Parts Needed to Secure Kayaks and Ladders to Thule Xsporter Ladder Rack
Question:
Can you make a recommendation for accessories for a Thule Xsporter Pro? I carry two extension ladders on my truck a few days a week. I also want to be able to carry a white water kayak or two occasionally. I want to be able to either use carrying accessories that will accomodate both or ones that switch out quickly. Thoughts?

Expert Reply:
The Thule Xsporter Pro part # TH500XT that you referenced comes with load stops on the crossbars already so that would be the base for how you would want to carry the ladders. If you needed replacement load stops or wanted an additional set you'd want the part # 753-3761. For straps then to hold the ladders to the rack the part # IMF12636 would be a great option as well.
For a kayak carrier the Hull-A-Port part # TH834 and the adapter # THXADAPT3 would be a great way to carry each of your kayaks as well. The adapter is needed so that the rack can fit the channels on top of the crossbars.
