Question:

2022 Jeep Wrangler Sahara unlimited four door. I want to get roof racks that hold around 120 lbs and a double kayak rack to put on the cross bars. There are so many choices and I can’t narrow down what will work best for me. Can you recommend heavy duty cross bars and kayak racks to haul two 11 ft Kayaks on my Jeep? I will probably need a third rack at the rear to help pull the kayak off the roof without damaging the Jeep roof. Any guidance you can provide is greatly appreciated.

Helpful Expert Reply:

For a heavy duty roof rack system for your 2022 Jeep Wrangler Sahara Unlimited I recommend the following parts:

Rhino-Rack Heavy-Duty Roof Rack Crossbars - Black - 59" Long - Qty 3 # RB1500B-3
RCL Legs for Rhino-Rack Crossbars and Pioneer Platforms - Fixed Mounting Points - Qty 6 # RRRCL6
Rhino-Rack Backbone Roof Rack Mounting System # RRRJLB1
Roof Rack Leg Spacer Blocks for Rhino-Rack Heavy-Duty Crossbars - 5 mm Thick - Qty 6 # RRQMHD05-3

This roof rack system is going to come with three crossbars, like you were needing, to help keep your kayak's from touch the roof of your Jeep.

I also recommend our Telesteps Folding Step Stool # TE97FR for a small foldable step to easily reach your kayaks and make loading and unloading a breeze.

For the kayak carrier I recommend the Thule Compass Kayak and SUP Carrier w/ Tie-Downs # TH890000. It's adjustable design allows you to haul one or both of your kayaks and has a maximum weight capacity of 130lbs.
