier part # S512. This is an excellent system for you that will work well with the factory aero crossbars on your Lexus. The carrier has folding uprights that can be laid flat while not in use, rubber padding to protect the kayaks, and included tie downs to secure the kayaks to the carrier/vehicle. This is also going to be one of the most...

• Recommended Roof Rack, Cargo Box, and Towing Setup for 2017 Honda Pilot EX L
  Congrats on the purchase of your 2017 Honda Pilot. For your roof rack, the naked roof will require the custom door clips instead of the other options you mentioned. I recommend going with the Rhino-Rack ROC25 Roof Rack for Naked Roofs - Vortex Aero Crossbars - Aluminum - Black # RR73XR which is a clean look and comes with the locks to secure the rack to your roof. The bars will be 31-1/2 inches on center so I recommend using the Thule Pulse Large Rooftop Cargo Box - 16 cu ft - Matte...

• Will Rhino-Rack Kayak Rack - J-Style Hold Old Town Sportsman BigWater ePDL+ 132 Fishing Kayak
  Hi Jeff; it looks like that kayak weighs 143 lbs so the # S512 will not be able to handle it. The max capacity for this J-style carrier is 99 lbs. Since this is a fishing kayak I recommend using a saddle-style carrier like the # RR581 instead. This can hold as much as your roof rack so as long as your roof rack can handle the kayak so can the carrier. If you really want to try to use a J-style we have the # e98878 which has a weight capacity of 150 lbs.

• Recommended Roof Rack and Kayak Carrier for a 2014 Nissan Verse Note
  You are absolutely correct that for your 2014 Nissan Versa Note, you will need a roof rack and a kayak carrier. For your roof rack, I recommend the Thule WingBar Evo Crossbars, part # TH711220. They're aero-style crossbars with T-slots, making them compatible with a wide variety of accessories while cutting down on wind-noise and drag. To mount the crossbars, you will need the Evo Clamp Feet, part # TH710501, and the Fit Kit for Thule Evo Clamp Roof Rack Feet, part # TH145168. As for...

• Will the Rhino-Rack Kayak Roof Rack w/ Tie-Downs Work with My TruXedo TruXport Side Rail?
  Hello Brian, I am happy to see if it will work, but I am going to need a little more information. The part number # TX24NV is for a replacement side rail for a tonneau cover. What kind of tonneau cover set-up do you have on you GMC Sierra 1500, and what size bed is it? Do you have some kind of rack system going over the tonneau cover? Once I know what kind of system you are working with I am more than happy to let you know if the Rhino-Rack Kayak Roof Rack w/ Tie-Downs - J-Style - Folding...

• Roof Rack For Forest River No Boundaries With Rhino-Rack Tracks & Kayak Carrier
  Based on my research your Forest River No Boundaries should have Rhino-Rack tracks on top, so you'd just need the feet and then the appropriate length crossbars. Just measure between the tracks to get the right length, and you'll want the crossbars to be a bit longer than the track width. So here is what you'll need: - Rhino-Rack Quick Mount Legs # RRRLT600 - Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbar - 79" Long # RRVA200B-2, 71" Long # RRVA180B-2, or 65" Long # RRVA165B-2 Then for a kayak carrier,...

• Will the Rhino-Rack Kayak Roof Rack S512 Work w/ Honda Crossbars?
  Yes, it will! The Rhino-Rack Kayak Roof Rack w/ Tie-Downs item # S512 will fit the crossbars on your 2023 Honda CR-V. It uses brackets and hand knobs that have been confirmed to work with Honda's roof racks. The only thing this won't work with are square crossbars and Rhino-Rack's thicker HD crossbars. I have linked an installation video below so you can see how to get them set up.

• Will Rhino Rack for Camper Shells Fit ARE Cap
  The Rhino Rack Aero Bar Roof Rack for Camper Shells part # Y02-500B-ST that you referenced was designed to fit camper shells like your ARE so it would work great and also is compatible with the Rhino Rack kayak carrier part # S512. The part # Y02-500B-ST is designed for thicker camper shells which means it has different mounting hardware than the part # Y02-500B.

• Parts Needed To Carry 2 Kayaks On a Rhino Rack Pioneer Platform Roof Rack
  I can help you with carrying 2 kayaks but there are no carriers which mount directly to a Pioneer Platform # RR95TB. Instead you will need to mount the Accessory Bars # RR43138B to your platform. These bars are 53" long. This will then allow you to mount the Rhino-Rack Kayak Carrier # S512 using the Adapters # KC-FK8. The adapters change the kayak carrier to mount inside the channels of the accessory bars rather than having to clamp around a regular roof crossbar. So for carrying both your...
