Recommended Roof Rack For 2013 Jeep Grand Cherokee And Compatible 2 Kayak Carrier
Question:
I own a 2013 Jeep Grand Cherokee that does not have a luggage rack. Instead, it has two decorative rails. Im buying two 10.5 ft. kayaks and want to buy a rack I can use on my Jeep. Can you steer me toward a compatible rack?

Expert Reply:
For your 2013 Jeep Grand Cherokee that has the flush mounted rails, I recommend the Thule roof Rack consisting of the Thule Wingbar Load Bars - Aluminum - Black - 60" - Qty 2 # TH711520, the Rapid Traverse Roof-Rack Foot Pack # TH480R, and the Thule Roof Rack Fit Kit for Traverse Foot Packs # THKIT1656. This will give you a roof rack confirmed to fit your vehicle.
For a compatible kayak carrier, I recommend the Thule Hull-A-Port Kayak Carrier w/Tie-Downs - J-Style - Fixed - Side Loading # TH834 along with the Watersports Adapter for Aeroblade/Aeroblade Edge Bars # THXADAPT11 for each of your kayaks.
Another great option I recommend is the Rhino-Rack J-Style Kayak Carrier - Folding - Universal Mount # S512 and the Expansion Arm for Rhino-Rack J-Style Kayak Carrier # RRS512X for the second kayak. This comes with the tie-down straps you need
