Question:

I have 3 kayaks : 12ft perception pescador, 12 ft sit-in fishing kayak and Hobie mirage compas a little heavier than the other 2. Id need to carry one or 2 kayaks using my Malone Airflow2 58. The 14inch foam blocks I dont fit well because the Airflow2 are thicker/wider than the stock roof racks. Im also considering using Malone J Pro and Malone Seawing. What would you recommend ?

Expert Reply:

The Malone J-Pro2 Kayak Carrier part # MPG117MD is going to be your best option to carry two kayaks on the roof of your 2018 Toyota 4Runner. The J-Pro2 has a weight capacity of 75 lbs but you will need to make sure the weight of the two kayaks, roof rack, and carriers do not exceed the weight capacity of the vehicle's roof which is often different (less) than that of a roof rack like your Malone AirFlow2 Roof Rack part # MPG216.

The J-Pro2 has padded uprights to protect the kayak's finish, come with all of the tie-down's needed to secure them, and have a lifetime warranty.
