Hi Ken; we have kayak carriers here at etrailer that will allow you to carry your two kayaks on the Rack and Roll # Y08106. If you want the kayak carrier from the # Y64TR that is the Yakima JayLow # Y04073. This can carry 1 or 2 kayaks if you add some extra tie-downs # Y04031. If you want a different style you could use two of the Yakima SweetRoll # Y04074 as well.

Hey Ken, how did the kayak carriers work out on your Yakima Rack and Roll trailer? Did the JayLow or SweetRoll setup end up being the better fit for your two kayaks? Your update could make it easier for the next person with the same trailer.

Answer 5

The 78 inch Yakima Rack n Roll trailer #Y08107 is actually wider overall than its 66 inch counterpart, #Y08106. So it is not just the crossbars. Because the price difference between the 2 is minimal it would be more beneficial to just go with the 78…

I do have an option for you but the only way you'll get away with carrying four total kayaks hull down is a double decker trailer like the Yakima EasyRider Double Decker Trailer part #Y08129. The lower deck is only 54" wide so you'll…

While there isn't a life expectancy, per se, of the shocks on the Yakima Rack and Roll Trailer - 66" #Y08106 and 78" #Y08107, upgrading to the HD shocks is absolutely a good idea if your gear weighs around 200 llbs and certainly…
