Q: What product do you sell that can carry 2 kayaks? Total weight around 125 lbs??
A: This will only support up to 88 lbs and will not be able to support 125 lbs for the 2 kayaks.
Q: I am looking for a solution to carry 2 kayaks. Weight of each Kayak is 40 pounds. Is that too close to the max load weight of 88 pounds? Or should I look at something else??
A: Two kayaks at 40 lbs each should not present an issue for the 2 Bar Roof Rack, however if using a Kayak mount, this may push you past the load rating.
Q: Will this hold and attach to a Yakima carrier?
A: Unfortunately, we have not test fit these Roof Rack Carrier Bars with any Yakima baskets. However, if the baskets are made for universal fitment there should not be any issue with using these roof rack bars.
Q: Hi, I understand that 2 Bar roof rack sit on the hardtop rain gutters. My question is - do you know what the weight capacity is for a 2017 Jeep Wrangler JK Sport Unlimited hard top roof and how much weight can the rain gutters hold? Because all the weight is sitting on the roof rack/cross bars and the removable hard top is essentially bearing the weight of whatever cargo I will have in a cargo box on the racks,my concern is that the roof of the jeep will not be structurally sound. Can you tell me how much weight the hard top can support?
A: The 2 Bar Roof Rack features an 88lb weight limit due to the way it installs on the rain gutters.
Q: What is the added height once installed? from roof to the top of the rack?
A: The 2 Bar Roof Rack will increase vehicle clearance height by 4.0".
Q:The installation video notes there is a front and back bar, and it looks like they are slightly different lengths. So, can these bars be positioned so they are both behind the Freedom Panels? If I typically keep the bars on, then I don't want to have to remove one every time I want to take the Freedom Panels off.
A: These can not be installed in a more rearward position, since two pieces are divided into front and back, the front is short, if it is moved to the back, it is not long enough and cannot be installed.
PS: Labels are affixed to the products to help you correct installation.
Q:Will this mount to the rain gutter on my soft top door surrounds?
A: This rack will only be compatible with a hard top and will not work with the soft top door surrounds.
Q:Will this roof rack work if i take the hard top off and doors and leave the door surrounds on?
A: No, the 2 Bar Roof Rack requires the hard top to be on.
