Will Thule Hullavator Fit The Yakima Round Crossbars Of The Kargo Master Congo On Jeep Wrangler
Question:
I have a 2012 Jeep Wrangler hardtop with round Yakima crossbars on my Kargo Master Congo frame. Will the Thule Hullavator kayak holders fit on my round Yakima bars?

Expert Reply:
Yes, The Thule Hullavator part # TH898 will fit the Yakima Round Bars of your Kargo Master Congo Frame on the 2012 Jeep Wrangler. However, the lift assist may not be as effective because the side rails of the Kargo Master Congo frame sit in farther on the roof compared to other side rails that are directly above the doors. Since your side rails sit in further the Hullavator will not extend as far down when you are loading the kayaks but it will still work.
If you want a load assist option that is taller, I recommend Malone DownLoader Kayak Carrier part # MPG114MD-351XL it comes with 2 J-Style Cradles, tie-downs and load assist arms that measure 98-1/4" long when extended that will help you get the kayaks on your bars since they are a farther away compared to other bars.
You also want to check the roof capacity of the Wrangler by checking the owner's manual or calling the dealership. Some Wrangler hardtops have a low weight capacity.
