Can Yakima JayLow Kayak Carrier be Used with Malone Telos XL Load Assist

Question

Question:

I have Yakima JayLow. Intent is get Telos XL to help load 2 kayaks on Honda Pilot. We do use 08L02-TG7-100C Honda roof rack. The concern is if the Universal adapter MPG368 for both sides in addition to the JayLow will not fit the length of the roof rack. The hope is if the adapter will be able to slide under the nose of the JayLow. Thanks Martin

Hey Martin, so you did your homework on this but yes you can use the Telos lift assist part # MPG351XL with your Yakima JayLow kayak carrier as long as you also get the universal roof rack adapter part # MAL95VR.

This adapter would give you the additional length needed to get over the side of your rack since it's an OEM set of crossbars.

For use with your Thule J-style kayak carriers we have the Rhino Rack load assist part #RR-RUSL that will work great and make loading the kayaks easier, but the Malone Telos XL Load Assist part #MPG351XL that you referenced only can be used on the…

Hey Jeffrey, The instructions for the Rhino-Rack Universal Load Assist #RR-RUSL do not include mounting to the Yakima JetStream crossbars. I checked with Rhino-Rack and they do not have those crossbars as compatible with this load assist so I…

I checked to see if there was conversion kit to convert your Malone high bed trailer to a low bed #MPG464-LB. I know this isn't going to be ideal, but what you can do is reuse the U-bolts from the cross bars you have now, and reattach the cross…
