Recommended Kayak Carrier for 2 Kayaks On A 2018 Subaru Outback

Question:

I just ordered 2 12-foot Kayaks. My first choice is to horizontal carry, but I think that will not work. So, I was looking for a recommendation for 2 complete kayak J carriers that will fit my Subaru. My Subaru has factory installed cross bars and I want to be able to carry both kayaks at same time.

My recommendation is the etrailer J-Style Kayak Carrier - Folding - Universal Mount, part # e98878. The same carrier you attached to your question. This carrier will be able to attach to your factory rack crossbars. It comes with two cam straps with padded buckles and bow and stern tie-downs.

I have included a video of this kayak carrier being installed on a 2021 Subaru Outback Wagon below.
