It looks like you may have sent me the wrong ones. The ones you sent have a giant hole and look like the ones that are intended for truck racks. They don’t fit my Subaru at all.

I am so sorry to hear that! I will make sure the correct ones are sent out to you.



by:

We purchased these foam blocks (2) to carry our large Perception Tribe double kayak on our Honda CRV. They are perfect! Because our kayak is so wide and has a rather flat bottom, we needed long blocks Without a large U-shape curve to them. The 24” length and the slight V-shape indent are perfect to provide the support and stability we need on our roof rack crossbars. The shorter blocks we had tried previously allowed the kayak to rock too much. The blocks have a nice large opening for the crossbar. The foam material is quite stiff, so it does take some effort to get the block onto the crossbar, but once there, it is very stable. We just received them and have only used them once. We are anxious to see how well they hold up over time, being put on and taken off frequently.



by:

As a single older woman, I found the foam pads difficult to put on my roof rack, but managed with the aid of a broom handle. Once on, and maneuvering my new kayak up on to them, I am very pleased with the end result! The pads provide the cushion and protection I had wanted for both the boat and my Subaru roof rack. Thank you.



by:

We needed high density foam in a long length to fit our kayaks. The product was exactly as described and at 24" long actually fits out kayaks. We received it fast too!



by:

As usual, fast shipping, great tracking and superb product.



by:

This is not universal I struggled to get the blocks to fit my Thule Track rack. I would not recommend for a Thule rack.

Thank you for your review. The opening for the bar measures 1 inch in height by a little over 3 inches in length. I recommend to measure the roof rack bars before trying these.

Made these work on my Thule and then Velcro strapped them down and they work great.



by:

This product worked very well for me. The material is more dense than I expected which is good. It gives enough to support my kayak but not enough to allow the hull to be damaged in any way by the underlying support.

Walter

I still use it and it works fine.



by:

Very happy with these blocks. THey fit snug on my trailer bar. One of my fishing kayaks does not have the typical V shaped bow and this block is the only one that I have found that supported it. Great purchase!



by:

Just what I needed at a fair price. Shipping was fast.



by:

High quality foam kayak blocks. Will be storing our Hobie kayaks on them for the winter. Love that they are 24 inches and very reasonably priced.



by:

Great blocks for my Savage River Falcon. 24" width helps as the normal 16" are nearly too narrow. Shipping from etrailer was very fast.



by:

Product was delivered in a timely manner.
It was a pleasure doing business with etrailer.com ... :-)



by:

Product looks great & arrived in very secure packaging.
The folks at etrailer were super responsive to my inquiry & product delivered sooner than expected.



by:

They took FOREVER to get to me in the summer of 2021 because of COVID supply chain problems in China (2+ months), but since I've got them, they've done exactly what I've needed them to do. They're awesome!



by:

Worked great for supporting my kayak.



by:

All good!



by:

A little tight to put on my rack but snug and perfect to lay the cockpit of my upside down kayak on.



by:

Exactly what I needed

Excellent product! Built to last!

  • Truck Bed Extender Recommendation to Carry Kayak or Ladder in Truck Bed
    If you have a 2 inch trailer hitch receiver on your truck, then you may be interested in the Erickson Big Bed Junior Load Extender # EM07605. This product will extend past your tail gate to carry items such as ladders or a kayak. You may also be interested in the Malone Foam Kayak Block, # MPG172. This will protect the hull of your kayak from the metal crossbar.

  • Will Two Kayaks of 58-Inch Total Width Fit on Darby Extend-A-Truck Kayak Carrier DTA944-968-924
    The load support items we offer, such as the Darby # DTA944-968-924, are not quite as wide as the 58-inch total width of your two side-by-side kayaks. But since most boats taper at the front and rear you may still be able to load your kayaks on this carrier. To make sure just place the kayaks side by side and measure the width between the two bow tips and the outside edges of the two stern sections. As long as these dimensions are within the width dimension for the load support bar you...

  • Will Malone Foam Block Kayak Carrier Fit Thule Wingbar Evo
    Yes the Malone Foam Block for Kayaks and Stand-Up Paddleboards # MPG172 that you referenced does fit the Thule Evo Bars part # TH711500. The capacity is 50 lbs for a kayak. It's hard to say what the capacity would be if you used additional foam blocks.

  • Best Support for Bow of Boat Carried on Ladder Rack on 2018 Ford F-150 Super Crew 5-1/2-Foot Bed
    My research indicates that Apex offers both over-the-cab ladder racks like the Thule TracRac Universal Steel Rac # TH91000 and also standard 2-bar racks like the T-Rac Pro2 Truck Bed Ladder Rack # TH37002XT. I presume you have one of the standard 2-bar racks. You have the option of installing a roof rack on your F-150's super-crew cab to help support the bow of the boat. The Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero rack # RR29XR offers a sleek appearance and quiet performance thanks to its aerodynamic-shape...

  • Could 2 Kayaks be Carried on the Darby Watersport Carriers # DTA944-968-924
    That would depend on the width of your two kayaks. The width of the upright hitch bar of the Darby Extend-A-Truck Kayak Carrier w/ Hitch Mounted Load Extender and Single-Bar Roof Rack # DTA944-968-924 is 48 inches. If the width of your 2 kayaks side by side is less than that you should be good. This comes with foam block, which for two kayaks you would want three more blocks like the Malone # MPG172. For additional straps you could get the part # Y05006.

