Question:

I have a two door Jeep with a Rhino Rack with backbone installed. Can I install two Hullinvators that will enable carrying two Eddylines?

I have a solution for you. on your two-door 2016 Jeep Wrangler, you cannot attach a Thule Hullavator # TH898 directly to a Rhino-Rack Backbone Mounting System like the # RRRJKB2. Also, if you have a Rhino-Rack Pioneer Platform like the # RR33QX, there is no way to securely attach a Hullavator to the platform.

The best route forward if you have a Pioneer Platform is to use the Accessory Bars # RR43138B to attach to your platform and use a kayak carrier like the Rhino-Rack 2 Kayak Carrier w/ Tie-Downs - J-Style - Folding - Side Loading # S512-S512X. The great thing about the Rhino-Rack kayak carrier is that it comes with all straps required to secure your 2 Eddyline kayaks.
