We offer a variety of kayak carriers that will fit your 2014 Jeep Cherokee with factory roof rack crossbars.

A great option for transporting two kayaks is the Thule Stacker # TH830. This unit can transport up to 4 kayaks up to 10-feet in length. Its requires your crossbar spread be 24-inches minimum. The linked video illustrates the features and operation. It includes 1 pair of ratcheting tie downs, 2 straps, and buckle protectors, but for the second kayak you will need additional bow/stern tie downs # 753-2030-02 or similar item.

You'll want to check your owner's manual or speak to your dealership regarding the Cherokee's roof weight bearing limit to ensure you do not exceed this. You'll want to include the weight of the carrier (8-lbs for the Stacker) along with the kayaks' actual combined weight.

A video for the carrier is linked for your reference along with a helpful article.
