Best Rhino-Rack Kayak Carrier and Roof Rack Combination for a 2011 Kia Soul

Question:

Will this kayak rack be the best for the 2011 Kia Soul Roof Rack by Rhino Rack that you sell? Thanks!

Yes, the Rhino-Rack J-Style Kayak Carrier, # S512, is one of the best options for you to use with a Rhino-Rack roof rack on your 2011 Kia Soul. If you are also shopping for the roof rack, then I recommend the Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero roof rack which consists of the following parts:

Vortex Aero Crossbars # RRVA126S-2 (Silver) or # RRVA126B-2 (Black)
2500 Series Legs # RRRLKVA
Custom Fit Kit # DK237

If you plan on carrying more than just 1 kayak, I recommend using the Yakima JayLow, # Y04073, which can carry two kayaks side by side. You'll need a second set of tie-downs using part #

What can fit on rhino rack roof racks? My husband and I are thinking of buying one before we head down to California on vacation.

Just about any product that will work with oval or aero bars will work with a Rhino Rack roof rack system. Rhino Rack offers a whole line of accessories that will definitely work with their roof rack systems including roof boxes, roof bags, bike racks, ski/snowboard carriers and kayak carriers. I have added a link to our Rhino Rack page where you can take a look at their offerings.
