How To Carry 2 Kayaks And 1 SUP On A 2014 Jeep Cherokee
Question:
I need to fit 2 kayaks and 1 SUP on my 2014 Jeep Cherokee Latitude. I need crossbars and carriers for the kayaks and SUP. Im leaning toward the Malone Airflow2 crossbars. Im not sure the 50inch long MPG215 will give me enough room to fit everything so Im leaning toward the 58inch MPG216. Which configuration would you recommend crossbars + carriers to fit everything at once? Thanks.

If you are wanting to get two kayaks plus a SUP on the roof of your 2014 Jeep Charokee you are going to need a large amount of bar space. The largest I can find for your car is the 65" Malone Square Rail Roof Rack System # MPG203. With 65 inches of rail space you'll be able to fit the Yakima JayLow Kayak Carrier # Y04073. The JayLow will fit 2 kayaks and will wrap around your bars making it an easy install! It does come with straps and such to tie down one kayak but you will need to grab an extra set for the second kayak so here it is # Y04031
On the other side you can then put the Thule SUP Shuttle # TH811XT to take car of your one SUP. If you ever needed to haul two SUPs you can carry two with this carrier and all the straps are included for the SUP Shuttle.
This is the crossbar/carrier configuration that I would recommend for you! I've included a bunch of videos of all these products in action if your wanting to take a closer look!
