Saddle Style Kayak Carrier That Fits 1-3/4" Diameter Round Bars

Question

Question:

I have a jeep JKU with Garvin Adventure Roof Rack. This has tubes that are about 1-3/4inch diameter. I am trying to find a set of kayak saddles. You have a number of promising models but none of the writeups or installation manuals state how large of a *round* tube they can clamp on to. Do you have any advice?

I spoke to my contact at Rhino-Rack and they informed me that the Rhino-Rack Nautic Roof Kayak Carrier part # RR570 will fit the 1-3/4" diameter round crossbars on your Jeep if you use the Heavy-Duty Crossbar Adapter Kit for Rhino-Rack Ski and Snowboard Carriers and Fairings part # HD-FK1.

The above kit comes with tie down straps but I also recommend using the Rhino-Rack Anchor Strap part # RRRBAS-2 to further secure the bow/stern of the kayak to the vehicle.

I have attached a review video of the carrier for you as well.

For a roof rack to be compatible on your 2020 Jeep Wrangler with Sky One-Touch Power Top, it can't be mounted on the top of the roof and it needs to be high enough for the folding roof to clear. What you need are tall gutter-mounted roof racks.…
