Question:

I want to install two hullarators for two kayaks on my 2000 4runner with factory tracks what parts do I need for the roof rack

Expert Reply:

I do have a solution for you to use 2 of the Thule Hullavator Pro # TH898 carriers on your 2000 Toyota 4Runner but unfortunately there are no roof rack fits from Thule.

The best roof rack for your application is the 66" Round Crossbars # Y00410 (add end caps with part # Y8007026), the SkyLine Towers # Y53TR, the RoundBar SL Adapter # Y03536, and the Landing Pad 1 # Y00221.

The Hullavator requires about 31" of crossbar space and needs to stick out from your vehicle at least 4". You can use an aero style of bar, but I am not sure if that will fit properly as the size you need is the 70" JetStream Bars # Y00427 for Black or # Y00430 for Silver. This setup would also include the same SkyLine Towers # Y00148, and the Landing Pad 1 # Y00221.

If you would like to add locks to the system then you also need the SKS Lock Cores # Y07204.

Please be mindful of the roof weight capacity of your vehicle as the Hullavator alone weighs 40 lbs. Adding 2 of them to your roof will eat up 80 lbs of weight capacity.
