For your A.R.E. MX cap, I recommend the Rhino-Rack RT-Style Roof Rack Tracks - Rivet Mount - 81" Long - Qty 2 # RRRTV208 which you can cut to length if you desire.

For your system due to the length, I recommend you go with 3 crossbars to cover that spread. To do this, I recommend the Rhino-Rack Quick Mount Legs for Vortex Aero Crossbars - RTC and RT Roof Rack Tracks - Qty 4 # RRRLT600 and add the Rhino-Rack Quick Mount Legs for Vortex Aero Crossbars - RTC and RT Roof Rack Tracks - Qty 2 # RRRLT600H. Then for the bars, I recommend the Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars - Aluminum - Black - 59" Long - Qty 3 # RRVA150B-3 and add the metal lock cores # RRVA-LEC4 and # RRVA-LEC2.

For your kayak carrier, I recommend the Yakima JayLow Kayak Carrier w/ Tie-Downs - J-Style - Folding - Side Loading # Y04073. I recommend getting two sets to carry such large kayaks to secure them well.
