Review of Malone Watersport Carriers - Kayak SUP J Style Storage Rack - MPG344

Hi, everybody. Andy here with etrailer.com, and today we're gonna take a look at this Malone Kayak storage rack. This storage rack holds one kayak up to 100 pounds on the wall of your garage, boathouse or shed, and this is a one-inch round steel tube that has a powder coat finish for indoor or outdoor installation, and the frame here, the J-style hooks are fully padded to protect your kayak from scratches or scuffs. I'm just trying to give you an overview here of one of these. Now I took some measurements earlier, and I noticed that the J-style hook here will stick out about 15 inches or so from the wall that you have it mounted on. The overall height from top to the bottom of the hook, we're sitting at about 25 inches tall and these brackets, they measure three inches square. more

Hi everyone. Aiden here with etrailer. Today we're gonna be taking a look at and showing you how the Yakima JayLow J-Style kayak carrier fits on top of our 2022 Ford Maverick. With this being a J-Style kayak carrier it's gonna be shaped kind of like a J and hold the kayak more upright like you see here. Personally, J-Style is one of my favorites just because it cradles the kayak really well. Makes a lot of contact with the hole of the boat for a very solid fit. more

So if you wanted to take more than just the one kayak with us, we could very easily get another one of these carriers on the other side of our Maverick and get two to wherever we're going. more

First thing we need to do to get the kayak removed is to get all our straps taken off. There are four straps included, including the bow and stern straps.

Now in general, I like J style kayak carriers because of the room they give you on your roof to put other accessories whether it be another kayak, a basket, or a box. And they just hold the kayak really well. You can see this is solid up there. Everything is cradled in really nicely, and the strap kit does a really good job of holding it down into those cradles, keeping things solid on the roof. more

Thule The Stacker Rooftop Kayak Carrier Review - 2014 Toyota Prius v- Video

Thule The Stacker Rooftop Kayak Carrier Review - 2014 Toyota Prius v

Hey everyone, it's Evangeline here at etrailer. And today we're gonna talk about how the Thule The Stacker kayak carrier fits on the 2014 Toyota Prius v. This is actually my car and I was very surprised to see how many kayaks I could fit on top of the car. So, I'll tell you what I did to make this happen, what are the dimensions and how to tie it down properly. So the roof rack I have on the Prius v is the Inno Aero roof rack with the 54 inch long crossbars and the Through feet. So you can use this with other types of crossbars too, if your crossbars are not longer than 54 inches though or if you have kayaks that are wider than mine this might not work out as well for you. more

Hi, everyone. Aiden here with etrailer.com. And today we're gonna be taking a look at the Kuat Class 4 J-Style Kayak Carrier here on our 2021 Toyota 4Runner. Now, personally I really like J-style kayak carriers in general, just because of the way they hold the kayak. Upright like this leaving more space on your roof for other accessories whether it be a second kayak, a basket, a box, anything that you might wanna put up there, you're gonna have that extra room on the crossbars to put it. In addition, I feel like the J-style kayak carrier holds it really solid as well, everything's cradled in there really nicely, and with all the really nice straps included with this, everything is held in really solid. more

Hi everyone, it's Evangeline here at etrailer, and today, we'll be taking a look at our Kuat Class 4 V2 Kayak Carrier on our 2015 Kia Sorento. What we have here is gray, we can also get it in black. With its raised rails and good roof size, the Kia Sorento was a great option as the vehicle to carry our kayaks to the water. Now, we brought out a bunch of different kayak carriers onto the Sorento, and the Kuat Class 4 V2 Kayak Carrier is probably one of my favorites for the mid-range price point, that's because there's a lot of fun features there, making it easier for you to strap down your kayak, but also creating a nice, stable surface, so we'll talk about that, but we're gonna focus on our vehicle, so you can see how it works with it. So the way this mounts to your vehicle is you need to have crossbars and a roof rack system, if you don't already have one for your Sorento, get one, you can find it here on our fit guide at etrailer.com. Now, this will fit most of your crossbars and roof rack systems, because it has straps and clamps, but it also has a T-track kit included with your carrier. more
