• Ladder Rack and Kayak Carrier for a 2019 Ford F-150
  Yakima does not sell pads for the JayHook Kayak Carrier, part # Y04084. However, this carrier is already padded on all points where contact with the kayak is made, and it is a great choice to transport you kayaks. I've linked to a video review of this carrier for you to look at. As for the crossbars for your 2019 Ford F-150 with a 5-1/2 foot bed, the Yakima OverHaul HD Adjustable Truck Bed Ladder Rack, part # Y01151-59, is also a great choice. I've linked to a video review of this as well.

• 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.

• Carrying Two Kayaks on the Roof of a 2017 Ford Fusion
  You can angle two kayak carriers towards each other to carry them on the roof at the same time. You'll need a roof rack to mount the carriers on. The Yakima JayHook, part # Y04084 is a great example of a universally compatible kayak carrier that can do this. If you don't already have a roof rack, I recommend adding the Rhino Rack Vortex kit, consisting of: Rhino Rack Vortex Crossbars, part # RRVA126B-2 Rhino-Rack 2500 Series Vortex Legs, part # RRRLKVA Rhino-Rack DK Fit Kit...

• Kayak Carrier Recommendation that Can Accomodate Crossbar that is 1-1/2 inch Tall
  1.5 inch tall crossbars are going to be too tall for our j-style kayak carriers to attach to. We do have a foam block style of kayak carrier that can fit a taller bar though as the Malone kayak carrier # MPG159.

• Roof Rack and Kayak Carrier for 2011 Honda CR-V
  There is a roof rack fit for your 2011 Honda CR-V, which will have fixed mounting points to attach a roof rack (like in the accompanying photo). I recommend the Yakima Jetstream roof rack, which consists of Crossbars # Y00425, SkyLine Towers # Y00148 and Landing Pad # Y00234. This will give you a roof rack with aero bars to minimize the amount of wind noise and drag that you would encounter with other crossbar styles. You can then use the Yakima JayHook Kayak Carrier with Tie-Downs #...

• Yakima Kayak Carrier Recommendation to fit Aero Shaped Crossbars
  Yakima doesn't have any adapters for any of their racks that were made 18 years ago to fit them onto elliptical shaped crossbars like what you have. Best option would be to go with a new J-style carrier that fits the bar shape. For that we have the Yakima carrier # Y04084 which would work well.

• 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.

• Can 4 Kayaks be Carried on Malone XtraLight Trailer
  Yes, you can definitely use your Malone XtraLight to carry 4 kayaks! To do this I recommend using 4 sets of the Yakima JayHook Kayak Carrier # Y04084 which comes with it's own set of tie-downs. For a more economical option you could use the Yakima BigStack # Y04041 with the extra set of tie-downs # Y05006, but this will be a little bit more of a hassle when loading and unloading your kayaks. Attached are some review videos that you can check out.

• Best J-Style Kayak Carrier To Use With Yakima Round Bar Roof Rack

• Roof Rack Options for Loading 2 Kayaks onto a 2018 Honda Civic 4dr
  The first thing to look at is the roof capacity of your vehicle. The combined weight of the rack, 2 kayak carriers, and a pair of 64 pound kayaks is a concern. I confirmed the roof capacity is 110 pounds on the 2018 Civic Sedan. A better option and my recommendation is carrying your 2 kayaks on a Malone MicroSport Trailer designed for 2 Kayaks # MPG461G2. If you don't already have a tow package or hitch on your Civic, it requires a tow hitch like the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver...

• Roof Rack Recommendation to Carry Kayak on 2012 Honda Accord Coupe
  There are a couple of great roof racks for your 2012 Honda Accord coupe, though you will need to use one that mounts to a bare roof as there are not custom installation options. Roof racks that attach to your bare roof mostly use clamps and have rubber pads that protect your car's finish. If you did not want to use a rack that clamps there is an option for you, the SeaSucker Monkey Bars Roof Rack # 298-SX6000B. This rack uses vacuum cups that securely attach them to your Accord's roof...

• 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...

• Is the Yakima JayHook Kayak Carrier Compatible with Universal MightyMounts # Y03590
  The JayHook, # Y04084, uses the Jay Cradle mounting hardware which fits the same crossbar dimensions as the MightyMounts. This particular carrier is not compatible with the MightyMounts. Yakima has and has had in the past numerous J-Style kayak carriers. Do you maybe have a different model that looks similar to the JayHook? The JayHook replaced the HullRaiser Aero but even it used similar mounting hardware as the JayHook. The original HullRaiser could be used with MightyMounts, just...
