Parts Needed to Carry 2 kayaks on 2014 Subaru Outback with Factory Crossbars

Question:

Hi there, I have a 2014 outback with factory crossbars. I have two kayaks, one is a necky that is 14foot long and 24inch wide and the the other is about 13.5 foot long and 30inch wide. Which kayak attachment do you recommend to most easily and securely attach these two kayaks to my car? Thank you!

Because these are rather large kayaks, it's probably going to be best to use two separate carriers; I'll also mention that you should make sure that the weight of these two kayaks don't weigh more than the capacity of your roof and factory crossbars.

With that said, you can use two of the Rhino Rack J Style Carriers # S512 on your 2014 Subaru Outback's factory crossbars to carry your kayaks. These fold down for easily for storage or just to stay out of the way when pulling into your garage when not in use and will provide you with an extremely durable solution.The J-style carriers come with straps included so you'll have everything you need to safely carry the kayaks on your vehicle. These carries can handle kayaks up to 99-lbs each.
