• Cost-Effective Recommendations to Carry 1 Kayak and 2 Bikes with a 2017 Subaru Impreza Sedan
  I checked out the OEM roof rack for your 2017 Subaru Impreza that you inquired about and it doesn't quite look like any of the roof racks that we have to offer. Typically OEM roof racks will get the job done, but going with a brand like Thule or Yakima will last much longer due to the quality of the work. With that being said, the most cost effective roof rack that we currently have to offer for your Impreza is the Inno square bar roof rack which consists of the Crossbars # INB127, Inno...

• Recommended Roof Rack and Kayak Carriers for 2008 Toyota RAV4
  For your 2008 Toyota RAV4, you can use the longer crossbars you referenced. The restriction in most states is that the crossbars can't exceed the side mirrors. It sounds like you already have a factory roof rack which means you have the raised side rails. My recommendation for your desired roof rack is the Rhino-Rack SX Series Legs for Vortex Aero Crossbars - Raised Factory Side Rails - Qty 4 # RRSX100 and the Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars - Aluminum - Black - 65" Long - Qty 2 #...

• Recommended Roof Rack and Kayak Carrier for a 2007 Buick LaCrosse
  In order to carry a kayak on your 2007 Buick LaCrosse you will first need to start off with a roof rack for which I recommend using the SportRack Semi-Custom Roof Rack part # SR1002 because it is a great, easy to use, price-point option for you.

• Recommendation for a Kayak Carrier to Fit the Factory Crossbars of a 2008 Nissan Pathfinder
  The Thule Top Deck Kayak Carrier with Tie-Downs, # TH881, will fit the factory crossbars on your 2008 Nissan Pathfinder. The kayak carrier uses an U-bolt designed universal mount that fits most crossbars. The carrier also includes straps to help further secure your kayak to your vehicle.

• Replacement Carriage Bolts For Thule Top Deck Kayak Carrier To Fit Xsporter Ladder Rack Crossbars
  The carriage bolts that are included with the Thule Top Deck Kayak Carrier, part # TH881 are M6 x 50 mm. Depending on the length you need we do offer longer carriage bolts from Thule. For a carriage bolt that is just a little over 1/2 inch longer than the bolts you have you can order part # 915-066-554. This is an M6 x 65 mm bolt. If you need it even longer than that we also offer a carriage bolt that is M6 x 75 mm, part # TH915-0675-11, which would be nearly an inch longer than the...

  All of the current Thule Saddle-style kayak carriers like the Thule TopDeck, part # TH881 include wide brackets that are designed to fit most factory crossbars without any special adapters. The limit on these models are crossbars equal to or smaller than 3-1/2 inches wide by 1-1/2 inches tall. If you have an older model, reply to this with a picture of it and I can better recommend a solution for you.

• Kayak Carrier Recommendation for Rhino Rack Aero 2500 Bars on a 2011 Toyota Corolla
  For a similar kayak carrier that is confirmed to fit your Rhino Rack Aero 2500 crossbars check out the Rhino-Rack Nautic Roof Kayak Carrier part # RR571. Your cross bars are 3-1/2 inches wide whereas the Thule Top Deck Kayak Carrier # TH881 can only accommodate up to 3 inch wide crossbars so it would not work for you. I spoke to my contact at Rhino Rack and he informed me that the # RR571 does not necessarily have a weight capacity. You would be limited to the capacity of the crossbars...

• Using the Thule XSporter Ladder Rack on a 2017 Toyota Tacoma to Carry a Kayak and Bikes
  When installing the Thule XSporter Pro, part # TH500XTB-THXK4B on your 2017 Toyota Tacoma with a BedRug, like the complete kit for bare/spray in liners, part # BRY19DCK, you may need to measure and cut away the top of the bedrug to allow the clamps to attach to your bedrails, depending on the fit. The posts of the XSporter should move easily enough as they sit inside the bed about 1 inch. For the Thule Peloton, you'll need part # THXADAPT9 to properly fit to the XSporter bars, as its...

The total weight of the racks and load must not exceed the weight limit recommendation of the rack manufacturer or that of the vehicle manufacturer...

• Kayak Carriers for a 2008 Subaru Outback Wagon with Factory Roof Rack
  The 100 pound capacity on the 2008 Subaru Outback Wagon most likely refers to the system as a whole. In all probability they took the lowest rated component in the system, either the roof, the side rails, or the crossbars, and went by that rating for the whole system. You may be able to find the capacity of each separate component in the owners manual or by contacting a dealership. But even if you were to add different crossbars like the Thule SquareBars, # TH712100, Thule still states...

• Fit of Thule Top Deck Rooftop Kayak Carrier on 2014 Subaru Outback with OEM Roof Rack
  According to Thule, their Top Deck Rooftop Kayak Carrier is indeed a fit for the crossbars on your 2014 Outback. The mounts will fit crossbar profiles that are up to 3 inches wide and 1-1/4 inches thick. The Top Deck carrier includes the saddles, mounting hardware, straps and bow/ stern die-downs. I also recommend the Malone T-Style Hood Loops, part # MPG308. These quick loops will close in the hood and rear hatch openings, and provide a good attachment point so the metal hooks for the...

• Recommended Roof Kayak Carrier For Square Crossbars
  You will need a kayak carrier that will fit square bars, since that's what you have on your SportRack Roof Rack # SR1002. The Thule Top Deck # TH881 is a great single kayak carrier. It secures the kayak on it's haul with rubber padded saddles to protect it. The Top Deck also comes with all the necessary straps and tie-downs you'll need.

• Will Two 9-Foot Kayaks Fit in Thule Kayak Carriers on SportRack Roof Rack on a 2012 Toyota Corolla
  The SportRack semi-custom roof rack # SR1002 will fit your 2012 Toyota Corolla and can be used to carry kayaks. But as far as your Thule kayak carriers go it depends on which carriers you have. If they only fit square bars then they will not fit the SportRack bars because of the differences in size between the bars. But if you have any of the following carriers, they will fit: The Stacker, # TH830 Hull-A-Port Pro, # TH834 Top Deck, # TH881 Slipstream, # TH887XT Roll Model, # TH884 Be...

• Can a Canoe and Kayak be Carried at the Same Time on a 2015 Subaru Outback Wagon
  Thule does have fit information for the 2015 Subaru Outback. Depending on how much space is available on the factory crossbars and the capacity of the factory roof rack you might be able to get both a kayak and canoe on the roof. The kayak can be carried on its side using The Stacker, # TH830. This will allow for the most amount of space for the canoe. And then for the canoe I recommend the Portage # TH819. Since you haven't purchased the vehicle yet you can compare the overall width...

• Saddle Style Kayak Carrier that is Easier to Load from Rear than Thule Top Deck
  For a rear loading application the better choice for a saddle style kayak carrier similar to the Thule you mentions is the Rhino Rack part # RR571. The rear saddles have felt on them which allows the kayak to easily slide forward into position. The rear saddles of the Sportrack would be more challenging to slide on so it wouldn't be your best choice. I attached a review video for this carrier for more info on it as well.

• Recommended Kayak Rack For 2014 Jeep Wrangler 2 Door
  If your 2014 Jeep is a soft top, I recommend the Thule Evo Feet # TH710401 that clamp onto your roll bars and the # TH711420 Aero Crossbars. If your wrangler is a hard top, I recommend the Thule Rapid feet that connect to the rain gutters # TH65BJ along with the Aero Crossbars # TH711520. I recommend using the locks # TH450400 to secure the roof rack and then the Thule Top Deck # TH881 or the Thule Hull-A-Port # TH834 for a side loading J-style mount.
