Hey Thomas,

The Yakima carrier you referenced will not fit a 3" x 1-1/2" crossbar, though there is a saddle style that will. You'll have to use longer bolts sold separately, but if that's okay what you can use is the following:

- Rhino-Rack Nautic Roof Kayak Carrier # RR571

- Heavy-Duty Crossbar Adapter Kit # HD-FK1

Thanks very much Kyle. Are there any rollers that would fit on a 3 inch x 1.5 inch bar? Does Rhino rack have a roller option that would fit?

@TomF I looked but unfortunately there are not any rolling type carriers that would fit. There is a roller load assist you can use separately though, the Malone # MAL48FR.
