Question:
Hello, Im trying to figure out what would be best to mount 2 sets of Thule Hullavator kayak mounts next to each other, on my Toyota Rav4 hybrid xse with factor flush mounts back to front. Thank you

Eric, that's going to be extremely difficult to do because of the overhang space needed for the Hullavator to work properly. I'd suggest using a J-style carrier like the etrailer Kayak Carrier w/ Tie-Downs # e98878, which you can use two on one set of crossbar.
Since you only have flush rails, you're also going to need a set of crossbars like the Thule WingBar Evo Roof Rack for Fixed Mounting Points # TH95YG.
What are your plans with the kayaks, anything cool planned? If you have any questions, feel free to drop a comment and let me know!

Hey Eric, how did things go with the J-style kayak carriers and the Thule WingBar Evo crossbars on your Rav4? Your update could make it easier for the next person trying to carry two kayaks on a similar setup.
