Helpful Expert Reply:
The Stacker # TH830 will fit on your 2008 Nissan Xterra, however the Thule Xadapt3 # THXADAPT3, longer installation bolts, will be needed to fit around the Xterra's factory crossbars.
I spoke with my contact at Thule and he confirmed that The Stacker requires the Xadapt3 bolts for your Xterra.
The Stacker # TH830 comes with the tie-downs and bow and stern straps needed to secure 1 kayak. In order to secure the second kayak, you will need some additional straps. You can use the # TH855XT to secure the bow and stern, and 2 of the # 753-2030-02 to tie down the kayak. I also recommend using some Malone Hood Loops # MPG308 to provide an easy attachment point for the bow and stern tie downs for your kayaks.
