Will a J-Style Kayak Carrier Fit a 2012 Nissan Xterra Pro 4X Factory Crossbars

Updated 05/01/2018 | Published 04/29/2018

Question:

I am interested in getting two of the systems to carry a pair of Feelfree Lure 11.5 kayaks - the kayaks are 36 inches wide and 75lbs each. Will these systems fit side by side on Nissan Xterras factory crossbars?

The Rhino-Rack J-Style Kayak Carrier # S512 is a likely fit for the factory crossbars on your 2012 Nissan Xterra but Rhino-Rack doesn't have any fit data for factory roof racks. But Thule does and they do list the Hull-A-Port, # TH834, as a fit for your vehicle. A single J-style carrier will not have the capacity for two 75 pound kayaks so you would need to have 2 of them.