  • Could the Thule Gate Mate Pro Be Used to Carry Kayaks or a Paddle Board
    I suppose you could use the Thule # TH824PRO in this manner; however it's not going to secure the boards or kayak in any manner and it's really just an expensive pad at that point. If you do want to use this in this manner you may want to consider adding some cam buckle straps like the Malone Cam Buckle Load Straps with Buckle Protectors - 12' Long - Red - Qty 2 # MPG307-12 to keep the board or kayak secured in the truck bed. The best solution would be to use a ladder rack. To protect...

  • Padding Needed for Carrying Kayak with Load Extender
    We do have a variety of options to help protect your kayak. These range from the foam blocks # MPG152 that you referenced to the linked page of crossbar pads like the Yakima part # Y07412 which are 20" long. If you can let me know what load extender you are using I can make more of a specific recommendation.

  • Recommendation on How to Carry Kayaks With Hard Tonneau Cover on Truck
    Having a ladder rack and a tonneau cover can be challenging because of the clearance each one needs. Looking at the hard cover, and the Erickson Over-The-Cab Truck Bed Ladder Rack # EM07707 you referenced I don't think that they would be compatible without major modification. Usually the tonneau cover or ladder rack will mount inside or on top of the bed rails, but they can't occupy the same space. I do have another option that would not involve any modifications to your tonneau cover....

    We can help you with a solution for carrying your 15-foot canoe on the roof of your trailer.

  • Could Darby Extend-A-Truck Kayak Carrier be used on 2008 Honda Ridgeline
    The Darby Extend-A-Truck Kayak Carrier w/ Hitch Mounted Load Extender # DTA944-968-924 can basically fit any vehicle that has a 2 inch hitch installed on it like your 2008 Honda Ridgeline. If you need a hitch you would want the part # 75280 that has been confirmed as a fit. For kayak carrier foam pads you would use the Malone part # MPG172. You would need a total of 4. Then for straps you would need the kit part # TH521. This part number is for 2 straps.

  • How Many Kayaks Can The Darby Extend-A-Truck Kayak Carrier Carry
    Yes, the Darby Extend-A-Truck Kayak Carrier part # DTA944-968-924 is capable of carrying 2 kayaks at the same time. As only the bow of the kayaks will be resting on the upright mast of the t-load, this will be sufficient for the width of both kayaks. However, you will need to purchase additional items to haul both kayaks on the same t-load at the same time such as an additional foam block like the Malone # MPG172 and a set of tie down straps such as the Thule Load Strap Cinch Straps part...

  • How To Obtain Additional Foam Blocks for the Darby Extend-A-Truck Kayak Carrier
    The Darby Extend-A-Truck Kayak Carrier part # DTA944-968-924 comes with one foam block. However, if you need more you can use the Malone Foam Kayak Block part # MPG172. If you need a pad for the crossbar then you can use the Malone Rack Padss part # MPG314.

  • Parts Needed to Use Darby Kayak Carrier DTA944-968-924 on 2007 Ford Fusion
    The hitches that are made or your 2007 Ford Fusion are the 1-1/4-inch Class I type, such as the Curt # C11329 that I recommend, so in order to use a 2-inch hitch-mount kayak carrier like the Darby # DTA944-968-924 you'll need a hitch adapter # HT5R to give you the needed 2-inch hitch opening. This adapter not only gives you the larger receiver opening but it also will give you 5-inches of rise (height gain) which will improve your ground clearance when using the Darby carrier. All adapters...

  • Recommended Kayak Carrier for Tandem Kayak Weighing 90 lbs and 21 Feet Long
    The Yakima SweetRoll Kayak Carrier w/ Tie-Downs - Saddle Style - Rear Loading # Y04074 has a load capacity of 80 lbs. For easy loading and support I recommend using the Erickson Big Bed Junior Load Extender for Truck Bed or Roof # EM07605 along with a foam block like the Malone # MPG172 and # e98880 hitch lock to help with the weight capacity as well as the extended length.

  • Recommended Heavy-Duty Canoe Carrying System for 2013 Toyota Tacoma
    If you have a 2-inch rear hitch on your 2013 Toyota Tacoma one particularly handy option is the Erickson Big Bed Junior Load Extender. This system consists of a hitch-mounted load support bar to support one end of your canoe. I recommend the Malone foam blocks part # MPG172 to cushion the load. It has an overall weight capacity of 350-lbs, overall width of 51-inches and it can adjust vertically over a range of 7-inches when used as a bed extender. This rack can be used to extend the...

  • Are There Malone Foam Blocks That Don't Have Cut Out
    Hi Frank, Each of the foam kayak blocks like the Malone Foam Block for Kayaks and Stand-Up Paddleboards # MPG172 do have some sort of cut out as they're meant to go around crossbars from a roof rack. There is one type of block that doesn't have a full cut out, just a small one in the middle, the Malone Foam Spacer Blocks for SUPs and Surfboards # MPG176. This is meant as a spacer instead of a carrier which is why it doesn't have a large cutout, and it'd be the closest option to what...

    The Darby Extend-A-Truck Kayak Carrier # DTA944-968-924 includes an easily removed universal rooftop crossbar that supports one end of the kayak while the included hitch load bar supports the other. The roof bar is adjustable and like the hitch support it comes off the vehicle easily when you're not transporting your kayak. If you plan to use two kayaks you can add a second foam block like the 24" Malone foam block # MGP172. The Darby does not include tie-down straps so you'll want to...

For a second foam block you'd could use the Malone foam block # MPG172 and then for straps you'd want the part # TH521.
