Can 2 Thule Hullavator Pro Kayak Carriers be Used on a 2007 Toyota FJ Cruiser
Question:
I am looking to add two Hullavator Pro Kayap Carriers to the roof of my 2007 FJ Cruiser. I currently do not have any roof rack, naked roof. What are my options?

We do have a few ways to carry your kayaks with your 2007 Toyota FJ Cruiser but since the Thule Hullavator Pro # TH898 requires that the roof rack have a weight capacity of 130 lbs and crossbars that hang over the legs by 4" - 8" we unfortunately don't have a setup for you to use the Hullavator Pro.
Instead what you can use is the Malone DownLoader Kayak Carrier # MPG114MD which allows you to use the Malone TelosXL Load Assist Module # MPG351XL. This doesn't use gas struts like the Hullavator Pro but it still features a lift assist for easier kayak loading.
For a roof rack I recommend the Rhino-Rack that consists of the 59" Silver # RRVA150S-2 or Black # RRVA150B-2 Aero bars, the 2500 Series Legs # RRRLKVA, and the Fit Kit # DK244.
